NO, NO......that was all part of Putin's plan. ********It seems pretty ridiculous to suggest the Ukraine invasion hasn't been a disaster for Russia, considering how it was supposed to be over in a few weeks and is instead bogged down for years, AND it scared Finland and Sweden into joining NATO
So Putin planned it this way did he? Y'all really don't get just how insane you sound do you?Don’t waste your time with the double masker. He’s a damn fool.
How is "the west weak"? Ukranie is giving Russia all it can handle with Our old weapon stock and us tieing their hands by not letting them use our old weapons to attack Russian territory.Russia really is a wild card. Do they kick in now while the west is weak? Or do they wait until after the election because doing so may help the wests remain weak?
Putin thought he could take Ukraine like his did Crimea. FAst enough that Logistics would not be an issue.I'll say this: There WAS a time I thought Putin knew what he was doing and was playing chess. The Ukraine fiasco proved I was laughably wrong.
With the US joining.That, and I think they go after the nuclear facilities.
Russia wouldn't be in Ukraine and Israel wouldn't be fighting a war on three fronts if the west wasn't weak.How is "the west weak"? Ukranie is giving Russia all it can handle with Our old weapon stock and us tieing their hands by not letting them use our old weapons to attack Russian territory.
Poland would take Moscow if Russia blinked wrong. They have the 3rd largest NATO army. and a lot of our current Generation Tech.
What about the avengers?They’ve got someone inside the Justice League. Nothing is out of reach.
Yes, really. Russia’s military is shat and the world is seeing it first hand with Ukraine.not really.
Got it. So you support the USA invading Russia and Iran to "be strong"?Russia wouldn't be in Ukraine and Israel wouldn't be fighting a war on three fronts if the west wasn't weak.
And that was suggested where?Got it. So you support the USA invading Russia and Iran to "be strong"?
You claim Putin could win the Ukraine war whenever he wants, which means he actually wants to reach the soon to be year 3 of war, yet others are the ones that need to bring logic?This is all you morons have. Don't get this locked. Bring logic or STFU.
OKAnd that was suggested where?
Stop being stupid.
How exactly would a strong west keep Russia from invading Ukraine and keep Israel from fighting a 3 front war?Russia wouldn't be in Ukraine and Israel wouldn't be fighting a war on three fronts if the west wasn't weak.
Russia just playing the slow game to wait out the US's will to keep aiding Ukraine. If that stops it's all over for Ukraine.not really.
Putin may have thought we were weak, but he's found out otherwise over the last 3 years...Russia wouldn't be in Ukraine and Israel wouldn't be fighting a war on three fronts if the west wasn't weak.
Did not age well.Iran likes to sabre rattle. More than likely it’s just them bluffing again.
What Putin has found out is the West, US and Allies, are war weary. We now give financial support and eventually we sent planes and weapons with limitations on how and where they could be used by the Ukraines. That is not "strong", it's a sign that we "have to help" but we really don't want to get involved. Strong is defined as sending in aircraft, troops, etc as soon as Russia lined up on the border. We didn't, they moved because they knew that we would drag our feet and slowly aid Ukraine. The European Nations were even slower to get "involved". Russia evaluated our response to the passenger jet they shot down and determined we didn't want to get involved in a war in Europe, so they are slow playing and waiting US and our allies out. Just how I see it.Putin may have thought we were weak, but he's found out otherwise over the last 3 years...
Is Rachel Maddow still on tv? Is she even relevant anymore? I haven't heard that name in years. lol. Sorry I try to avoid cable news like the plague.I'm not the one trolling. I haven't told you that you sound like Rachel Maddow once.
You think we should have sent troops to Ukraine? That's bold.What Putin has found out is the West, US and Allies, are war weary. We now give financial support and eventually we sent planes and weapons with limitations on how and where they could be used by the Ukraines.

That’s my thought. If I lived in the MCU, I would dump my entire 401k in pre Ironman Stark Industries stock.What about the avengers?
Where did I say that "I" think we should have sent troops? Past Presidents certainly would have, being that we didn't along with the other things I mentioned is why they perceived the US to be "weak" . But I do think a stronger and immediate show of force could have prevented the invasion. Whether that was sending them tanks, fighter Aircraft and all the side dishes that go with those things along with getting the European Allies involved on a much higher level would have stopped Putin.You think we should have sent troops to Ukraine? That's bold.
I like the idea of funding them without actually having to put any American lives at risk. Seems much lower-risk than fighting a war with Russia, or just telling Ukraine to surrender.
I don't think any president from the nuclear age (Truman through Biden) would have sent American troops to Ukraine and risk a nuclear war. Send money and support, sure, but there is no history of direct military engagement with Russia or the USSR, despite them doing plenty of things like this over the years (Turkey/Greece with Truman, Eastern Europe in the 1950s/60s, Afghanistan with Carter and then Reagan, Georgia with Bush, Crimea with Obama, Syria with Trump, etc.)Where did I say that "I" think we should have sent troops?

Cost-benefit analysis ongoing for him. He most likely could take Ukraine sooner, but realizes the costs would likely be immediately higher, and the risk of increased worldwide retaliation inevitable.You claim Putin could win the Ukraine war whenever he wants, which means he actually wants to reach the soon to be year 3 of war, yet others are the ones that need to bring logic?
I agree that Putin is crazy. I agree that Putin is clearly willing to sacrifice citizens to continue his invasion.
But if he could have won already, he would have. That should be obvious. Instead, you claim he wants to keep struggling because it tests others.
