“Michael Bohnert, an analyst at RAND Corporation, told BI that with the way Russian President Vladimir Putin has responded, not even appointing a general to take charge of what is clearly a military situation rather than a domestic security matter, “there is, I think, an element of he doesn’t want to make anything where any general could claim credit for being the victor.”
Putin has positioned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as a “Special Operation”, not a declared war. Perhaps his use of FSB is part of characterizing the Kursk incursion as an internal security matter, as if the Ukrainians are just on a crime spree requiring a “Police Action”.
Donbas in 3 days!
Strategically I think it is a stupid move to invade Russian territory. They are supposed to be defending themselves. I think also that they are in Russia to make justification for using our missiles to attack targets inside of Russia. Being in Russia makes it more likely. I wonder how many of our expensive battle tanks are in Russia right now and how quickly they can get them back out. Maybe they will lose a few and Russia and China will take them apart and learn any secrets they might contain.
Wrong!
I’m on the ping list.
Prove that I’m a Russian Terror Supporter!
Constantly making up lies about patriotic MAGA FReepers, is all you pathetic little zeepers have.
Good God, your OP zeeper poster boi, is a complete retard, who posts about Putins many, many cancer deaths and the cost of eggs in Russia.😅😅😅
Like saying the war will end October 1st?
Here we go again. Putin is both the greatest threat to humanity AND weak.🙄🙄🤡🤡
Ukie Solders retreat? Say it ain’t so.
LOL.
The GlobalHomo is putting on a show for Pootie Poo.
There was a lot of bad intelligence leading to the war. Also, the MIC didn’t really want to explore the truth. If Russia turned out to be a paper tiger, we wouldn’t be spending too much on our military. Just on our navy and some nukes. We’ll be able to cut our military by 50%.
Our navy had best been paying attention...
