I Wonder If Putin Thought It Would Take This Long? . Question 2,... I also wonder

if any of his advisors told him it would take this long?

Last, I wonder if any of his advisors told him that this action might destroy his reputation and Russia's reputation
for a very long time?

(My guess is, & it is a guess, is that Putin thought that this would be over by now)

(The war started 9 days ago on February 24...that is when it started. This is written on March 4, at 12:08 AM Central
Time)...And, it could go on a whole lot longer)

Speaking on WAMC radio's Roundtable yesterday, Nance said he had learned the plan was approved January 14 and was expected to be over within two weeks after they started. He was optimistic about Ukraine's chances.
