Putin was going to take Ukraine in 3 days... 6 months ago. It is time we all agree that Putin failed, and liberal democracy survived. In the Spring, Ukraine will have a million more trained and armed soldiers, and Putin will have thousands fewer. Maybe Putin should start begging for a truce.
And the US and surrounding European countries are also helping out with weapons and supplies. I don't think the Russian people are going to put up with the dead and injured much longer just to satisfy an itch Putin has for re-uniting the union.
