Putler, you said? Certainly gave me a good laugh.
Well, Putler said he could occupy Kiev in 2 weeks and I believe he is right (maybe 3-4 weeks because of logistics issues).
Putin underestimated himself. If Russia invades Ukraine (for real), then everything will be over in 24 hours. There will be only two major battles. The battle of Kiev and the battle of Lvov. The first one will be fought in the morning and the second one in the afternoon. The regular Ukrainian forces will surrender even before the invasion begins. Only the right sector loonies will offer themselves as cannon fodder.
lol, all Ukraine be over in 24 hours - ruSSians still can't take one airport in weeks
A small group of Ukrainians have been holding the Donetsk airport despite weeks of attacks -- the worst was yesterday, when they came under heavy artillery fire. But they held the airport and say that they inflicted heavy losses on the Russian side. During Russian attacks, they evidently hide in the airport's basements where they also hold Russian prisoners. I read a few reports where the Russians have called them cyborgs because they seem indestructible.
