Russian President Vladimir Putin (screen capture)To recap, Putin’s accomplishments so far:
Created a shockingly unified Europe; Outraged and alienated his largest and most cherished energy customers; Crashed the ruble and doomed the Russian economy and people to an inevitable deep and long period of misery and despair; Sparked worldwide condemnation and disgust; Badly miscalculated the trajectory of his invasion, and all as the Ukrainian people and its leader inspire admiration and respect around the globe.
Or as Trump would say, Putin’s a “savvy genius.”
