I adore admitting that I am wrong. Today, I get to say it again.

I was wrong about Putin.
I saw him as an extremely shrewd, nimble, and intelligent leader who will do what he thinks is best for Russia.

Therefore, I didn't think he'd attack Ukraine because it's too big of a gamble.
I was wrong.

Putin is way smarter than me, so maybe it'll work out for Russia, but that seems farfetched.
But completely invading Ukraine also seemed farfetched.
Donald Trump winning the 2016 election certainly appeared farfetched.

I analyze Ukraine in 2022.
