This is the Mark Simone show.

Mr. New York.

On 710 W.O.R.

Oh, there's lots to get to this hour.

So Putin has real problems.

You're not just with the Ukraine and fighting them.

You know, he doesn't have enough troops to keep this war going.

Ukraine actually went on the offensive against Russia. And you can do that, but you've got to

really maintain that supply line, and that's not easy to, but they've been doing it.

Ukraine and Zelensky, they've been doing it.

Putin is in real trouble.

He's short of troops.

He needs 300,000 more troops, so he's calling up retirees, starting a draft,

needs 300,000 more troops. So now he needs even more because apparently Putin now has to send tons of

troops to the border. Nothing to do with Ukraine, just the Russian border because Russians are all

fleeing to get out of the country. They don't want to be

called into this disastrous army. Joe Bartlett, did you ever think you'd see this happen that

Putin on the run, on the ropes, not knowing what to do? That is kind of wild, but you know,

we don't want to get him too desperate because he still has his finger on that nuclear button.

You know, I know everybody says that, but all we thought is this guy's got the most powerful army in the world.

He used to watch the march in the square in front of the Kremlin with the white tanks and the gleaming and the precision marchings.

What an army this guy's.
