There is an old saying that fits this scenario to a “T”. HE BIT OFF MORE THAN HE COULD CHEW.
Possibly Putin never envisioned the strength of the United Nations and their support for Ukraine. I am sure that he thought conquering Ukraine would be a walk in the park. Was he ever wrong.
Needless to say without the support of the UN, the war would have never lasted this long.

The United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense released a time-lapse video Friday showing Russia’s territorial gains and losses during its invasion of Ukraine, calling Moscow’s effort to seize the northern part of the country a “costly failure.”
Defeat to a normal person can be taken somewhat with a grain of salt. Defeat to an egomaniac is brutal, traumatic and disastrous. Putin cannot be taking this ass whipping he is receiving with any type of jubilation.
It is just a devastating situation so many people have been killed and wounded, property destroyed all because of one warmongering aspirations. He a complete serpent and should not be allowed to slither among the human race.
As I have said all along; my main concern of Russia getting stomped/defeated; that the serpent just may bite the red button.
There are so many different ways to try to assess this deadly/horrific situation that includes all of mankind, it is almost impossible comprehend.
If Putin is a fatalist, (all indicators he is) and based on scientific factual data, he recognizes the fact that mankind is destroying itself, what does he have to lose?? To me that is a great possibility.
There are two people right now that are putting the hammer to their own societies. Kamikaze Joe is literally killing the United States with all of the irrational and illogical moves he has made since being in office. Putin he is doing the same, only he attempting to conquer the earth militarily. The world would be lot better off if these two varmint were never born.
Let us hope the common sense prevails on both sides of the fence. Am I optimistic??? Not really.
