The media won’t give me great answers to this question and I think this I trust this community more, thus I want to know from you. Also, I have heard reports that Russia was winning the war, if that’s true, did the west miscalculate the situation by allowing diplomacy to take a backseat and allowing Ukraine to a large plethora of military resources?
PS: I realize there are many casualties on both sides and I am not trying to downplay the suffering, but I am curious as to how it is going for Ukraine. Right now I am hearing ever louder calls of Russia winning, those have existed forever, but they seem to have grown louder now, so I was wondering what you thought about it. Also, I am somewhat concerned of allowing a dictatorship to just erase at it’s convenience a free and democratic country.
Pre-invasion: Putin Laments Soviet Breakup As Demise Of ‘Historical Russia,’ Amid Ukraine Fears
June 2022: 'Taking it back’: Vladimir Putin likens self to Peter the Great. The Russian president draws parallels between Peter the Great’s founding of St Petersburg and modern-day Russia’s ambitions.
I don’t think he literally wants the USSR 2.0,.but he yearns to recreate the losition of power Russia enjoyed on the world stage as a consequemce of that formation.
I stand corrected. It seems I am the one spewing shit. I should reasses my support for totalitarian regimes.
