Sanity Check On Russia

There is a set of about three talking points going around all of which are wrong. However, even prominent Western thinkers are now treating these talking points as fact and telegraphing the post-Putin era which is fucking ridiculous

>Russia expected the war to be over in 2 days.
No, they didn't that's fucking retarded. It's not physically possible. There's a single Russian alt-media source that said something about dominating Ukraine in 48 hours. Who knows what that means, but has Ukrainian air power and command and control, their ability to supply troops all been destroyed? Yep.
>Putin didn't think the sanctions would be this bad.
Are you high? The whole reason for this war comes from 8 years of Russia being treated like shit by the West and the whole insane saga of the Clintons and Bidens, in Syria, the Trump bullshit. You're telling me Putin isn't aware of all that? Plus, Russia prepared hard for sanctions.
>So many destroyed Russian tanks on social media
Yeah, maybe like 20 pictures, more than half of which are from years ago and photoshopped. Serious Western journalists are acting like they've seen 100s of destroyed tanks, when it's the same bullshit on social media that everyone else is seeing.

These talking points are not a consensus, they're not facts. They're a forced narrative and the entire deep state media apparatus is organized around these.

Russia is gaining ground at a totally reasonable pace. Just today Izium is about to fall. The Kotel has formed. The Mariupol area sees the DPR and Crimean fronts merged. Kiev is now surrounded. Multiple cities have been taken. There hasn't even been sustained, major fighting.
Just cut it out with this propaganda bullshit this isn't reddit. And war isn't fought with D12 dice and you don't "resolve battles" and capture territory.
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH so many shills and retards.

But jokes on you, because in about three weeks this will all be over and it will be a total and massive Russian victory.

have truer words of wisdom have ever been spoken?

keyed
Sounds reasonable

>No, they didn't that's fucking retarded. It's not physically possible.
they do, all their preparations, their logistics, initial actions, orders and plans says clearly - they expected no resistance at all (like in Crimea 2014).

Then they got stopped and started to sperg out about bad NATO interfering with muh operation. Then they threatened nukes and started shelling, then they cancelled Odessa and started all the labs bullshit.

>But jokes on you, because in about three weeks this will all be over and it will be a total and massive Russian victory.
____ more weeks.

effort post is true

sneed

why cant white women keep their hands out of their ass?

built for BBC honestly.

So you have copies of their preparations logistics and so forth?

And why would they compare this to Crimea - which was already occupied by the Russian army at the time - when there's a giant Ukrainian force in Donbass that they've been fighting for years?

You see, some shit just makes no sense. Then you realize the only explanation is that it's a made up lie. Then, you recognize this is a war and war propaganda is full bullshit. So, this idea of Russia thinking it would take 2 days is just pure, raw, steamy horse manure.

>Russia expected the war to be over in 2 days.
This is the one single "fact" that drives me completely up the fucking wall. It took the United States (easily the biggest and most powerful military) a month to invade Iraq, and our main opponents there were fucking subsistence farming goat fuckers armed with literal Soviet-era weapons. But now, because social media and constant BREAKING NEWS UPDATES have rotten people's attention spans, when the reality that this wasn't going to be a fun little side story that gets wrapped up immediately, NPCs rebelled against logic and declared that ACTUALLY this is all another marvel movie and the ghost of kyiv personally beat up Putin and the war is "actually" over, the Russians just won't admit it.

We know that people are getting stupider over the years due to (((immigration))) and public schools, but social media is so ubiquitous that people don't have a reference point to compare attentions spans to anymore. Every time a missile is fired everyone needs to be the first to blow their load of "WW3 IS HAPPENING" memes because it's relevant, and then when the updoots dry up after a few days they all pack up and wait for the next fucking tiktok trend because chasing likes for dopamine is the biggest sport in the West. God help these losers if an actual war with Russia ever DID start.

Based

all true

Don’t get mad about it guy just enjoy picking apart all the bullshit and getting to be and feel smarter than everybody else

Although, less people buy all this bullshit than you think.

so many puta shills lmao

The Iraqi Army actually just mass surrendered. It was little hajjis that was it. And we cluster bombed civilians too.

Seethe you fucking retard.

They expected it to be over quickly because it was expected to be a SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION not a war, they expected immediate collapse/surrender of the majority of Ukrainian forces, SO YES it was expected to be over in a matter of days.

I hate having to share the board with room-temperature IQ fuckers like you

You can try mailing or tweeting OP's post at them but they're in it with all the other media outlets. They won't report on it.
