Putin imagined 3 days to take Kyiv and 3 weeks to rule Ukraine.
That didn’t happen and everything since then has gone badly for him. He doesn’t have options to achieve what he set out to do. He is in retreat just lashing out inefficiently trying to just kill Ukrainians because he is an a-hole, but no step ever closer to not losing the war.
A lot of people are very disappointed because Russia revealed they’re just a dumb shithole.
Yes Putin is bad, also equally as bad is Zelinsky, rooting for either of them is an inherent evil.
Both have created a war sink that only serves to kill common people at large rates and consume the worlds economies.
Also anyone who claims to know Russia’s initial plans and thinks they meant to have this over in just a few weeks demonstrates a complete lack of historical and cultural knowledge of Russia. Their warfare has always bene long term “grindage.” It is shallow thinking to continue to assume western warfare somehow dictates how Russia warfare is executed.
The sooner we stop supporting Zelinksy and just let this run it’s course the better.
There is no difference whether the country is managed by Russia or Zelinsky, it is just a brand of tyrannical leadership of preference, we have no business supporting either. In this instance let evil consume evil, it will result in fewer dead innocents.
Take some time and see how Zelinsky was actually running the country, if you were are Christian it is a very bad thing for you there. Again I do not support Putin but arguably Christians are less persecuted in Russia than in Ukraine.
And as a sample of evidence how bad Zelinsky is here is a quote from Newsweek of all places!
“Yet a closer look at life in Zelensky’s Ukraine reveals that it is not the paragon of democracy and Western values that everyone seems to think it is. Ukraine is a deeply corrupt country with wealthy oligarchs playing the same role there as they do in Putin’s Russia. Using the war as an excuse, Zelensky has banned his political opposition and shut down all media not controlled by his regime”

I keep seeing this. Do you have a link showing where Putin said it.
