What mistake? I keep hearing that, but no specifics
For one thing, he didn’t expect demonstrations in Moscow against what he did.
For another, he didn’t expect Zelensky to show such strength.
Another thing, Europe is shocked and angry that he is doing such a stupid thing. Nato has come back from being asleep and the general feel of ...including CNN...that what he did was a political disaster.
When I saw him yesterday, he looked different...red cheeks, eyes like deer in headlights...IMO he has come to the realization that what he is doing is STUPID.
Ukraine is a sovereign country. Putin’s comparing it to Nazi Germany is foolish. Zelensky is Jewish. THAT was a mistake.
But I could be wrong.
