Some truths and some wild takes in it
It’s almost certainly an mi6 propaganda piece
Maybe; the fact that Russia probably thought this would be a piece of piss of a war, not a 3 year thing, is probably true though
Do you think the russians intended to conquer the whole of Ukraine?
Sure who knows? They’re not making much of a fist of it whatever their objectives are.
The term “special military operation” would indicate that, whatever the original military objective was, it was meant to be over quickly. An “operation” taking 3 years with no end in sight is approaching National Childrens Hospital levels of laughable planning.
Tell us what you think Russia’s objectives were?
The Ukrainians were bombing the shit out of donbass, and building up an army to take back both crimea and the donbass, as confirmed by Merkel and hollande. Id say russia blinked first
I’d say Vlad doesn’t give a fuck about ethnic Russians in Eastern Ukraine and, much like the Americans, wants control of the mineral wealth
Russians have no interest in Ukraine at all shure. Well… not since they high tailed it back across the Belarusian border after a few days. If they’d stayed longer they could have made a long weekend out of it.
They’ve made three attempts to resolve that conflict through negotiations. The americans have been open about provoking that conflict, I’d say they’re pretty happy with how its going
Sorry mike. This is a conversation for grownups. I’ll pay you some attention later

My sources in tehran tell me they’re looking to cash in their security guarantees with russia
A few lads on here might give him a character reference.
