there are hints floating about of Austrian-style neutrality for ukraine; this would allow putin to withdraw with a little face left as he claims that is all he really wanted anyway. ukraine killed a fourth russian general yesterday, by the way. i reckon putin is under severe pressure from the oligarchs to get out of this mess; they are losing billions ...
I think Putin is intentionally putting his generals that gave him bad advice on the front line to be sacrificed for his cause.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
