Understanding the mind of a maniac is all but impossible. They don’t think in logical terms. Suffering defeat at the hands of a pushover can bring unexpected reactions; like a fighter trying to get in that last blow seconds before seeing stars.

But in war things are different; just ask the Japanese. Putin finds himself at the proverbial “Y” in the road. Will he continue on the same path, which apparently, the folks back home can’t stomach, or is he going the Psycho route?

Think about this for a moment! Getting his assed whip in a street fight, the guy takes out a Shiv, brass knuckles in tow. That is where Putin finds himself at the “Y” in the road. Only he knows what is next. However, threats of going Nuclear do not sit well with the nations of the world. This is a sign of desparation.

They see this as a brazen attempt to curate a win, when in fact the aggressor is being pummeled to death.  Putin sees himself as Napoleon, Caesar Augustus, Peter the Great, Alexander of Macedonia, Constantine,  Julius Caesar, William the Conqueror, Charlemagne, Ashoka and Genghis Khan all rolled into one.

However, Voldodymyr Zelenskyy is playing the role of Alfred the Great. Alfred’s claim to fame was that his kingdom was able to win wars that were hopeless.

The invasion continues to rage in the streets and air. Several Russian jets have been shot down. Tanks stopped in their tracks and prisoners taken This is not the picture Vlad the Invader envisioned.
