Shoigu added that Russia could achieve its military goals with “consistent implementation of the measures in the action until 2025.”
Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin and allies like Shoigu have repeatedly stressed the need to keep Ukraine inside Russia’s sphere of influence, and to defeat what they describe as Ukraine’s “Nazi regime”.
I was told by some mouth foaming Putin fan on the other site that when the tanks were running out of fuel and breaking down on the road in the early days that it was all part of the plan. Yup, all part of the plan. Sigh. Turns out it wasn’t and here we are.
At some point, we have to take the toys away from the children. No more war.
agreed, stop giving the children (ukraine) toys (“game-changing” western equipment that doesn’t change the outcome of the conflict)
lemmygrad again what a surprise…
You’re actually right, they won’t change the outcome.
It’ll just make the Ukrainian victory quicker than it would have been without the equipment.
Repeating fantasies over and over doesn’t make them materialize, Ukraine can’t win a war of attrition against Russia.
And yet you keep repeating the fantasy of letting Russia win
It’s not “letting”, there are no other choices other than to accept that Ukraine can’t win or spiral down into further delusion.
