I never said it would work! Everything he's doing is failing, thank God. Vindman has just tweeted very optimistically that Russia needs 14 times more troops than they have on the southern front. He is campaigning 24/7 for the US to send heavy weapons. He needs ro demonstrate that the Russians are beatable. Americans don't like to commit to the losing side.

They are as we have seen beatable, but at what cost to civilian life we don't know. Mariupol razed to the ground and Kharkiv too is what they want now. Their own loss of life does not matter anymore, it is about showing the world they are a force to reckon with. I'm hoping for that silver bullet to end this nightmare, although paranoia has already set in with Putin, so not much chance for that.
Intent may be there, but it will never work. What he has created though is the generation upon generation of Ukraine people who will never ever forget what he/Russia has done to them. The hatred of Russian people will also spread elsewhere, they will become persona non grata in many of places all over the world. Which unfortunately will create many more little Putins.
