RETHINKING - MARCH 8, 2022 - LESSON OF THE RUSSIAN CORPSES

 

An interesting opinion column of the journalist Walter Russell Mead posted on March 7 in the Wall Street Journal starts with the following title: “Putin’s War Will Get Uglier”

 

After a week that Ukraine's invasion started, all the world knows, the Russians didn’t go to the neighboring country for a victory parade to Kyiv.

 

About this subject, the WSJ columnist wrote that “Vladimir Putin is beginning to understand the immense difficulty of the war ...”

 

But the more dramatic observation of Walter Russell Mead about Mr. Putin was: “he knows that families all over Russia will soon be mourning their sons as the death toll mounts in Ukraine.

 

My opinion posted in the WSJ Online blog is that: “Mr. Putin has to prepare for receiving the sacks of dead Russian soldiers that will come to Moscow. He deserves that the Ukrainians massacre his troops.”

 

In other words, I think that reception of the sacks of thousands of  dead soldiers will be the lesson that the Russian ruler will learn soon. Now, it is late to say that it was a mistake of his generals and advisors. Mr. Putin has over his shoulders the responsibility of the new European massacre. 

 

The open question is how President Putin will pay for his crazy idea to invade a sovereign country with the pretext to hunt the “Ukrainian Nazis.”
