Or his plan could have been a protracted conflict where he humiliatingly has to withdraw his troops from the main advance on Kiev to the Donbass and decimates his military in the process while tanking his economy. That might have been his initial plan.
You’re really pissing in the wind at this point. Putin is done. He’s fucked up and lost. It’s over. At worst he might be dying and try to take everyone else out at the same time, some men want to see the world burn, but I doubt those around him will allow that
If this wasnt so terrible for so many it would be funny.
How many have died because of this guy, 50,000?
And 9 million displaced.
Thats a war criminal right there.
Lmao, try harder. The party that has been loudest in supporting Ukarine with heavy weapons gained the most votes. Olaf Scholz’s party lost because he’s Russia’s pathetic little cunty bitch.
Say what you will about Tony Blair, but his analysis of Putin and Ukraine is a great insight, since Blair still remembers the western facing Putin who just got into power.
Russian officials this week also insisted commander Osipov was at his ‘combat post’ but ‘not in the mood’ to face the public after Ukraine initially said he had been detained following the Moskva sinking.
Understandable. I probably wouldn’t be in the mood either.
Tony B. has had a few years to reflect on his own slide down the hallucination fueled neocon rabbit hole so who better to explain Vladimir P.’s own slide down the warmonger’s rabbit hole than he?
Blair was brought up in the thread and it is still very relevant to the families hundreds of thousands butchered in Iraq, even with the use of phosphorous as a weapon, just like is being rained down on the Azov Nazi rats hiding in the sewers of Mariopol.
Maybe Vlad thought he could get away with his invasion of Ukraine after he saw what happened to Tony after his invasion of Iraq. Tony was knighted by the Queen, appointed Peace Envoy to the Middle East (cue laugh track), and amassed a fortune of $60,000,000 USD due to several lucrative consulting contracts from major corporations. Vlad’s fatal miscalculation was it’s one thing to bomb the bejeezus out of brown people who look and talk funny in places like Iraq, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Syria, and Yemen and another thing entirely to bomb white Europeans.
