Putin has said they have no interest in governing Ukrainians, so why should he want to take over more of Ukraine unless if he’s forced to?

do you fall for conspiracy theories much lol

Slinging the term "conspiracy theories" around on FR pretty much marks you as a plant or a "glowie".

You ARE a Re-Animator, so there's that.

Just like Hitler ordering Steiner to counterattack and save Berlin.

“ WEAK propaganda...”

Okay, so why do you think Ruzzia didn’t win this war in ten days like most everyone (myself included) expected them to do?

Well, duhhh… see comment 21 above. Not everyone is as stupid or as gullible as you seem to be. Stupid and gullible is not a good way to go through life, IMHO.

“putin is a known liar”

Maybe. But so far he’s captured only the territories where which contained high percent of those with Russian culture and language.

I’m sure he’ll eventually take over other parts of Ukraine eventually. Probably this winter.

I wrote: "I was appalled at first"

Then I realized that I wasn't going to change the minds of the pro-Death FR neoconned cheerleaders.

I further realized that the FR pro-Death faction wasn't interested in the true number of Ukrainian deaths and maimings - but spent their time lying about the number of Russian "deaths", and posting snuff videos of Ukrainians killing Russians.

So, I got over being appalled, and am looking forward to the reaction when the true Ukrainian death numbers come out, in the end.

Just like Saddam, H and Mussolini

Attempting to rebuild a lost empire
Targeted murder of civilian populations and destruction of cities
Believes in fantasies
Bombastic public image and behavior
Secluded and evasive
Grandiose Strategic incompetence
Complete Nut Job

You missed the boat. More than once.

Why did Prigozhin go after Putin?

He wanted harsher treatment of Ukrainians, A key issue.
He felt Russia could have just grazed the cities and been done. Like they did Grozny.
Russia doesn’t see Ukrainian people as enemies, and only wanted to kill nazis. And that is what they did.
When Russia bombed a cultural building,for instance, and there were bodies, those were Nazi bodies and heh, once even a few European nazis, holding a meeting.

There are you tube videos from Gonzalo Lira on you tube showing Ukrainians and cities just after Russia bombed.
Cell towers, water, electricity all left intact.
In some cases fliers were dropped before hand.

You also apparently didn’t watch any of Putin’s speeches...more fun to post here from Western ignorance and war propaganda, I guess.

If you had bothered to investigate both sides, you wouldn’t be asking these questions.
You and your keeper friends continually show your ignorance here. I, for one, tire of trying to educate you.

It saddens me to see such ignorance and inability to explore and learn, but at least you (like most of your brethren zeepers) are not American.

Thank you. This is how you can tell that the seekers here didn't bother to look past CNN or the equivalent in their many foreign countries. They probably still believe that the Iraqui army threw Kuwaiti infants from their incubators onto the floor. Must

Analysts have said that the Russia expected to finish off its invasion of Ukraine within a week-and-a-half, making sweeping gains in the initial days of the invasion that started on February 24, 2022. But this failed to materialize in the face of what experts have called Ukrainian defiance that took the Kremlin by surprise.”

The ONLY analysts who pushed ( and continue to push) this “ 3 days to conquer Kiev” story….were our own Pentagon and military think tanks. ( I suspect the CIA knew better). This is the same clown car of experts that predicted Russia would run out of missiles in weeks, fall to its knees from economic sanctions, and bury Vladimir Putin due to a fatal illness.

Lol…they claimed Russia sent a limited “invasion” force to conquer Kiev ( with 3 times the Russian troop strength) …

then when Russia pulled back its armor and troops ( having achieved the limited objectives of securing Chernobyl, Zaporozhye NPP, the US funded biolabs, and displaying a fixing force that made Kiev keep troops at its capital and in the north rather than sending them to reinforce the real front in Eastern Ukraine and Crimea)…this same analyst clown cabal declared that because Russia didn’t capture Kiev in 3 days…..Ukraine won the Battle of Kiev ( which never occurred)

Our own embarrassing CJCS Milley still propagates this line, but then, after his dismal duty performance, he has no credibility to lose
