latest state on the ground
“Three months ago, Mr. Putin’s own strategic objective was to take all of Ukraine — a task he thought he could accomplish in mere days.”
...and the NY Times bases that ‘fact’ on what, exactly?
The New York Times employs a crack team of mind readers and witch doctors to figure out the thoughts inside the heads of other people.
That is what they mean when they use phrases like “experts say”....
That’s not just the new York times,
But Putin’s own statements, putin sending the elite paratroopers yo capture Kyiv and failing, and Putin sending hundreds of tanks to capture Kyiv.
And failing.
Your President Putin has failed multiple times during his failed invasion of Ukraine
#4. On the operational plans captured from Russian forces within the first week of the invasion. Russia’s original plan was to capture the entire country in fifteen days by attacking on four fronts and capturing all major cities including Kyiv. The rest of the operation would be mop up. The President of Belarus also showed the Russian invasion map on state television, confirming this.
So you don’t have a link either regarding the claim that Putin planned to take Kiev with 40,000 troops. Just speculation...
“On the operational plans captured from Russian forces within the first week of the invasion.”
Let me guess, the Ghost of Kiev obtained them.
“Your President Putin”
Ah—so did you read my mind as well?
Did you reach that amazing insight with remote viewing or a ouija board or maybe a dowsing stick?
One of the duties of the CIA’s disinformation directorate is to issue fake Russian plans to anyone dumb enough to believe them.
“One of the duties of the CIA’s disinformation directorate is to issue fake Russian plans to anyone dumb enough to believe them.”
What’s tough to believe is that people on our side are PROVING the Democrats right in that we’re the idiots.
The Ghost of Kiev obtained them, and while he wasn't looking, the Goats of Kiev ate the plans.
Oh stop your lies. They didn’t have a 20 mile convoy outside Kiev as a diversion.
Many many years go, the Germans got hold of operational plans for the invasion of Fortress Europe from a dead body that washed up on a beach...
If a dictat6 sends
1. Elite paratroopers to capture its targets capital
2. 40,000 troops (as you said) to capture the country’s capital
Any sane person would see that the dictator was trying to capture that capital city.
Your mind said “My, cgbg, President Putin “??
Interesting
“Oh stop your lies. They didn’t have a 20 mile convoy outside Kiev as a diversion.”
Tell that to your Azov friends who found themselves TRAPPED in Mariupol in the first week. No one from Kiev was available to help them. Now they’re cooling their heels in DPR’s prisons, wondering if getting those tattoos was a really a good idea.
We do not know what the Russian strategy was and is.
That is the fact.
Any claims to the contrary are just blatant propaganda.
