“Sure. Putin thought he could roll over Kiev in three days, “
No Russian leader anywhere ever said that. That came from out analysis from our Pentagram “experts” who would have bombed Kiev, hit the presidential house, dropped every bridge and train, etc.
I know it escapes you, but it started as a limited military operation to back the nazis out of the Donbass, open the land bridge to Crimea, enforce no NATO, and denazify the Uke government.
Bullskitsky.
Putin NEVER would have started this war if he didn’t think it would be a cakewalk. He arrested and imprisoned his intelligence chief who told him he had agents in Kiev, and that the Russians would be welcomed as liberators.
The Russians sent in paratroopers to seize Kiev Airport. They were supposed to seize the airport and then Russian military transports would fly in and arrest Zelinsky and the broadcast facilities and give orders to the Ukrainian Army to surrender.
Only the paratroopers were slaughtered at the airport and the transports never came. Colonel McGregor’s “thermobaric” artillery never destroyed the Ukrainians.
Putin got [jobbed] by his arrogance and ignorance and he knows it.
You're right there. It was Milley who said three days.
Putin himself said two weeks.
