But yet, they really aren't. Putin could just carpet bomb the shite out of Ukraine if he wanted to. He has so many options, besides nuclear, that could decimate Zelensky yet is going the route he's using.

Why is that? He could have been marching into Kyiv like 2 weeks after this started, but he's not.

It's not because of our money stream or that the Ukrainian horse jockey is a modern day Patton.

So tell us why?

Because he also believes Ukraine is Russia and bombing the shite out of Ukraine would do no good for Russia. If you’re trying to take a country for yourself, why destroy the place. Putin thought Ukraine would cave easily and that the West would be too scared to do anything about it. He thought the West’s response would be just like 2008 and 2014. He underestimated Ukraine and the West. Putin has several motives in this war. Trying to reestablish what he thinks is the real Russian Empire and trying to stick it to the West.
