Sarcasm:...Putin Needs To Read Russian History...



You would think that Putin would know what happened when Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in 1941. Hitler was
so sure of victory, that he failed to equip the troops with winter clothing. German soldiers were not equipped with
winter clothing. . So, when German troops met opposition that they did not think they could possibly meet, the
battle continued on to the Russian winter. And winter in Moscow is not, repeat not warm. And Russia opposition
was far stronger than Hitler anticipated. Further, Russian troops were brought in from Siberia and those
troops were specialists in fighting in cold weather..Siberia is very cold.

So Ukraine soldiers are fighting in ways Putin hadn't anticipated. I guess that Putin is not
as smart as he thinks he is. Yes, smart leaders make awful mistakes. Well, I guess they aren't that smart at all.
Of course, the United States has never had such a leader...Well...maybe, maybe not



Also, Putin was sure there would be no world opposition to his invasion. Putin is sure the invasion would be successful,
with ...........few consequences.......I suspect he hadn't figured that one out either...
