you're a retard Gary and you have imbibed far too much russian propaganda.

Putin invaded Ukraine because his ratings were saggier than his polonium filled ballsack.

he thought he could do a crimea 2, a little annexation that made him a hero and that he got away with scott free.

his toadie advisors told him it would only take 3 days and look where we are.

the official russian narrative on what the goal is/was changes on an almost weekly basis. it's fucking pathetic.

Yiu think there's some big brain 4d chess going on, there's not. Putin has taken the piss for far too long , has made an absolute joke of russian democracy and has now obliterated the sovereign wealth fund and doomed russians economy for probably at least a decade. oh and he's made Russia a vassal of China.

missiles have been hitting Belgorod for over a year already, Putin's red lines are a joke , as is he and the rotton, corrupt russian army .

Russia Inst hammering shit, it's just sending hundreds of thousands of troops into meat waves.

Ukraine actually controls part of Belgorod region for over a month already and the Russian army can't even dislodge them.
