Oh I can buy that. Their best are going through the ringer they need more to replace them with longer training.

Well,either Putin fucked it,or...IT IS PLOT! and,when the stars would be right,great Puthullu would come from slumber and take Ukraine!
Or, he just made deal with USA deep state for long war,so they could fake 2022 election and label all who protest as Putin spies.
In that case,he would win after american elections.
We would see.
Putin appears to be more concerned with getting more pussy than he is with conquering Ukraine, though obviously he wants to do both:

Russian President Vladimir Putin, 69, has two children with ex-gymnast lover Alina Kabaeva, who is 30 years younger — and is reportedly not pleased she’s expecting another girl.

I feel like I want to share this post of mine:
Yeah, Hitler felt that if Germany can't win WWII then it should lose its own right to exist as an independent state. Ironically similar to how some Russian nationalists currently feel about their own country if it will lose its current war in Ukraine:
By Anatoly Karlin:
I don’t see the point of wasting my time on such hypotheticals, because it’s extremely unlikely to happen (as I said from the beginning), but in the event that it does, Russian nationalism is going into the dustbin of history, as is Russia as well, and good riddance at that, because losing to a fake and gay country that has <10% of your GDP to boot makes you faker and gayer by orders of magnitude.
Konstantin Krylov would have agreed:
If one capitulates before Ukraine, one can to anything at all to him.
As regards myself, I will simply become a pure hedonist and will transfer over my loyalty to the CPC to the extent I am mentally ill enough to retain any interest in politics.
There's a huge similarity between Nazis' and present-day Russian nationalists' logic in regards to this: "We have the right to conquer other countries in order to become even more powerful but if we will fail in doing this, then our own countries will become fake and gay and thus lose their own right to exist!"

This might seem like a while back, but in 2002, a majority of Ukrainians in southern and eastern Ukraine (then still including both Crimea and the Donbass) said that they would have voted against Ukrainian independence if they could have redone the December 1991 Ukrainian independence referendum:
Without Crimea and the Donbass, this would have probably been either around 50-50 or a slight majority in favor of Ukrainian independence even in 2002.

In 2002 it made a lot of sense, they were a Russian client state back then, except poorer, with little perspective of improvement. For some the solution was to turn towards the West, for others, double down and join Russia properly.This might seem like a while back, but in 2002, a majority of Ukrainians in southern and eastern Ukraine (then still including both Crimea and the Donbass) said that they would have voted against Ukrainian independence if they could have redone the December 1991 Ukrainian independence referendum:

No, that means Russian propaganda preparation for the war had some successes. After all, seeing just in this thread, even its foreign branch has managed to convince some non-Russians. Imagine how much more intense it must be for Russians, even the less isolated ones.

The fact that there is the year in the quote should clue you in.
Both Hitler and Putin used very twisted logic - but,twisted logic is still logic.That is why i hope,that Moscov would lost - people there would not attack anybody for next 100 years.

Sometimes, when people ask a question, they don't actually expect an answer, because it's not actually a question.
He,at least,was in prison.How many kgbstan rapist was send to prison for their crimes on Ukraine?.
And remember,that Putin did it first.
If kgbstan could send rapists from prison to conqer Ukraine,Ukraine could send their rapists to defend country.

Iranians in bed with the Russians. Guess it’s official then. Gee, didn’t see that coming, not at all. Hey fellas, Putin the icon of resistance against “globohomo” is having quality bedtime with the Isllamist Mullahs of Iran.
If Putin wins in Ukraine, then what?
He seems ready to lean in even further to the uncertainty his actions have created.

There is one thing here that I do want to happen, though:
Capital relocations are IMHO generally a good thing since they help shift the center of gravity in a country.

I’d vote for an entirely new capital city to be built instead of merely relocating the capital city, though if relocation of the capital is the most realistic one, then either Krasnoyarsk or Tomsk (I prefer the latter, as it is basically the university hub of Siberia)
What about Ekaterinburg?
