But again I point to his string of burned-out tanks on the road to Kyiv. Do I need to find a citation to prove that they exist? We all looked at pictures of them for weeks. His "plan" at that point was pretty obvious.
But the road was too long, the opposition too determined, and the tanks too flammable.
Kyiv and Zelensky still stand. Russia was never prepared for a lengthy occupation or even to defend the territory it annexed in 2014.
Both China and India, Putin's biggest allies, have requested that he cool his jets and negotiate a settlement because this sh*t is bad for business. (and people, Modi even mentioned people)
Putin blames Ukraine for the failure of the negotiations and refuses to call off his dogs.
Once his attempt to take out Kyiv failed it has been anybody's guess what Putin planned or hoped to ultimately accomplish.
I think this is going to end badly for Putin.
PM Modi and I are in complete agreement...this is not an era for war.
