I wonder if that speaks to any inability on Russia's part to sustain a protracted invasion, or if they simply have the firepower to do it and so why not.

with Putin the strategem is always maximum gain with minimum loss. imagine it's just a game theory solution that they've brainstormed out. they truly see warfare as politics by other means, and desire the minimal amount of fighting to secure their political goals. a puppeted Ukraine with a week of fighting and marginal casualties is preferable to an annexed one that requires months of fighting and heavy casualties. every day this war goes on is bad for the Russian economy and increases the political fallout they will face. obviously willing to pay that price but no reason to pay more than they have to.

And they've now realized that Russian pressure or not, he'll eventually come for you if you aren't in NATO, and are looking to hop in.

Russian troops were just seen marching on stream

[Rhyis.]

this is such a bad take lmao Canadians

i mean i literally just described desert storm

iraq invaded kuwait. nato called war crimes due to the length of the invasion and the number of dead. a coalition was formed to kick iraq the fuck out as a result

if iraq took kuwait in a day the gulf war never would have happened. this isn't ground breaking shit
