You’re saying Putin KNEW that this war would end up a quagmire? And he started it anyway? I’m sure lots of the families of dead Russian men will find comfort in knowing their dead went to some grandiose plan of the Little Napoleon!

No. I’m saying that he used old equipment because they were losses anyway. They are paid for, so they are no loss when they are destroyed.
Zelensky was using the power of government to oppress Russian ethnics in his country and the world told Putin that they didn’t care if the Russians in Ukraine were genocided.
What would you expect him to do, allow his people to be genocided or come to their defense?
