In Ukraine, Putin is bound to lose

Al Jazeera  

If it was not plain before, Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine and Ukrainians has revealed these self-evident truths. All of the above who stampede to Twitter every other moment to share their trite, hyperbolic musings and “insight” about Putin, war and Ukraine may think they matter, but they do not. Angry people who have come together in the streets across the globe – even in placid, “neutral” Switzerland – to denounce and reject war and, instead, call, as one, for peace, matter. Putin may have calculated that Ukrainians would cower and capitulate and that the rank, Soviet-style rhetoric meant to smear a freely elected government as a “junta” filled with “criminals” and “drug traffickers” would work. Meanwhile, one marquee and habitually wrong American columnist who once championed fear, force and “regime change” in the Middle East and Afghanistan and now opposes it when a European nation is the target, recently wrote that the world-wide-web may turn out to be Ukraine’s salvation.
