Russian President Vladimir Putin is “furious” that his invasion of Ukraine hasn’t been “easy” after Russian troops have been unable to take even one major city in three days of fighting, according to a member of the European Union Parliament who said he was citing Ukrainian intelligence reports.

“Putin is furious, he thought that the whole war would be easy and everything would be done in 1-4 days,” tweeted Riho Terras, who is also the former defense chief of NATO member Estonia, said in a lengthy thread on Twitter.

Now, he’ll need it to prevent himself from being murdered by his fellow oligarchs.

Pootin fumes——Bidumdum drools-—at least the status quo is solid. No big disruptions. No fake news?

I want to believe this but this hardly seems like a serious source.

Let’s hope a modern-day von Stauffenberg is successful this time.

Exactly.

The narratives write themselves. Who needs evidence and facts?

This sounds an awful lot like the media “itis a quagmire” meme that started immediately after we went into Iraq, and continued until we pulled Saddam from his hidey hole.

The difficulty vindicates Putin’s decision to attack now, since Ukraine was becoming more and more dangerous to Russia and an attack might be impossible in a few years even if Ukraine was not yet a NATO member.

Sounds like they are trying hard to set the scene doesn’t it.

He may be in a place that lends it’s ambiance to it. Who
knows.

Look, the Ukraine may make things difficult for the Russians,
but in time I expect to see Russia gain control. There may
be hell to pay from loyalist strikes going forward though.

I get the idea they are trying to make it look like the
Ukraine will prevent Russia from winning. I like the sound
of that, but I’m not betting on it.

Would love to be proven wrong.

Actually, the Wolf’s Laird was in East Prussia. The Berghof was in the Austrian Alps.
