Russia wanted all of Ukraine, he expected the "Actor" to turn tail and run out of the country with a few million dollars in a suitcase - like most of Vlad's pals in third world dictators would do.
His troops were met with resistance, then defeat in key areas, no cheering Ukrainian civilians welcomed his killing armies. When they got bogged down, and military equipment by the thousands were being destroyed, he high-tailed it out of certain areas. He didn't care about the troops, or the lives lost, but the military equipment being destroyed he did care about.
Now, with 65% of his army attacking Ukraine, and the May-Day parade celebration a few weeks ago, it's panic time. They need victory and are basically doing anything and everything they can to claim one.
With the Russian and Communist press worldwide supporting them, as well as a few independent propagandists in the field, he may win that objective.
In a few years, when he has recovered the lost military equipment, he will go after Odessa, why? Because he wants all the oil and natural gas deposits offshore. He wants the 200 mile economic zone to be Russia's and no one else's, so he can continue paying off his Mafia bosses' and buying Superyacht's, while the people of Russia suffer from economic strangulation.
The people of Romania must be breathing a sigh of relief they joined NATO years ago. |
