Yeah that's one of my all-time favorites high-key turns into a comedy when the media/police circus picks up

Yeah I feel awful for my Russian buddy here in the US. Not only is his fam back home getting financially crushed but he’s afraid of getting jumped or w/e cause his name is super Russian

i mean nah

i remember people clamoring for an NFZ in syria, never happened

This isn't just a regular person but the president of the opponent army

mkes you think that the ukrainians just need to last as long as they can and the russians are in a bit of trouble

still likely to meet objectives just at serious cost and potential internal dissent

he's asking for it knowing he wont receive it

he needs to be seen to be asking for the best possible thing that ukrainians perceive as in their interests

But Kubrick nabs Sjostrom in the The Shining

Folks literally had to go take down Confederate Officer statues after they stood for 150 years but they erasing Russia from the culture in less than a week lol

That was also stupid, but in Syria they communicated to avoid confrontation, the expressed purpose of a NFZ wasn't to shoot down aircrafts of another nuclear power, unlike here, don't be disingenuous

well if 90% of the troops are already in Ukraine and they are launching a counter attack Putin will need to send additional troops and gear he did not plan

so I guess it's going good

Nazi Germany took France in six weeks and Poland in a month with relatively minimal obstruction

Idk where putin got the idea that this would be done in 12 days

Wasting time by making unreasonable demands and provoking Russia further isn't good policy no matter how much you guys cope about this clown being a 4D geopolitical game theory chess master

Neither was announcing last year that they would invade Crimea

Who said that Putin ever thought that tho

Cause he's obviously lost his marbles

He might have parkinsons, or steroid induced personality changes

And also the fact his inner circle is comprised entirely of yes men

Sending troops with only 2 day food supplies, if true, belies the fact the Russians thought it would be easy

Does he tho

Anyone here seen The Putin interviews?

That doesn't mean much when they were 60, 70km from the Russian border at most

Performative

There were claims that he had expected a 12 day campaign
