Putin~~We know what Putin wanted at the outset: to conquer Ukraine whole, in a quick victory, and append it to Russia in some sort of Slavic Christian confederation that would look like both the Russian empire and the former Soviet Union. Putin is no Communist, but he aches for the old U.S.S.R. He yearns to be some weird combination of a tsar and a Soviet general secretary leading a giant Russian-Soviet imperial blob against all of Europe and North America~~
As a practicing Eastern Orthodox Christian--"No thanks to this."
