The outset of Vladimir Putin’s full-scale war in Ukraine exposed Russia’s ground forces as incompetently led and beholden to a tyrant in thrall to his own arrogance and neoimperial ambitions. The ensuing stalemate, now well into its third year, has been a strategic calamity for Moscow.

Wat?

I guess they can't just admit that they've been peddling bullshit for the past two years.

I don’t know Hockstader—maybe he really drinks the Kool Aid—but either way, to stray from the party line is career limiting and may not get past WaPo’s editors.
