[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3741711, member: 1132"] I think the problem lies in real time assessments. They might not be wrong, but they're rarely right completely. If I had one word to describe Putin, it would be "evil". But given a few more I'd probably say "cunning" and "bold". He saw an opportunity to grab the prize he covets and he went for it. But, he was so busy watching the external factors in his favor, that he forgot to make sure the factors in his control were ready. They weren't. What all the prognosticators got completely wrong, was how long it would take the Russian Army to crush Ukraine. Had he actually done it in 2-3 days as planned, everything we're discussing now would be null and void. Instead we might be discussing whether he was an "evil genius", but that ship has sailed, hopefully forever. [/QUOTE]
