On the day Russia invaded Ukraine, some high-ranking members of the U.S. intelligence community

made a prediction.

Speaking anonymously, they told reporters that Kiev Ukraine's capital would fall within

a few days, 96 hours to be precise.

It did not happen.

I think from a Russian perspective, what we have here is a war that has gone off the rails.

Russian troops are stuck in the mud, they're frostbite, they're sending panic texts to their

parents back home.

From the Ukrainian perspective, what we have is vindication, a demonstration of how a

resolute population rises to the occasion, and frankly, overturns all the expectations of

the experts who said that this was going to be a very short war that the Russians were

going to win very quickly.

And today explained a retired U.S. Army colonel tells us what happens when it seems like

neither side can win a war.
