How Putin might back out of Ukraine

[Robert Urbanek]

Given Putin’s total control over Russian media, he has the option of eventually pulling out of Ukraine while still declaring victory, perhaps with language such as “Our special operation has succeeded in destroying the Nazi elements of the Ukraine military and our soldiers can now proudly return home.”

A precedent for a dictator backing out of a military stalemate can be found in the Iran-Iraq War, which lasted from 1980 to 1988. Saddam Hussein claimed victory although the end of the war resulted in no border changes.

In 1990 Saddam Hussein rode on a white horse under the newly created "Hands of Victory" monument to commemorate his declared victory over Iran in the Iran-Iraq war. The hands of the monument were created from casts of the dictator’s very own arms.

Hopefully, Putin won’t take eight years to declare victory and leave Ukraine.

Putin has painted himself into a corner

He cannot afford to have the mighty Russian Army withdraw without a solid victory

Yeah, I've been wondering about that. It's too late for his standing on the world stage, and he'll need to keep a damn near Kim-like grip on that country going forward, but at least he'd be decreasing the chance that he'll get knifed in the Kremlin.

Putin has built a Machismo image

Failing in his unprovoked attack on Ukraine is not an option
He cannot meekly withdraw after so much loss and suffering

He is in a LOSE/LOSE situation

I think he will eventually be killed or escapes somewhere

Actually, it was Russia's Vietnam....

The status quo in Afghanistan held until Biden pulled ALL of our troops out of Bagram in the middle of the night, then turned all of our equipment over to the Taliban....

And now Russia is having a hell of a fight against Ukraine's military and a bunch of CIVILIANS!!!!!

Where are Biden's supporters now????

And get we talk JoeB into getting out from under his bed long enough to hand out toilet paper to all of the Democrats that are shitting themselves????

Bush made a MAJOR blunder when he got us into Iraq and Afghanistan

Obama got us out of Iraq
Biden got us out of Afghanistan

That's not what he wants. He wants a declaration that Ukraine will never join NATO and he wants to choose the next presidenr.
