Putin banks on wavering support for Ukraine, amid a race against time

[Gunny]

I suspected this has been his plan since he got blindsided by Western support. So far, counting his invasion of Georgia and Ukraine, he has proved himself about as brilliant as LBJ when it comes to conducting a war:rolleyes:

I agree with the First part of the headline. But I think msm underestimates his timeline.

I agree with the First part of the headline. But I think msm underestimates his timeline.He's had to adjust his timeline. He entered into this thinking 48-72 hours. Hit the population centers and replace their governments/civic leaders.

A leaderless population doesn't do much. Look at ours:rolleyes:

I think Putin is counting on a deal. Especially if by some miracle Trump becomes President again. You know Trump loves his deals and thinks he's the master:rolleyes: Ukraine cedes what Putin is occupying or no more support in return for Putin backing off. Same deal Kissinger/Nixon gave Vietnam and Chamberlain gave Hitler. Those worked out well:rolleyes:
