Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

Then why didn't he bring a bigger army?

No idea, but he clearly made a move for Kiev at the beginning.

Yeah... kind of defeats the Russian narrative that Ukrainians were wishing for Russian rule.
And all the Russians did were rape and kill the people they claimed they were saving.
But many conservatives are still pushing how Russia is in the right on this.

[Dauphin]

You are making an argument based on what is not said, rather than what is said.

[Thoth]

It was surprising and shocking that the Ukraineians didn't welcome the Russians with open arms. It's almost as if they remember the Holodomor.

Then why didn't he bring a bigger army?

He thought it was enough... His generals told him that they would roll over and play dead.
I guess they never thought that the Ukrainians would defend THEIR COUNTRY from an invading force.

Then why didn't he bring a bigger army?

He brought an army he thought was sufficient to do that in a little 3 day invasion - sadly (for him), that army was severely damaged and had to retreat leaving whatever they had. He has been on the heels since and are close to topple backwards.

Then why didn't he bring a bigger army?

What makes you think Putin's decision making capacity is any more competent than the floundering army he did bring? Not to mention he DID commit nearly all of the deployable combat capacity he had free at the time.

[Berzerker]

Putin wants control of the whole country or at least half of it.

Then why didn't he bring a bigger army?

[Berzerker]

how so....?

[Proteus_MST]

Well, good thing that Ukraine isn't ruled by Azov, but by a democratically elected president

[BeBMan]

What a surprise:

a stalemate means more dead people, but at least Russia will continue bleeding... money well spent I hear

war would end fast if we stopped paying for it, Ukraine would deal and let Crimea and the Donbas go. I dont think they want to be ruled by Kiev anyway, ya know.

Putin wants control of the whole country or at least half of it.

[Berzerker]

patience... maybe they're on permanent vacation in the magical kingdom of Belarus

[Dauphin]

How is that a distortion or manipulation? Does the history book refer to the 2014 Maidan massacre as a coup? I imagine it does, so why doesn't the BBC include that on its list of lies? Maybe because the BBC interviewed one of the snipers. The author's logic is sloppy with debatable assertions masquerading as facts.

Argumentum ex silentio.

[Berzerker]

Yes, that was the rebuttal to the claims of a Nazi problem in Ukraine, Z's Jewish, hence Prig is Jewish. Ofc Zelensky didn't get elected until 2019 long after Azov was killing eastern Ukrainians and he was never in charge of them. The proper comparison would be Prig/Wagner to Azov and its founder Andriy Biletsky. He aint Jewish lol.
