It would be funny if it wasn't so bloody and violent. Russian President Vladimir Putin thought he could overcome 300 years of military history in which armies struggled and drowned in Ukrainian mud.
According to a new report in CNBC, Russia did not take into account the time of year when it invaded Ukraine. The army began their invasion in February, the same time of year as the road season.
According to the news outlet, Russia analysts and military experts almost can't believe that it has gone so badly for Putin.
The fact that several war mongers before him fell to the same obstacle is a reason why Putin should have known better than to invade Ukraine. Napoleon Bonaparte couldn't do it in 1812 and Hitler couldn't do it in 1941.
It raises real questions for me because the Russians have been doing military drills and practicing foreign invasions for almost a decade.
Win stupid prizes by playing stupid games. Why did Putin think his assault would be different? Anything that reduces civilian casualties has a bright side.
There are two Russian Oligarchs who die suddenly.
