Russia is not loosing. This is just part of the 5D chess Putin is playing. Any minute he will make his master move and conquer Ukraine, destroy NATO and fingerbang your dad. Just wait. You’ll see.

Show me where Putin claimed he'd take Kyiv in 3 days.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sure. The minute you show me where I said Putin claimed it.

[–] Ferrous@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh my bad, for some strange reason I had assumed you were talking about Putin in a comment chain devoted to talking about Putin.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Generally, if someone quotes someone else, they put it in quotation marks. Hence my never claiming Putin said it.

On the other hand, there was the three-day plan, which I am sure you will deny existing or say is a Western lie.

But then I'm guessing you'll also say the invasion was justified for one reason or another.

[–] Ferrous@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 months ago

Bruh, you literally just linked to a paragraph that makes the claim that the idea of a three-day conquest came purely out of American and Ukrainian speculation. This is exactly what I'm saying, save for that one Lukashenko quote.

I'm not going to get into the weeds with you about the invasion, but I am going to call you out for sheisty implied quotes. Any reasonable and adequately uninformed person would read your "three day war" comment in response to a comment chain about putin and assume you were talking about putin. You deserve to get called out for that. It's misleading and disingenuous.
