When you think back to how Putin was presenting this as a several day "special military operation" it really boggles the mind how it has unspooled over all this time, and arriving at this state of affairs where it sounds like they may be able to conscript citizens but can't trust them with a functional gun.It does grow alarming to realize that Putin can't even find a way to declare "peace with honor" and walk away. He has still insisted on having those four sham referenda in eastern provinces. It's like a deadly no man's land there really, thanks to all the shelling. So the gain at best looks to be a disputed wasteland, lost or expended arms, a lot of dead Russians and their angry families back home... plus the wrath of families of all the displaced and dead or injured Ukrainians as well.What a price to be paying for tenuous accessions: the UN will not recognize those referenda as freely voted upon. The votes are occurring at gunpoint, house to house. [URL unfurl="true"]https://wapo.st/3xTBuHs[/URL]
