    If military superiority were measured in size, Putin could’ve had his two day war. Alas, they have only displayed inferiority which continues to damage Russia’s economy, population, and global reputation, despite Ukrainian boots remaining at home. It seems Putin has finally looked further down the timeline and realised his forces are incapable of taking Ukraine, let alone the strenuous task of occupying a very resistive nation.

        They can’t show you. Because he never said that and Russia never expected that. These geniuses don’t understand the concept of attrition and apparently think Putin doesn’t either. But that won’t stop them from just making shit up that sounds nice to them, especially if it helps them cope with the reality that their team Ukraine is losing bad and has no chance of ever getting back the territories it was so fond of shelling even before Russia got there.

        I knew this already of course, but reading through this thread has been a great reminder that NATO bootlickers will just make up whatever shit they want that fits the narrative that they like to believe, and they will just run with it. Even when the exact opposite is true and they are obviously 100% projecting, like saying it was Russia that broke agreements that literally anyone can check to see that NATO country leaders admitted to breaking. It’s so wild to me how much these lemitors will screech about Russian propaganda but then turn around and happily drink deep from the US state department propaganda water fountain… and then ask for a firehose instead.
