Ukraine destroys Russian tank column


What's odd about Putin's invasion of Ukraine is how little he apparently understands the history of his own country, like the French invasion of Russia in 1812---he hasn't read War and Peace?---and the German invasion of Russia in 1941. 

Both Napoleon and Hitler underestimated Russia, much like Putin has underestimated Ukraine.

Later: I should also have cited Stalin's crazy war with Finland in days of yore.
