Putin is suffering 'legitimate humiliation' after misjudging the West's willingness to get involved in Ukraine war, Russia expert says

When Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an unprovoked war against Ukraine nearly seven months ago, he significantly underestimated the willingness of Western governments to become involved in the conflict between two Soviet neighbors, an expert on Russia told Insider.

...

Experts told Insider's John Haltiwanger that Russia's strategic defeat throughout the war thus far has "dramatically" altered perceptions of Russia's military strength and may ultimately put Putin's regime in jeopardy.

"All of this is pretty humiliating for Putin, as it should be," Miles said. "This is legitimate humiliation on the world stage."

Didn’t President Trump send weapons to Ukraine before he was cheated out of a second term?

Aaron Maté Twitter 9/17/22 "Were you "traumatized" by US "failures" in Afghanistan & Iraq? Luckily, retired US diplomat Daniel Fried of the Atlantic Council has a path to healing: the Ukraine proxy war." For "traumatized" warmongers like Fried, Ukraine "is a situation where an actual success is possible." Aaron Maté, continued: "@AmbDanFried says that those "traumatized" by US "failures" in Afghanistan and Iraq can take solace in the Ukraine proxy war. Do those traumatized people include the millions of Afghans & Iraqis invaded by the US, or the tens of thousands of US veterans who fought in these wars?"

Ukraine “is a situation where an actual success is possible.”

Sounds like you have finally realized RuZZia is going to lose.

Welcome aboard!

This is similar to the reading of chicken entrails and tea leaves, to predict the future of the course of events connected to the Russian-Ukraine conflict. There are still many unpredictable facets that can deflect the narrative one way or the other.

Not the least of which is the continuing interest on a personal level that the Joe Stolen/”Que mala” Harris regime have in the fortunes of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. He knows where the bodies are buried.

Modi chides Putin on the world stage, and Xi warns Putin off of Kazakhstan.

R@FB

Rachel Maddow, is that you?

You can’t be conservative and support Zeleneky because Zel is tied at the hip with Pelodi, Schiff, Soros, WEF, Klaus, etc. You have to support neither Zel or Putin or you are a neocon cheerleaing an open proxy war.

Putin won’t go outside of Ukraine because its direct war with Ukraine then, Ukraine’s borders aren’t our problem, we’re $30 trillion in debt, we need to focus on defeating Biden and Dems in the upcoming election, and mission creep is occurring in Ukraine now concerning U.S. support.

Or do you want to help Biden?

What Putin may not have known was the degree to which Biden and the rat of the rats would exploit it. They have used it to blame all the inflation on. The rats have turned into a massive money laundering operation among other things.

I may become a self proclaimed “expert” myself some day.

Anybody know what that job pays?

Yes Trump did that.
He tried to alert everyone about the dangers of Russia becoming a neo-soviet warmongering state. But no one listen to him!!
That’s why he did what Obama didn’t dare to do.. sending massive amounts of weapons to Ukraine so it could defend itself.
Trump saw it all well in advance, a visionary man.

No, a neocon like you and he is on board, I wasn’t responding to you, but you were triggered obviously and quick to continue promoting falsehoods the libtard MSM peddles, as is your proclivity..

You can’t be on board and be a trie conservativevat FR and this tru5h needs to be driven home per the folliwing:

You can’t be conservative and support Zeleneky because Zel is tied at the hip with Pelodi, Schiff, Soros, WEF, Klaus, etc. You have to support neither Zel or Putin or you are a neocon cheerleaing an open proxy war.

Putin won’t go outside of Ukraine because its direct war with Ukraine then, Ukraine’s borders aren’t our problem, we’re $30 trillion in debt, we need to focus on defeating Biden and Dems in the upcoming election, and mission creep is occurring in Ukraine now concerning U.S. support.

Or do you want to help Biden?

A show of hands on a vanity thread in the recent past had a hige # of responses and the overwhelming majority here not in favor of backing Zel but wanting out of this.

You’re in the clear minority here.
