1000 days in... why is Putin holding back!?!?
I don't get it. Why is super strong, super handsome, super brave Putin not just taking Ukraine? OT told me it would be soooo simple.

Russia was already winning the war. Now Biden wants to escalate the war because the American people voted wrong apparently, lol.

if it was just the land that he wanted, then sure he would have it already.

he never wanted to destroy it, but to unite it. make it a vassal state.

eventually hes going to have to drop something bigger in there unfortunately.
in my opinion ukraine should immediately seek peace, stop the meaningless resistance.

ukraine was in the wrong afterall. they the one that egged russia on.
what you think the invasion just dropped from clear sky, there was no reason?
think again.

Because he wasn't prepared for a fight. It turned out that the Russian military is badly equipped and trained so this has been a much more difficult fight than he thought it would be.

I am thinking. In 2014 Russia invaded and annexed Crimea before Ukraine ever mentioned the word Nato.

And Putin thought it would be as simple this time .........

Remember how blitzkrieg revolutionized warfare at the start of WW2? Well we are seeing the same thing happen again, this time with drones.

Russia has been trying to fight a ground war with tanks and they have been losing lots of tanks to drones. It's estimated Russia has lost about 9,000 tanks so far in Ukraine.

During the recent UAP hearing someone from the Pentagon mentioned that a drone swarm flew over Langely air base. I don't think those were aliens, I think they are Uncle Sam's experimental drones. That's the only reason I can think of why Langely didn't shoot them down.

Remember how Vietnam was a staging ground for helicopters? I think Ukraine is a staging ground for drones. The next major war will see drone swarms being used extensively.

Russia doesn't seem to have a good anti-drone defense system yet because they keep losing tanks. If I were them I would stop producing tanks entirely. If drones can destroy tanks why bother assembling a big pile of armor plating that's just going to get blown up by something a fraction of the cost?

They need to adapt to the new style of warfare. I think they are still figuring it out.

China does have good drone tech. If you go over to Youtube they have drone shows in Hong Kong where they control thousands of drones at once. I'm sure China's military has weaponized drones and could do the same thing the Ukrainians are doing.

Funny how one of Russia's allies has this level of drone tech but Russia loses 9,000 tanks to drones in Ukraine.

Is it because their military structure is too rigid? Why aren't they able to adapt faster?

they're still butt hurt because they think Putin helped Trump in the 2016 election, lol

Ukraine is already a warzone. Even if Russia did get Ukraine the repairs will be expensive. A lot of towns are destroyed.

Because they are still fighting
So Putin is taking so long because doesn't want to take ukraine, he has what he wants. But also he is still taking Ukraine and invading. But he is taking so long because doesn't want to take ukraine.....
Poor troll :steamfacepalm:
