Putin's unforced act of hara-kiri

"Trump is now going to lay down the hammer to Putin on more primary and secondary sanctions. Putin said our sanctions are meaningless to him, but his Oligarchs might have a differing opinion. War is costly, and most civilized nations eschew war at all costs."

Did you hear what Putin did to the civilians in Ukraine over the weekend? He sent in over 800 suicide drones and a few missiles to boot. Does this sound like a guy who wants to smoke the peace pipe? Not in my book. People who suspected that Putin was just playing the peacemakers, are starting to look much smarter today. Putin has all but lost his entire tank inventory, and over a million troops. But who cares? I have said this before, if not for Putin's nukes, he would be gone. But he does have nukes, and he continues to threaten to use them.

This is for sure the best example of somebody attempting to achieve a pyrrhic victory that I have ever seen. Russia is now the scourge of the Earth. Putin is a world class war criminal. Putin's once fear army is laying in tatters now, over much of the landscape in Ukraine. The freedom fighters of Ukraine have figured out how to get munitions over the border into Russia to do great damage to their energy resources. Bottom line? Russia is a mess right now. All this, because of some demented idea in Putin's head that Russia could be like the Czars of yesteryear. What a fool.

One might wonder where this will all end up. Will it end with Putin committing actual or political hara-kiri? I can't image him staying in power once this over. There needs to be a price to be paid for laying waste not only to a neighboring sovereign state, but also his own country. And should Ukraine fall, what is the victory? A destroyed country? The cost of this damaged prize is incalculable. All this, just to identify with Adolph Hitler.

Trump is now going to lay down the hammer to Putin on more primary and secondary sanctions. Putin said our sanctions are meaningless to him, but his Oligarchs might have a differing opinion. War is costly, and most civilized nations eschew war at all costs. However, if war comes, then most countries fight to vanquish the aggressor. That is exactly what Ukraine is doing right now. Ukraine is not just killing Russian troops - they are slaughtering them. And to what end, if you are a Russian parent. 

How bad of a man is Putin? World class bad. As time goes on, every now and again, a real baddy shows up. But this guy Putin, he might be in a class by himself. Hopefully, enough good people in Russia remain to fix their own problem. That would be the best solution.
