Excellent article written by the Polish PM on the situation in Ukraine and how time after time after time, the powerful countries of the world and the EU have been 100% wrong about Putin and how to deal with him.

The warnings had been given and nobody listen. Putin literally doing whatever he wants without any sort of indications of stopping.
His care factor for his people, his solders, and human life as a whole is that of a piece of lint in your belly button. A non factor.
He doesn't have an end game in my opinion and can't resort to going back to normal life and times for himself, his family or his legacy. This is a game of poker or whatever to him and others think that it will come down to him winning or losing the game. He is going all in on this in a lot of ways but we have a segment of the worlds leaders, normal people and others who don't think he might just be a sore loser and cause some incredible global destruction on his way out.
Who really knows what will happen with this nuclear plant situation, the war in general or how Putin reacts. All the intelligence and reporting that has come out in recent days shows an insane level of mystification at this as Putin used to be rationale, pragmatic, calculated, level headed and more. Those days are done.
I really do think we will get to the point where the global community and the powers at be will be forced to make a decision on him and his leadership. Some disagree but these are also the type of people who thought that the sanctions would have had a massive effect on Russia by now, that the elite Russian's would have forced Putin to stop. Everything the west has done appears to be reactionary in dealing with him and we don't have a solid track record on this. If and when we get to the stage, will people look back and wonder why this wasn't stopped earlier? Like some of the Washington Post reporting that came along. We had Biden and Macron from France trying to appease this guy with diplomacy and he was worried that he missed his workout from that day and was enroute to play hockey and laughed it off.
Wild times we are living in 100%
