I wonder if Putin saw our Afghan puppet state grab their millions and leave the country to the Taliban last summer in about three days and assume that a quick shock and awe border crossing would lead to surrenders and the Ukranian government fleeing. Now that's not the case, they're stuck trying to take Kiev with a less than fully prepared and supplied army
