I think Putin knows he is fucked. [View all]

He is stuck, he is looking for a way out. He can't find one so he is just lashing out, trying to get Ukraine to surrender by brute force.

I guess the question is, how do we let Putin win, save face, without him really winning? That is a really tough question.
