3. Dear Vladimir

Can I interest you in the Gospel of Luke? Specifically Chapter 14? Beginning at Verse 28:

28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’

31 “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? 32 If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. 33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.

Did you start building a tower you couldn't complete? Or contemplate a war that you couldn't win? "Everyone . . . will ridicule you."

5. Am I the only one who is tired of

hearing about how Putin is losing when all we see is the ongoing decimation of the whole of Ukraine…?

8. He is losing big time,

his military hasn't achieved any of it's strategic goals yet, Russian soldiers are dying in massive numbers, troop morale is in the shitter, practically the whole world is against him, the Russian economy is dropping like a stone, so, yeah, he's losing big time.

10. No you're not. It's a fight for the free world.

Putin.Has.To.Lose. there because he won’t stop until he does. It’s not fair that so much should be asked of one country but, there it is. The free nations of the world owe Zelensky and Ukraine whatever they want.

12. Yes, you are so right.

I need to remind myself of that as this goes on.

7. Read earlier that Russia is pulling men from South Ossetia

9. Putin is going to bluff his way into oblivion if he isn't careful.

He may not end up with any part of Ukraine if this goes on much longer. They want to try to starve cities out because they are losing in every other aspect.

11. Russia is losing big time, but as long as he stays in power, Putin is still winning. Nt
