Russia Ukraine war, page-967

To all the Putin second guessers, to all the keyboard generals and arm chair pundits, learn the lesson of today.

Russians plan deeply. They exude patience. They understand logistics and build what they will need.
They time their actions to complete advantage.

Putin has a genius IQ, scholarly knowledge, insightful psychology, and leads a nation of brilliant minds.

He has been building strength, military superiority of weapons and defenses, economic flexibility, domestic unity and international admiration.

Russia was ready to do this now, not any sooner.

Note well, the Russians have not had to shoot their way into Donbass or defend themselves any where as they enter. Whether this holds or the Ukies try to draw blood, the plan is designed to cost the fewest soldiers.

Part of the calculation of this European crisis (as the West terms it) is higher prices for oil and gas. The profit bonanza pays for the cost of the Russian plan. In other words, the US and EU are paying for what Putin is doing.

Genius!
