"Putin has already lost. Putin is no longer a force in the world. Whatever he may think he’s won today, he is lost in the long run. His legacy is now one of loss.
He will be remembered as a man who demonstrated that his armed forces were not invincible and were, in fact, badly equipped.
He will be remembered by Russian mothers as a man who sent needlessly to their death thousands of young Russian men, he will be remembered as a man who instead of furthering Russia in the world has made it more isolated.
And he will probably live out his days being invited to the North Korean annual celebration.
I think, on one level, the world won’t have to fear Putin any more. He’s not a force of power."
