Poor maintenance and low morale is what it looks like to me. The grunts who are turning themselves in say they thought it was “training” until the last minute. Not sure how much I believe that…

It as if Putin drafted rough plans to attack, but never finalized them. Then, after all that public grandstanding he couldn’t back down without looking like a coward. So he said “fuck it”, and gambled hoping it would be Crimea 2.0.

We didn’t stand up enough to him then, so the bully got emboldened.
