Putin's Invasion of Ukraine
I don't know why putin chose to pull the trigger on an actual invasion. Was it impatience? I we do know that potin's not good at feeling that he doesn't have initiative. The venom with which he talks about ukraine in his most recent speeches is really quite, quite striking and quite telling. One way or the other, he abandoned a successful political strategy in favour of a very, very risky military one. What's really striking is that this was not the kind of military operation that the russian army plans, prepares, trains and equips for.
