He has no experience fighting a war. His experience is in being overwhelmingly favored to win & sending troops in with quick results.
Zero experience.

that started at 5:45 with a siren test. Sound of distant thunder is getting a little closer now.
Rumor mill says the Russian stock market is closed until 15:00, Moscow time.
I just hope Putin has enough sense left to realize he's bitten off more than he can chew and is looking for a face-saving way out of this mess.
Live cams, sound on the Kiev cam, cathedral chimes on the hour pl us the sound of fighting.
