The best summary yet of why Putin is an imbecile and the Ukraine war is a huge blunder.
The Kremlin has declared it seeks a demilitarized Ukraine. So to “demilitarize” a state you involve it in a major conventional war? How exactly does that work?
Another declared goal is “denazification”. Well now that Russia has gone out of its way to advertise that Nazis participated in the defense of the Ukrainian state and bore sacrifices to do so is their future status in Ukraine supposed to drop? How?
Putin complained that Ukraine was too anti-Russian, but now the only war Ukrainians will have ever fought as Ukrainians will be against Russia. How is that supposed to help things?
Moscow complained that Ukraine had too many ties to NATO — well the escalation of February 24 has opened the floodgates on that. Ukrainian-NATO cooperation has shot up by orders of magnitude.
You could say that in all of these aspects Ukraine was already trending in a negative direction anyway, but what is gained by supercharging the drift?
The Kremlin’s justification for war revolved around what Ukraine had become. But in terms of changing what Ukraine is, the war has backfired spectacularly. On those terms, the war is an astounding failure. Sure enough, Russia will inflict a defeat on Ukraine. But does inflicting defeat on the other side means that you yourself have won? I don’t think so. I think winning a war entails improving the situation you complained about. If you set for yourself war goals that can not be attained by war then you are setting yourself up for defeat regardless of how the fighting goes.

To be sure, D’Souza’s “documentary” is more than likely retarded and fanciful, like all of his other ones. I won’t be wasting my time with it.
But just because Con Inc. shills are saying the election was stolen, doesn’t mean that it wasn’t. It clearly was.
The thing is, the only people that get indignant over people believing the election was stolen are shitlibs ( “how dare you question muh democracy!” ) and salty right-wingers who seethe because Blumpft wasn’t Hitler 2.
I was “over” the stolen election almost immediately. Elections are stolen all the time 🤷🏻♂️. Did anyone seriously think the regime wasn’t going to pull any shenanigans after they basically had a big Orange bomb thrown through their window in 2016? Gimme a break 🙄
