"We have no other options" and him shrugging honestly made me laugh. What a bizarre situation. He has Putin breathe down his neck.

- You can really feel the "well, fuck" mood in his attitude
  
  You can see that in his mind it's lost already but he can't say it without going bye bye

- That's how I read it, too. Putin won't allow the military to withdraw, even if everyone on the ground knows that that would be the only sensible option. For everyone. (Except Putin, maybe, although even he could give it a positive spin if he wanted to.)

  Wouldn't Russia shatter if they were fully defeated by Ukraine? I mean, if they withdraw, Ukraine won't stop before they get Crimea back, and that would be a resounding defeat for the "second army of the world". Considering how nationalistic Russia became, how would it survive such a defeat?

  Can you cite some studies for this, please? Preferably reproduced, peer reviewed ones?
  
  I don't mean to be mean, but I have heard things like this and from everything I have been able to gather, there's no evidence for being able to tell how someone is thinking just from their movements or tics.
