Putin may yet outsmart the WestReader comment on item: Putin's Invasion Scrambles the West Submitted by Dave (United States), Apr 1, 2022 at 20:51 While reflecting on the latest developments in Ukraine, it could be that Putin is moving to a very clever Plan B. Plan A was a direct invasion, but that has run into some difficulties, especially in terms of high Russian casualties. That's bad for Putin: Lots of body bags could lead to popular unrest and threaten his regime. Ergo, he is pulling back to try and avoid that dire fate.
