The Russian people are known to be very strong people.
But they are also not stupid people.

Most probably are aware of Putin's authoritarianism and assassinations of opposition leaders.
The US would have a remarkable friend in Russia if that could ever come to pass.
Imagine a world where Russia becomes a Republic with free elections and an ally of the West !

VLADIMIR Putin has been forced to pull back his jets and helicopters from Crimea after a massive blitz on Russian military bases - as humiliating video shows mutinying soldiers refusing to fight.
Ukrainian intelligence sources claim some 24 fighter jets and bombers along with 14 choppers retreated deeper into the Black Sea peninsula - or back to mainland Russia.
The dramatic withdrawal follows the heavy bombardment of Putin's military bases on the Russian-occupied peninsula over the last nine days from Ukrainian special forces.
A devastating series of explosions at an air base last week destroyed 20 jets and caused £1bn of damage.
And on Tuesday, a Russian ammunition depot burst into flames after it was rocked by a blast, leaving two people injured.

The retreat suggests Putin fears fresh losses on the battlefield - and the apparent Ukrainian ability to strike deeper into Russian-occupied territory could indicate a dramatic shift in the war.
It comes as footage showed the moment dozens of pro-Putin fighters mutinied by refusing to head to the frontline in Donetsk, in the east of Ukraine.
Crimea provides the main supply route for Russian forces in southern Ukraine - where Kyiv is expected to launch a counter-offensive in coming weeks.


Commentary:
Indeed, this was a brilliant strategy to strike at Crimea. Putin never imagined this could happen.
It was a smart strategy to go for Crimea. All eyes were on Ukraine and assumed Ukraine would be on the defensive the whole time. This switches things when now the Russians have to think on 2 perspectives. They can’t devote all resources to the offense when their airfields and supply zones are vulnerable. You pull back forces to defend those areas and now your offense is that much weakened.
This is interesting because Putin thought Russia would have completely conquered Ukraine by now.
