Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolph Hitler tried that. It didn’t go well

This is Ukraine’s last roll of the dice. Pushing their chips all in.

This war is heading to a conclusion.

We should note too that today top US MSM outlets, voices of the deep state, are now blaming the Nordstream explosion on the Ukrainians and Zelensky, who gave the orders. The word is “scapegoat” and like the proverbial goat, he’s about to be sacrificed.

Napoleon and Hitler tried to conquer Russia. Ukraine isn’t trying to conquer Russia. But it is making a mess of things for Putin.

They tried taking all of Russia. The Ukrainians simply want to inflict enough pain to make Russia withdraw from Ukraine.

Yeah, but Ukraine isn’t marching long distances to invade Russia. It was the winters that destroyed these armies. Ukraine is tough. They live through it year after year.

Nappy didn’t plan it out as well, and Adis was brain addled.

But if you take people who have been fighting the muscowites for centuries, they know how to handle Muscowy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish%E2%80%93Lithuanian_occupation_of_Moscow

however, all of that is moot considering that Ukraine has zero plans to advance that far into Muscowy or even permanently occupy Muscowite territory
