Yeah, another woman leader is exactly what a Western-aspirant nation needs.

I'm still convinced that one of the reasons this war appears so "weird" to Americans is that the Russians, led by Putin (who is a serious student of history), are fighting an updated version of an 18th century style of warfare sometimes known as kabinettskreig, strategically and politically, with an army geared for that kind of warfare on its borders, and Americans have never fought that kind of war, nor understand it.

Americans have fought civil wars and expeditionary wars, not continental wars, and do not understand them in the slightest.
