Madman Putin: “We are stronger [than] everybody...When a Russian feels he is right, he is invincible” “inner hesitations...are dangerous”

@emptywheel Maybe Putin's Ukraine venture will start to sound like LBJ's Vietnam. -
@rgoodlaw Perhaps. He's probably in a stronger position there than LBJ was in Vietnam, on a number of counts. -
@emptywheel Of course. I didn't mean to draw a complete analogy. Hopefully it will cross the line of strategic debacle. -
@rgoodlaw And if it does it leads to less misery ... how? -
@emptywheel He will not go beyond Ukraine, and he'll leave east Ukraine alone. Not a controversial point. -
@rgoodlaw You dodged my question entirely. What is it that those trying to defeat Putin are offering? -
@emptywheel Now it feels like we're having two separate conversations. Where did you ask me that Q? And who is "those" and offering to whom? -
@rgoodlaw Calling Putin a crazy douchebag (he is) usually serves as a crutch to avoid thinking abt what kind of class this really is.
