The strangest thing for me is that Putin is using tactics that Russia has used for 1000 years to accomplish things. In other words "Their soldiers are mostly untrained cannon fodder" being blown up by Ukrainian Soldiers using Guerrilla tactics which are very "in the moment". But, because Ukrainians didn't greet the Russian Soldiers with flowers, Russian soldiers (like for the last 1000 years or so) believe they have to kill or Rape or both every Ukrainian Man, woman or child.
Because of all the anger murder, rape and rancor I don't see how any of this gets resolved in any useful way (at least for the next 50 to 70 years time). It was like is after World War II for example. Here' just one example, in the 1950s people who were in or affected by World War II would NEVER buy a German or Japanese Car out of revenge for World War II incidents.
But, because I wasn't born until 1948 I'm not like this. But, when I took my mother to Germany, her reaction was never to get out of the Motor home I rented throughout Germany, Switzerland, Austria or Italy. So, I had to go buy food and bring it to her all the time. Later I learned taking her to Germany literally put her in the beginning stages of senile dementia. But, I didn't understand that this could or would happen to someone 80 plus years old traveling to Europe and England and Scotland where her parents grew up near Glascow, Scotland. But, it was when we landed in Germany with English and German flight attendants screaming at each other for some reason that she just couldn't deal with that at all.
However, being born in 1948 I didn't have these wartime views so I wound up buying a 1965 VW Bug for college which was my 2nd car when I was 18 with my parents help. I had worked and bought my own first car that I bought for 800 dollars in 1964 which was a 1956 Ford STationwagon that I called my "Surf Wagon" because I was a surfer in 1964 when I was 16.
The point is people are going to be taking revenge on each other Family to family between Ukraine and Russia for the next 50 to 70 years or longer. This needs to be expected now ongoing.
How would you feel if you knew who was raping and killing your friends and relatives? You aren't going to forgive them likely unless you are very religious and capable of that. Most people who experience this level of horror just find some way to take revenge in the short or long run. And this will be just as true of Russians as Ukrainians which is what is really awful because of Russian Propaganda. For most people it doesn't matter why people killed your relatives or friends, they just want revenge, period.
So, because of thousands of deaths now on all sides there will be incredible revenge seeking to come now for the next 70 years or more. This theoretically could never end depending upon the people and the family on both sides.
