[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think Putin has badly miscalculated here. I'm sure he thought he'd already be in Kyiv right now with Zelensky's corpse swinging from a pole, and that the sanctions would not be as quick, as universal, or as harsh as they have been. He is surrounded by yes-men. Even if they do take Kyiv, I don't think they have the manpower or the resources to hold it or seriously subjugate Ukraine for very long, and the damage he has done to the Russian economy will last far beyond this war.

He's backed himself into a corner here. He's not going to be able to back down because he can't stand to lose face or look weak. The sanctions aren't going away and will probably get even worse. He hasn't groomed any successor by design, so he can't step down gracefully. At some point the oligarchs around him are going to get fed up with this stunt of absolutely ruining Russia's economy for little to no return and total loss of international legitimacy. No matter what happens in Ukraine. I feel like he's going to come to the same end as Nicholas II at some point. [/quote]

He may be allowed to go into exile, but I predict his ouster as well.

And at this point, can you imagine the international reaction if he harms one hair on Zelensky's head? The world will lose its $h!t.[/quote]
