But Putin can't just call quits. If he quits now, he quits in defeat and humiliation. That cannot end well for him. So he will seek to negotiate something - anything! - that can be presented as a victory to compensate Russia for the economic ruin that Putin blundered into. 3/x — PolitiTweet.org

Putin laid waste to the Russian economy in support of a failed war of aggression against neighboring Ukraine. Russia has lost thousands of soldiers, wrecked masses of equipment, committed massively publicly war crimes - without achieving any of its military objectives. 2/x — PolitiTweet.org

But what can that offsetting something be, that was worth burning 25 years of Russian development in 10 days? Putin already had Crimea, already had his bits of eastern Ukraine. And now he's going to be negotiating from a position of worsening weakness. 4/x — PolitiTweet.org
