    Are we to trust any Russian to tell us the truth? If you believe any of it, I’ve got a Kremlin to sell you.

    Treachery from the political leadership wouldn’t surprise me at all, but I’d say it’s equally likely that the Russian military is incompetent from top to bottom.

  3. This sounds like bs. I’d definitely believe there *are* players profitting off the war and keeping it going, to degrees, but to claim this was the plan all along?? Sounds like something made up after the fact of how bad it’s all gone. They absolutely *wanted* victory and have so far failed.

    This also plays into the same cadence of “Russia is still holding back it’s best forces!” Like, they *could’ve* won but just decided not to, trust me!

    Russia has lost generals, some of their most experienced soldiers, billions upon billions in military equipment in tanks, jets, AA, helicopters, they’ve lost goddamn *submarines.* Not to mention potential money lost due to some of the worst sanctions on the planet. Lost trade, lost manufacturing. Was selling their oil to India/China at laughably low prices also part of the plan?

    This guy talking out his ass.

    Agree with the title, though the reasoning is very word salady… Nemtsov was always right about the cunt he knew too well, so was Bill Browder… Their assessment for the reasons behind the war are still the most accurate: distract the sheeple from actual problems in the country( while you are robbing her blind, buying properties abroad, and sending your kids to study over there) by creating the enemy, make the sheeple hate the enemy, and send the sheeple to kill the enemy, while staying in power for the duration of this fuckery… This mafia regime always needed a war, hopefully this time they will choke on this one…

    I’d never thought of it like this, and don’t necessarily agree but an idea could be that it’s profit, distraction etc

    My own personal thought if it IS being intentionally lost? A Stalinist purge- committed by someone else. Everyone you’ve ever wanted rid of, sent off to be destroyed by others.

    Welcome to Putin’s class society.

    When Russia was doing well Putin gave you vodka, not prosperity.

    Now Russia is doing poorly Putin gives you death, not guidance.

    The Freedom of Russia Legion is always recruiting folks that are unhappy with current management

  8. coping russian…

    “we would be victorious – if our own government didnt wanted us to just die”… aha.

  9. Delusional!
    Everyone needs to cope with reality; some are just more creative than others.

    Their goal was definitely to get a quick victory but that failed. It’s a small consolation to them that they get to rid their county from their perceived undesirables but this war is in no way going to plan. This is just some major cope from someone who doesn’t want to admit that Russia is a weak, corrupt shithole.

  11. Another ethnic Russian with mindset from the 13 century. I am from the North Caucasus, I see this morons every day.
