    Putin thought he could defeat Ukraine in three days, and the result is two years and plus of war, tens of thousands of casualties that he will admit to, and US-made weapons now being fired into Russia. I don’t see him being the kind of 4D Chessmaster you seem to think he is.

      The three day victory bullshit story is so boring, you guys repeat it ad nauseum. Get better talking points.

      And it’s so funny since it was the US/ Nato that mentioned the three day bullshit story. There’s not one record of Putin or any Russian official even saying such a thing.

      Lmao you guys are pathetic

        It was a wrongly attributed quote from Lukashenko. But wanting to topple the duly elected Ukrainian government using some bullshit excuse was definitely a correct quote.

        Long, drawn out siege warfare was even a stereotypical strategy of Soviet generals. This is precisely how Russia has been waging war in Ukraine.

          Exactly that. They’re achieving their goal by careful and thorough advancement.

          The priority is liberating the Russian part of the Ukraine from the Zelensky dictatorship and his neo nazis. Why would Russia want to occupy western Ukraine? It will just be a nazi filled mess to govern and be targeted. That’s how i see it. I’m sure I’m way off on certain things lol.

          But these losers will say that Russia is losing because they can’t make it to Kiev, or some such nonsense.
