He has to ask. There's zero harm in his asking and it's probably much better to be seen asking and being denied than having to explain to his people why he didn't even try

It was a straight up dumb loving move, seriously. It's surprising from him. Putin thought it would be just like any other of the military actions he's ordered, not realizing that Ukraine is obviously in a different category, in the rest of the world's mind (or the west's mind at least), from places like Georgia, Chechnya and Syria.

He didn't even bother cooking up a legitimate-seeming cassus belli, or a false flag, or anything. He just massed on the border for months, declared that Ukraine is filled with homonazis and invaded.

And that's not even taking into account the stunning incompetence in terms of tactics and strategy in the actual prosecution of the war.

It's all quite strange, like he's been enjoying the smell of his own farts for too long and legitimately believes his own bullshit.

He may take or destroy Ukraine, but I don't think he's coming out of this with anything that could be called a win in terms of the big picture. Maybe that would be enough for him, I don't know. Or maybe he actually wants Russia to be another North Korea. Which is a chilling thought.

Indeed. You'd think the smarter plan would have been, after the attempts to generate a false flag failed, to just withdraw on Feb 25 or whatever, make Biden look foolish and legitimize the pro-Russian narrative, then when Trump wins in a couple of years and withdraws from NATO just take Ukraine then.

Unless, for some reason, Putin suspected he might not be around in a couple of years, possibly due to some health issue as has been the subject of rumor.

The vibe I am getting right now from Europe as a whole is that the European’s are rolling up their sleeves and saying, “gently caress it. You want to fight, Putin, bring it…”

While the United States is the friend in the corner of the bar saying, “guys that dude’s got a gun, I am all up for standing up for the dude he’s beating up on, but maybe trying to get into a fist fight with him is a bad idea.”

No judgement here towards either side, just the overall vibe.

By the way, Putin, you know you done hosed up when the entire European continent, including Switzerland, wants to kick you in the balls.

yeah. i think the world has been waiting for decades for a new "look at this loving monster rear end in a top hat" that most people can agree with and also sorta gently caress over. Putin is that guy, dudes a sociopathic bully and everyone but the dumbest fucks knows that and hates him for that and god knows what else and now he broke a ton of international cardinal rules and rocked the boat. so now everyone is gonna take turns punching him and loving him over.

very much so. meanwhile currently russian forces have no cohesion and don't know dick about combined ops. so you end up with conscripts either dying, running for it or being captured.

Russian President Vladimir Putin Accused of Taking Steroids That Cause Aggressiveness in Bodybuilders
Former foreign secretary and doctor Lord David Owen has said taking steroids could be a reason for Putin's aggression

https://www.menshealth.com/uk/health/a39257659/russian-president-vladimir-putin-accused-of-taking-steroids/

quote:

"Look at his face, see how that has changed – he now has an oval face," said Owen.

"People who said, 'oh, it's plastic surgery or Botox,' I don't believe that at all."

"He's on either anabolic steroids as a bodybuilder – and he's very proud of his muscles and strips to the waist and everything like that – or he's on corticosteroids. If you're on these drugs, this gives you this face.

I've seen pretty much all of these videos already, but it's fantastic to have both subtitles and context for each. You can actually see them for what they are. And I'm very impressed by the conduct of the soldiers in the fifth video.
