@ELuttwak Honestly if they don’t get more troops my gut tells me Russia will lose this (slowly and painfully though)

@ELuttwak @joshdcaplan I think you're wrong, unfortunately, but I pray you are right

@ELuttwak Rather try to topple the government and set up a client State. But it’s a good point: should 🇺🇦 army stand the test for just 1 week, international opposition might reach critical mass. Also resupplying troops will be a growing concern. Key: will Ukrainians withstand the push?

@ELuttwak @Heminator Maybe wait and declare victory after he's lost.

@ELuttwak How long until Transnistria “asks” Putin for “independence”

@ELuttwak I hope you right Sir. Thank you for your insight on entire conflict. It gives much more perspective than just emotions driven views.

@ELuttwak Prudent 🤔

@ELuttwak It remains to be seen how hard his troops will fight and for how long. It's a different era now. I agree. I think he overplayed his hand.

@ELuttwak how'bout the 2014 maidan coup? in your judgement how did that gamble worked out, especially for the Ukrainians of course.. Lots of gamblers in Washington and Langley too I'm afraid

@ELuttwak What comes after Putin?

@ELuttwak I concur. Putin is finished.

@ELuttwak Well, that explains why he asked for the army to step in and take power. If it works it's a winning move.

@ELuttwak it's too early to take a hunch

@ELuttwak U sure r that’s what’s happening?
