3. I don't think Putin understood what what he has gotten Russian into.

So not only is he up against the Ukrainian forces but international volunteers from around the
world, Chechen and Belarusian fighters he brought to Ukraine to fight for Russia who are
now fighting with the Ukrainians against Russia, some of the Russian troops themselves are
in open revolt about being in Ukraine and the war, and those Crimean Tatars look pretty salty
too. And add in that Ukraine is now getting the best western intel and weapons too.

Although I wish Ukraine would get some state of the art fighter attack aircraft ASAP.

2. al Jazeera does very good work. Great post. It was striking how calm and self possessed ...

... everyone seemed. I am afraid I do not have the sand the average Ukraine seems to have. G#D bless these people in their struggle.
