Then why in the world would he launch missiles into strictly civilian targets? Over, and over again. And not just in the east. Besides, pretty much moot point since his original intention was to surround Kyiv. The fact that he failed first time around won't stop him from trying again.

I predicted this months ago.
Russia will use Belarus to tie down Ukrainian troops in the NW while it focuses on consolidating gains in the SE.
It was obvious early on that this would be the strategy.
It would also fit into my theory about what Putin's end goal is. I don't believe he ever wanted the entire country, just parts of it in the east.
Let's not ignore the vast Lithium-Oxide deposits in the disputed areas.

The deposits are the key to Joe's New Green Deal.
He doesn't give a crap about Ukrainians.

That would explain our rather timid "response."

Not saying he isn't gonna pound them any way he can, seems Russia is struggling to hold on to what it can, and even that is slipping away.
Or that's the news we hear in the US, that Ukraine is winning, or is that just to justify the huge checks Congress is constantly sending?

Then there's the goddamned Americans who are suing for war and not for peace.

That will start when Zelensky demands every man woman and child grab a gun and sacrifice themselves while he hops in some Italian sports car and high tails it to Poland with his Russian whores and the booze.

Our victory is imminent, but we need money. And weapons. And foreign volunteers. And beaten up old aircraft. We did have an air force but it’s gone awol or something. Victory any day now. We’re also conscripting the entire male population. Not to replace losses, just because. We also need any old tanks you happen to have. We did have over a thousand tanks before but can’t seem to find them now. Weird that. Victory is assured!
Like the news coming out of Berlin in 1945. Embarassing really.
Not that the Russian version of events is much better mind you.

Yes it's all our fault. We should just take all our troops out of Europe and go home and mind our own business...
Except when this popped off numerous European countries were begging us to send more troops over to deter Putin from invading them next.
Make up your minds. I'd be happy to leave ya'll to your fate if that's what you want.

You forget that except for the UK, Germany, France and Italy wanted nothing to do with the Ukraine problem. It was the Americans who pushed, and pushed, and pushed for involvement.

If the news we hear on pretty much every other subject is any indication, it's bull#.
