Wishful thinking - indeed. (12/03/22 11:41:56)
The sanctions seem to bite. Bankrupting Russia - who would have thought that possible? And the home front crumbling - from the state TV talk show in Moscow - to the gift to Ukraine from the Russian ship's crew - 5000 NOK in cash in an envelope handed over to a harbour worker somewhere in Norway (to end up with Ukrainian Red Cross). Full trains to Helsinki; full extraflights to Tbilisi.
There seems to be minimal chance that the tsar can save his face. Or his money.
Meanwhile the killings and destroyings continue.
