(#5149) We see putin has lost yet his arrogance won't allow him to see it

      With the overnight massive missile strike all over Ukraine we see that putin is more angry than smart. He just shot off a bunch of missiles at non military targets which only inspires the Ukrainians to fight harder for their national heritage. Now putin who is short munitions already just wasted a lot more by not using his missiles for strategic purposes. Instead he used his missiles in anger and looked to kill civilians. More war crimes committed by putin however I don't think putin cares. He thinks he will win this invasion of Ukraine and not be admonished for it. However he will lose this invasion of Ukraine and if he doesn't bite the dust he will be tried and convicted in a war crimes tribunal.
     The powers that be that prop up putin are hoping putin can hold out until the 2024 US elections. They are working to elect a republican who will do their bidding and undermine Ukrainian support. However that long game concept is very dicey as Ukraine will not wait until then to end this illegal invasion by Russia. Ukraine will be coming for all it's land and within the next few months may well achieve that goal. With putin wasting his munitions on non military targets Ukraine is not. Ukraine is strategic in how they deploy their missiles and are very successful at hitting Russian troop concentrations and Russian weapon and fuel depots. As well they seem to be able to hit Russian military command and control centers with high efficiency.
     The arrogance of putin allows him to aim his missiles at civilians as a way to express his anger at losing his invasion in Ukraine. He thought the invasion would be a cake walk with practically no fatalities. Yet one year and some into the failed invasion putin has actually lost territory in Ukraine previously acquired through strong arm tactics in 2014. So from the height of his power on February 24, 2022 to now where he is in constant danger of being ended and or overthrown, his die is cast. There is no recovering from this. He may think he has an escape hatch in Ukraine but he does not because his advantages have all been taken from him. There is no path to victory for putin and he will never see that.
