Have to admit it's been a weirdly bizarre month listening to some left pundits call for more force and advocating 'partial no-fly zones' (that's not a thing) and in the words of Don Lemon "brute force" and some on the right absolutely excuse away and bend over for Russian invading and slaying true actual "freedom fighters" and civilians.

Honestly Putin has no out here. He's over his skies entirely and the corruption among the ranks is now rearing its head on the field being ill-equipped, demoralized and feeding conscripts into a meat grinder of urban combat. True to form though regardless of your banner...the civilians and the most innocent are being forever traumatized. Hard to think that Putin is unfamiliar with the aftermath of the failed Afghanistan invasion and revolt that shortly followed. One can hope eh
