“Putin's had this one of his talents as a leader slot has been playing a weekend into a strong hand...he needs to end the war too at least suspend it because I mean he's having a hard time raising and throwing Fighters into the wood chipper...it would be good for Putin to have six months a year to rest and rebuild”
