Capitulating. Putin may believe he has a good reason Russian troops are in Ukraine. Maybe he thinks nobody plays by the rules anyway.He's causing destruction and mayhem but that's nothing new. You see, when he built a multi-billion dollar pipeline to supply oil and gas to Western Europe, to make a profit for the Russian people, he wasn't thinking about war. The war in Ukraine was something different. But when the Nord-Stream II was blown-up, that was an act of war against Russia. So we may be at war with Russia and also China, a war causing America to capitulate because of our financial and mental unfitness.
