Kyiv will likely fall within days, if not hours, of a full-on Russian attack, with horrific human suffering among innocent Ukrainian civilians casualties could number in the tens of thousands.īut, as the United States has learned to its dismay over the past 20 years, invading a country and toppling its government are entirely different from digesting it-the dog that catches the car then has to figure out what to do with it.
