Morning In Ukraine

As I recall, studies after WWII found that incessant bombing did not break the will of the citizenry. On the contrary, it strengthened it. The outrage at being attacked in a way they couldn't respond do steeled their resolve to fight on. I read reports this morning that Putin wants to establish a puppet government, and withdraw. Urban warfare will destabilize his efforts, in this analysis, not strengthen them. Who's to say? There are as many explanations of Putin's actions available as there are stars in the sky, and some of them may be shedding light from sources long since gone black. The Ukrainians do not seem to want to gentle into that good night. Truth.
