(7,086 posts)But its also bullshit. They aren't stretched thin by the slightest. Putin's own advisors are asking what he's waiting for, just take Ukraine already. But that's the issue, he doesn't want it all, its not worth it in value, only the most valuable real estate and he now has control of most of it. He is literally waiting for a coup in Ukraine to sue for peace.
He told Poland and Romania a decade ago if he should take "what he believes belongs to Russa" he wouldn't be opposed to them taking the rest. He let the Assad regime fall because he proped it up, only to see his incompetence wreck it all over again. Putin is already becoming good buds with the new government. Just like Afghanistan.
We're playing Parchesi while he's playing a multi-week Dungeons and Dragons campaign. Don't forget, when Kazakhstan had a coup, he sent only two thousand troops to prop the old government back up...during the highest part of the Ukraine war. And one thing about Iran, they hate Anglo Saxons more than they hate thier government. I should know, I'm Russian and my wife is Iranian.
