What we have had confirmed tonight is that the man who controls the world's largest nuclear arsenal is without conscience, without respect for international law, without scruples, without mercy. He also is neither as strong nor as smart as he thinks.
Neither the world nor his neighbors nor his citizens will ever look at him the same way again. Whether they succeed or fail in the short term, the costs in the medium to longer term of this disastrous, reckless and indefensible attack will be immense.
I do not doubt for a moment that this is the beginning of the end of Vladimir Putin.
(I do not for a moment however, wish to minimize how costly that downfall is likely to be.)
