Well… I have been trying to avoid commenting on the point that Putin is going to lose in Ukraine as there are still untold war crimes he and his troops are committing there by targeting civilians and continuing to kill thousands of them…and it seems to be disrespectful to sit here on my soft warm couch and opine while Ukrainians are fighting for their lives…but, it does appear that with the latest round of support for the Ukrainians from across the globe, the tide is turning as they start concerted counterattacks on the Russian invaders. One of the things I find most stunning is that the Russian military, once thought to be one of the best in the world appears to be a hollowed out shell of itself…incapable of the things that normal armies do as a matter of course…I mean they are even using cell phones and commercial walkie talkies to try to talk to each other and even those aren’t working to coordinate attacks like a normal army does….and it is clear they can’t supply the army with even the basics of food and water as the videos of Russian soldiers stealing chickens and looting grocery stores show….and this just supports what I proposed in an earlier post, that 2 squadrons of A-10 attack jets could defeat this whole Russian invasion all by themselves…and if a NATO army was brought to bear on the Russian forces with all the force that entails, it would take a day or less for Russia to be defeated and driven from Ukraine….one last thing to remember is that Putin is now going to be isolated in Russia and will never be able to leave there again or he will be arrested and taken to the Hague for trial on the war crimes his troop have committed…this is a far cry from the superpower that he postured Russia to be…and maybe this will be his end…we can only hope…
