The Ukraine probably has in many cases better infrastructure and assets then Russia does, at least in that region of Russia, so taking the country with doing as little damage to assets as possible was probably the plan. Now that the efforts haves stalled or slowed and resistance is greater than anticipated there may be a change in plans. Now if they deliberately want to hit residential areas and kill civilians to cause the country to surrender that may be the way they can win now. I doubt if many of the strategists realized the price they are going to pay to do that. The world is also seeing that if the Russians want more territory that their abilities are not as good as many may have guessed them to be. The whole idea that Putin wants no military other than his near him is something we should think about hard. He is much like the farmer that says "he does not want to own all the land in the world just that touches his."

The way he repeats himself makes me think it’s propaganda! Somewhere is the truth but where!

Putin referred to the New Nazis. How can the president of Ukraine being a Jew be a new
Nazi?

I think Waggler is part Russian.
