Russia Ukraine war, page-177533

He is the obedient proxy selected by Kiev and Washington to do US bidding. This is much larger than the simplistic patriotism you are painting. A lot can he analysed as to why he backflip on the Turkey sponsored deal after the Bojo visit. Somehow I think Bojo is just the messenger.

If you are going to start throwing rubber labels of war criminal, the discussion will get nowhere.

From a military perspective, have you ever wondered why under the decimation of AFU numbers and even you must accept that they are huge regardless of whatever the MSM tries to play down, RF are still only using clinical targeting of military assets compared to AFU publicity stunts. I would have thought in war the idea is when you see a weakened foe, you go straight for the jugular (invade Kiev) instead of creating opportunities to trap the enemy into a bloodbath? Notice those 300K reserverists in RF & Belarus are still sitting tight, very odd don't you think?

It just smells like Putin wasn't bluffing or disguising his reasons to use SMO to launch the conflict which among the military analysts at he start was just very inferior numbers to win. Demilitarising in progress and surprisingly highlighted not only AFU but NATO too! Not sure how Putin intends to denazify which is more a mindset which does not necessary materialise into physical evidence like a permanent nazi tat.

Do you prefer a dead hero or a pragmatist?
