the Russians made this up from whole cloth to make themselves look brilliant.

Of course. Putin is a well-known genius - just look at how he has begun to resurrect the Soviet Union, masterfully handled: the cost of the rubble fell from 81 to the dollar to 104, meat wave assaults for 758,000 casualties for incremental gains over 4 years in a war he began, destruction of 90% of the old Soviet military equipment - leaving troops almost no armor.
Brilliance beyond compare! Pure genius! Masterful!
I am very worried for you. You need to start making plans for your future activities. President Trump is taking office on January 20. He plans on ending the Ukrainian boondoggle shortly after this. What are you going to do with yourself after that happens? Are you looking for other situations where your style of whacky war mongering will keep your spirits up? I would hate to think that your wife would try to force you to do something constructive.
