Kind of looks like Russia doesn't want
40 million fellow Slavs on their border
all pissed off at them.
Russia has enough fire power to flatten Ukraine,
but his army can't control those people. They have had a
taste of Freedom and they aren't going back to the "good old days".
I don't think he wants to kill them all.
Sort of like Lincoln pardoning the secessionists in 1865.
Stupid but it was the best choice at the time.
We'll see what develops.
We have learned that the Russians can only fight a "scorched Earth" kind of
War. They can't do a Power projection
like America can( however we always gets defeated by internal politics,
So we are both losers for different reasons).
I predict that an option will be offered to the people of Ukraine and They will vote it up or down.
