Snyder seems to have captured some truth. We can't know why Russia seems determined to harm Ukraine and to sacrifice so many young men in that objective. If Snyder is right the entire war seems a pointless waste. Putin knows he cannot control Ukraine as long as Ukraine has the resources to fight. Surprised that the Russia peoples are not becoming angry as the waste.
