My $0.02: Putin Is About To Get Desperate, And That's Not Good

I have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm not a student of Putin. I'm a somewhat-more-well-informed-than-average American. But it seems hard for me to believe that Putin can accept a defeat in Ukraine. According to the people I've been reading, he's largely motivated by an obsession with Russia being recognized as a great power. A defeat in Ukraine would be the end of that. Or so it seems to me.

   I wonder whether the worst outcome for the world is a Ukraine win? 

   Nevertheless, I want to give them all our Stingers and Javelins...and maybe more than that...
