Putin isn't actually a retard. He may be the highest-IQ current world leader. His mistake appears to be surrounding himself in a bubble that reinforces all his dumbest ideas. People can be functionally stupid while being actually intelligent.

I'd say that's pretty spot-on. I think he had an "It's looks good on paper" plan that relied on a blitz to take Kyiv and leave the Ukrainian military in chaos. But he never really looked to see if it was actually achievable.

I kinda get the feeling that he was constantly asking his generals and advisors questions like "Are our troops and equipment ready for an invasion?", "Can our supply lines keep running smoothly?" and "Those Chechens are excellent Marksmen, right?"

And everyone around him replied with "Yes, absolutely" except the Chechen General who replied with "Yeah...but send them a lot of extra ammo, just in case."

He probably never looked into it himself or he would've seen the outdated, poorly maintained vehicles, the troops taking bribes and playing 'Sodomize the new guy' instead of training, and a logistics system that was completely ineffective.

He believed his own hype men.

His mistake is a common one in autocracies

Turn a blind eye to your underlings skimming off the top as a reward for loyal service

Sometimes they skim too much too much. Like these Russians did they have obviously skimmed way off the top of the military budget for 20 years so instead of a modernized military all the branches like what he thought he was paying for, Putin got a mostly modernized air force a kinda modernized navy and a not very modernized army

Thunderdome baitposting again derailing our generally amicable threads. I guess we need to treat it like herpes flare-ups on anything vaguely political...

None of us are flying Russian flags (at least not the reasonable ones). Although, I can see Hohols seeing 4th of July red-white-blue colors as evil. I fear for us Americans, French (yes, you heard me right), Dutch, Brits, etc who celebrate our country's colors with frothing Hohols and the Terminally Online...

What if WW3 results in a total Russian victory, are you ready to be taped to the pole and get spanked with beets, maybe have some borsch poured on you as Chechens laugh in 9/11 at you?

Speak for yourself, the khokhols only have themselves to blame for making me join Team Rossiya. Also Biden and the other fags demanding I starve and go broke to support this garbage while they sip champagne at the latest Clinton Foundation meeting.

The BBC is distributing a video accusing Ukraine of missile strikes on the civilian population in Kramatorsk and the creation of fakes on a global scale
