    Yeah you may be right, I even hope you’re right. But I don’t think Putin cares about saving face in the west.

    I would guess his biggest challenge would be keeping the Belorussian people in line. I know little about the country, I should probably read up!

      I do not think he wants to save face in the west, but within Russia itself. But who knows 🤷

        That’s exactly right. I imagine Putin & his lackeys are very busy indeed right now. Just I would definitely not count him out like many articles seem to be.
