“Leaked Phone Call Reveals Rage Among Russia’s Elites”
Yep, the biggest complaint is that Putin is taking his time. They’d probably prefer Medvedev, who will simply flatten Ukraine and be done with it. It should be noted that this call was between TWO PEOPLE, even though the headline implies a group call (typical Western propaganda).
But it is understandable, given that its been a year, but one thing to keep in mind is that Putin’s inner circle have far more information from which to develop their strategy than people on the outside, so it is very possible that Putin is effectively cleaning out the inventories of the West and will finish the job in the sweet spot (roughly a year from now), when Western production finally starts ramping up significantly (I hear from a DOD contractor buddy that finding Drag Queens to work at defense plants isn’t as easy as it sounds, so hiring is taking longer than expected).
We shall see what happens...
