Putin has made the biggest mistake of his life

Vladimir Putin comes across as a leader who knows his mind, knows his onions and cares not a lickspittle about any other country in the world other than Mother Russia and its lost empire. But right now, after the second day of his invasion of Ukraine, he must for the first time be worried sick. Has he made the worst strategic decision of his life? The invasion is not going as rapidly or as smoothly as he had hoped. Resistance in Kyiv is pretty robust and looks like getting even more so after the ex-comedian Ukrainian president announced every man, woman and child can go to the armoury to pick up a rifle. When the Russian troops arrive en masse in the capital, they are going to get a bloody nose. And the whole world except for idiots like Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua has condemned him. Articles are appearing everywhere saying Putin is a madman. Most people looking and listening to his speeches will agree. He has become psychologically unsound to put it mildly. He is so obsessed with the Soviet Empire and its past greatness that he has lost all sense of reality. Let us hope and dream that the invasion will fail, the Russian soldiers will demand to go home, the people of Russia will rebel, and Putin's leadership days will be over. Fingers crossed.
