"Bitch, look." "You've been stomped down for being stupid." "Fuck you bastards." When you're using fighting words on an anonymous steroid board it's clear you have mental issues. Sometimes when you have problems it's easier to find a scapegoat. You've found that scapegoat.It'd be one thing if you had any info.
Nothing you say, isn't said better and more often on CNN MSNBC and the rest of the Washington DC/DNC propoganda networks on a daily basis.
Literally 20 minutes of watching MSNBC will sum up your entire opinions on just about anything

But, wow. To go around saying Biden's not in charge he has handlers who forced Putin to invade and can call the war off at any time, and the Ukrainians are losing so bad NATO troops are going in soon... Dismissing any source that disagrees with this including those with PhDs, those who are neutral and those who were there. You've gone off the deep end.
We now know the Russian FSB had paid off some people in Kiev and were double-crossed:Putin really must have been convinced Ukraine would not fight. Guess he was wrong.
Ukraine says a plot to assassinate President Volodymyr Zelensky was foiled by Russian spies who were secretly working against Putin
A security and defense chief said elite Chechen special forces sent to assassinate Zelensky were "directly destroyed" because of the intel.
Russian spy assumed victory in Ukraine and had Kyiv apartment picked out before war
The Kremlin was so certain of victory in Ukraine, a top Russian official had already picked out a pad in Kyiv before the war began.
This argument comes from John Mearsheimer, and he argues it persuasively but it's a losing argument. Most people and most experts are not persuaded.But it's not going to change the FACT that Russia drew it's red line on its borders with Ukraine and Washington drew it's lines halfway across the world.
A key underlying premise here is that great powers get to have spheres of influence and red lines, sometimes even if your security isn't at risk. Putin thought Russia was a great power, but except for his nuclear arsenal (which you only use if being attacked and as a last resort) Russia is not a great power anymore. They have a military budget less than India's and an economy half India's size. They had a refusal or inability to modernize their culture, political system, or economy and now they don't get to have red lines in Ukraine. This is what happens to them if they do.
Not only that but Putin was assured over and over again that Ukraine was not joining NATO for the foreseeable future.
