(12,484 posts)I said there'd be no fucking way Putin attacked Ukraine BECAUSE... it'd be fucking STUPID and there was NO reason for it.
So yeah, got that one wrong.

Lavrov made the remarks on Wednesday while speaking to students and staff at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) in response to Polish proposals for a NATO and international "peace mission."
"Our Polish colleagues have already stated that there will be a NATO summit now, we need to send peacekeepers. I hope they understand what is at stake," Lavrov said, according to Russian state-owned news agency TASS.

But who knows... maybe the Oligarch who owned the munition factory funneled the money into his new yacht instead???

(49,041 posts)is just a Potemkin army, but the Ukrainians have shown the Russians are a lot less competent than previously believed. Putin may have counted too much on nuclear threats as a deterrent.
