All you do is toss insults on the wall hoping one is going to stick. I don't know what your reasoning is for that. The only reason I am responding to you is to show others how fanatical people like you can get. It's a very predictable cycle: Repeat false narratives, insult, rattle off whataboutisms, deny and insult again then toss in some conspiracy theories for flavor. You are doing nothing unique and following the same exact patterns as all other fanatics.
It is very clear that Russia didn't start the war in Ukraine because of Nazis. Russia is just attempting to take land and steal resources. The real reasons for the war have been leaked a thousand times already by Russian politicians and state controlled media reporters. The goal was never to save Ukraine, but exterminate them. You can see that in Russian battle methodology where scorched earth is the preferred method of taking a city.
If the Kremlin actually gave a fuck about Nazis, there are better targets than Ukraine to go after. Every country has their share of them, even Russia.
The corruption and lazy attitude to planning showed itself when the invasion of Ukraine started. Russia had years to plan for this and could have taken Ukraine in a week. The planning and communication was so bad, the war continues to this day. The corruption shows in all aspects of its military. The most glaring example is in the Admiral Kuznetsov, an aircraft carrier that never seems to get fixed because the money keeps disappearing. I think someone has already jumped out of a window because of that debacle.
Even at the high level, the generals report false numbers. The best examples are when Russia was claiming that 19 HIMARS launchers and over 600 rockets were destroyed when we had only given Ukraine 16 launchers to begin with. This doesn't include every single time that Russia says "all rockets and drones were destroyed" while civilians are posting multiple angles of destruction. Lulz.
Isn't it curious that Russia is having to import munitions from Iran and North Korea? Russia keeps denying that Iranian drones are being used while also reporting that Iranian drones are being used.
OMG. Do we even need to get to the threats of Russia using nuclear weapons in Ukraine? That is the dumbest rhetoric I keep hearing... from Russians.
Where is the SU-57? The T-14's? The BMPT Terminators? Don't they exist? Was Russia even lying about its capabilities? We won't talk about the hypersonic missiles they can hardly build because they use western tech. Where are these miracle weapons of Russian propaganda?
The list goes on and these were points that you can actually verify.
Again, I get a ton of information from Russian media about what their viewpoints are. It's not difficult to separate fact from fiction. Putin is the worst, btw. Take PMC Wagner, for example: He flip-flopped a dozen times about their existence. I think his latest stance is that they never existed. It's hard to keep track.
