Op-Ed from General Michael Flynn

Putin will end up like we did in Vietnam, and Russia did in Afghanistan. He'll win the battles, but ultimately he will lose the war. We couldn't beat the Viet Cong with all of our military might. Saigon fell just hours after we left.

And the entire Russian army was run out of Afghanistan by the Mujahedin on horseback. This will drag on for years in Ukraine. Long after the news reporters have left. Those people are committed to fight to the last man standing, and they will prevail.

People in this country can't understand that kind of total conviction. The Ukrainians would rather die than lose. A body count won't break their resolve..... It will Putin's. The Mujahedin did to Gorbachev, what the Ukrainian's will do to Putin.... And they'll have the entire world on their side doing it.

What drug, or delusion makes you think Putin gives a crap what the Russian people think ?
Public opinion has no bearing on him.
Your talking about the guy who had Moscow apt buildings bombed to justify the Chechen war.
Ukraines are handing out weapons to every one with a pulse, They will fight a "terrorist" war until they are killed, just like after WWII .
Gutless West will give their support in words when air strikes are appropriate.
If this happened to America the Democrats would get a judge to sign an injunction against using the Army, then would protest the racist reaction to the under priveleged Russians just seeking a better life.
"Patriots" wouldn't notice till after they picked out a cool patch and a couple FB memes.

Putin has already lost. It's only a matter of time before the billionaire Oligarchs who help keep him in power, turn on him. Both they and Putin have had the bulk of their assets frozen most all over the planet. They can't get their money, land their private jets, or dock their yachts.

The army is getting clipped far worse than they, or Putin thought they would. It's getting worse by the hour. Now the Russian soccer team has even been banned from playing anywhere. Everyone is going to want his head on a stick.

Are you sure he won't just freak out and push "the" button? He is only slightly as coherent as Biden.

Yes, Being banned from International Figure Skating is knocking hell out of those armored divisions .
Putin's teeth have really been pulled now that his Judo black belt has been revoked.
The only ones who don't have their heads firmly up their ass are some of the Ukrainians.
Those anti Russian racists are actually shooting back.
