All I’m saying is you’re falling back on bad information. You’ll figure it out eventually or you will end up acquiescing to the woke crowd like all the other traditional republicansLol. You're not going to get into it with me, then mention my children transitioning. You're something else.
Putin thought this would be over in a matter of weeks. He thought dropping his elite Spetsnaz units behind enemy lines in Kiev along with the initial onslaught would lead to a quick and decisive victory. He didn't count on his special forces being wiped out early on, Ukraine resisting as strongly as they did or the impact of intelligence and elevated weaponry being supplied primarily by the US.
You are right, Putin didn't go on the offensive to get exposed. But he was wrong and he did. And now he's panicking and moving forward with mass mobilization. This is compounding the horrible humanitarian situation that exists in both Ukraine (mass civilian deaths, torture, rape) and now Russia (tens of thousands of troop deaths, hundreds of thousands of fathers being ripped from their homes to be used as cannon fodder).
It's a horrible situation and I'm glad the USA can confront autocratic evil in the world.
Putin didn’t send his elite units to get destroyed immediately. I really can’t believe you believe that
