Sometimes, occupying an apartment surrounded by noisy tenants is a heck of a lot more tortuous than moving into it. I think both the US and Russia learned that lesson in Afghanistan. Apparently, both of us are slow learners. I have no idea how Putin thinks he is going to occupy a building with 40 million angry tenants with semi automatic rifles stuffed under their mattresses with a mere 190,000 troops.
Easy. Most know their gov is corrupt to the core and won’t fight. Each day more and more truth gets out that backs up Putin’s claims. It never should of come to war, but Ukraine leadership doesn’t care about its citizens.
1. A majority of the Ukrainian people would welcome the Russians.
2. Europe wouldn't have the resolve since they were buying and desperate for Russian Nat Gas because of their stupid green energy policies.
3. Joe Biden is an old senile doofus and America are easy.
