Russia could flatten Uke in a day if it wanted to. Remember Chechnya? That it has chosen not to is NOT proof it can’t.]

It can’t. Chechnya is a lot smaller, with 1/40 the area and 1/30 the population. And it wasn’t done in a day. That campaign took 9 months, and cost Russia 7,000 dead.

This campaign has already cost Russia that number of dead, and it’s only 3 weeks in. Note that Russia embarked on the Second Chechen War after Putin kicked off a false flag series of apartment bombings in Moscow, thereby giving himself a solid base of support among the Russian public for the sacrifices to come.

Whereas the “special mission” in Ukraine, from the start, has been widely panned by Putin-friendly oligarchs and street protestors alike.

Uke / US / NATO claims are as verifiable and believable as those coming out of the Kremlin. It is all propaganda.

You say 7,000 dead russian soldiers? Maybe, but in the day where literally everyone has a cell phone camera and working internet [which Uke does], and in the absence of an avalanche of unique photos and videos, I’d say that is as likely as a congressman getting spit on and called a n*g**r while walking to vote for obamacare. [No-one claimed the $1,000,000 bounty for proof of that one!]

Putin’s poll numbers have gone up 10% since this operation started. Sounds like the Russian ppl support this. IJS...
