I agree something does not add up. Where are the Russian regulars? Reports say captured Russian soldiers are "kids". Is Putin holding back now only to go whole hog later? That doesn't make sense. I cannot believe Putin would show the world he does not have the level of military power everyone thinks he has.

I sure hope he is not dependent on nukes to reach his goals.

Maybe we are just getting propaganda from Ukraine and the U.S. and Russia is really getting the upper hand. Too early to know what is really going down.
