Conflicted Ambitions – Russian Leader Attempts to Recalibrate Efforts of Russian Ambitions

In an apparent attempt to mitigate some loss of face in not being able to quash the Ukraine and adjacent regions as quickly as it may have been deciphered in the planning stages, the Russian leader now blames the United States and doubles down on the self-imagined cause and effect of poor judgement in believing his own lies that somehow his version of the situation of the killing of innocents in the Ukraine is justified by those lies.
Make no mistake, the observer's opinion of the current governance of the United States is flawed due to the criminal conduct of certain offenders in the governmental stratum, but the Russian's own delusional ambitions of empire are indeed, his own to own; that using such things as an excuse to destroy that which does not fit his perception of life and pursuits of those ambitions that are devastating to countless faces he cares so little for; it is his own fault it's not working. The problem now is that others must bear the resultant costs, even if they become nuclear when he finds out he cannot stop.
