Putin thinks Ukrainians are nothing more than petulant children?
Putin invades a country without his countrymen knowing and his military completely blind to the purpose in war games only to unleashes hell on a sovereign country. That is a victory? That is what Putin is saying. He is saying he has scored a victory in Ukraine. Who is keeping score because I don't see it that way at all.
Putin has murdered people, including children. He has displaced millions. He is threatening the lives of millions more. Invaded a protected nuclear facility at Chernobyl against any document that exists establishing that protection and control of the facility. He fires rockets into another nuclear facility without any conscience whatsoever at all and we are supposed to recognize that as a victory and time to normalize relations.
I don't think so.
