2. That's because the FSB point man in Ukraine assured them

that he'd spent that billion dollars equipping and training forces loyal to Russia and Yanukovych and that Russian troops would have plenty of backup from those guys. Of course he'd just fucked off with the money and was blowing roses and sunshine up Putin's ass.

The one elite force he sent in to secure the Hostumel air base were all dead within 72 hours, tops.

Unfortunately, Putin is not a practical man.,
