Russia was put in a geopolitical corner.
By russia.
They attacked Georgia in 2008, they attacked ukraine in 2014.
This is why nobody likes them and everybody wants to see them suffer, this is why so many countries were happy to give ukraine weapons if it meant Russian invaders would die.
Russia is a bully nation, and we get to watch that most beautiful moment, when the bullied stands up and blasts their bully in the face with a himars.
Putin won't last through the year, the thunder run destroyed his aura of invulnerability, I look forward to watching him do his Nick II impression.
Putin wasn't 'put in a position', he's the ruler of Russia, he has agency, and now we get to watch the Russian people pay the price for his stupidity.
