“Some of you may be willing to die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make” but unironically

If you really believe this then you are a deeply unserious person with a goldfish memory. Putin is an entirely rational actor whose position has been clear ever since he was first elected, who has often been forced to change course in reaction to the United States’ decades of provocations. If we had extended a glad hand to him instead of continuing to surround and isolate him he’d be a member of the EU and NATO would be completely focused on China.
Remind me, where were Russian forces marching in February last year? It was some city… A capital even. Started with a K.
And then they all turned around because they got scared of a ghost, is that right?
I think it had more do to with 10,000 dead Russian soldiers
Yea it’s deffinitly that and not the fact they had taken the territory they stated from the start they were trying to take.
also didn’t it come out later that african states had gotten russia and ukraine to get peace agreements in place so russia withdrew to the single eastern front?
Yes the stunning military victory knows as “retreat from Kyiv”
As you say this I imagine you standing on an aircraft carrier with a big banner behind reading “mission accomplished”
That’s fucking hilarious because Kyiv not falling in a week has been touted as a Ukrainian victory even though it was them who set that goal and them literally declaring victory while the russians actually accomplished all their stated goals.
Since your such a military genius it’s weird how the concept of cutting supply lines to the territories you’re trying to take is an unfamiliar concept. Obviously they weren’t trying to stop supplies to the actual contested regions they were just yoloing a mission to a capital they never claimed as a goal for no apparent reason.

Russia: currently holding all the territory they said they wanted to take before the invasion and for the last decade
Ukraine: conscripting people to throw at russian defenses resulting in tens of thousands of deaths and retaking zero ground, complaining that the counter offensive is failing because Russia is cheating by using anti tank mines to stop tanks
If this is copium it’s some good shit
Why are you so afraid to engage with the arguments presented to you?

Damn this is like, triple-distilled Kremlin Copium Reserve right here. Putin is an entirely rational actor? Lmfao! Is that why he picked a fight with a country a quarter the size of his and got a black eye? Is that why he flip-flopped in the Budapest memorandum? Is that why he blew up Priggy and pals for everyone to see?
Also, what kinda American provocations are you talking about? Was it the billions in IMF money Russia got in the 90s? That was provocative for sure. Or is it when they sent a spy to infiltrate your ruling party? Oh wait, Butina was Russian, it was the other way around, nevermind.
I don’t think you understand what “rational actor” means. Provocations include, but are not limited to, expanding NATO into countries which we promised we wouldn’t while denying Russia membership, cutting off their allies via international deals in order to isolate them, and maintaining a nuclear first strike policy which is the only one of its kind in the world.
