Kerry Cassidy says that Putin now controls Ukraine. And that he is ready to negotiate with Ukraine.

As much as I “identify” as a peace activist, Putin’s overwhelming determination to “de-militarize and de-Nazify Ukraine” appears to have succeeded, and though I cringe at his methods, and wonder how else he could have achieved the same, I do celebrate what appears to be the result.

Karma is a bitch.
