I think one of the first issues is we called it a coup. Was it? It feels the same as calling Jan 6 a coup or insurrection vs. a bumbling weirdness where all of the people accused of trying to overthrow the government walked out on their own and never made a claim of trying to foment a coup (either Jan 6 or Russia)

Even worse is this from the article: "In what universe does a person who sacks a Russian city"

Met with flowers, left with not a shot..... and did not sack anything

sacked; sacking; sacks

transitive verb

1: to plunder (a place, such as a town) especially after capture

2: to strip of valuables : LOOT
