May 9-10, 2022 -- Wartime Report -- Putin's gamble lost and his regime is done
Vladimir Putin, claimed by many to be a master strategist, played a game of Blackjack in his invasion of Ukraine. Putin, by deciding to take a hit on 21, saw Russia's annual May 9 "Victory over Fascism" parade on Red Square only mark the Soviet defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945. Putin's desired victory over what he had termed "Nazism" in Ukraine now lies in disaster after Putin's "Potemkin military" could only show off its big intercontinental ballistic missiles and remaining operational tanks in Moscow.
Not only have Ukrainian forces routed Russia's attempts to seize Kyiv and Kharkiv, but Russia's psychological warfare strategy of uniting pro-Russian sentiment in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, Odessa, and Transnistria now lies in shambles. A large number of Russian-speaking eastern Ukrainians, originally supportive of Russia and its two self-declared "people's republics" of Lugansk and Donetsk, have recoiled at Moscow's scorched earth policy in Ukraine. In witnessing the Russian destruction of cities like Mariupol and massacres in towns like Bucha, Ukrainians of all stripes have turned their anger on Russia and its murderous mercenaries from the Wagner Group, Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov's Chechen National Guard, and Syrian paramilitaries.
Meanwhile, Putin's Belarusian ally, dictator Aleksandr Lukashenko, has publicly bemoaned Putin's Ukrainian "special operation," as the invasion is dubbed. Lukashenko, in a television interview with the Associated Press in Minsk said, "I feel like this operation has dragged on." Lukashenko's complaint to a Western media organization could not have come as good news to Putin and his regime. Lukashenko is also having to deal with a group of homegrown railroad saboteurs, who are damaging key nodes in the Belarus rail system to disrupt the movement of Russian troops and materiel to Ukraine.
