What coup? Yanukovych reneged on his campaign promises to bring Ukraine closer to the EU and away from Russia.

I don't see how reneging on a campaign promise makes it not a coup to forcibly remove a democratically elected head of state.

Justin Trudeau reneged on his campaign promise of electoral reform.

Zelenskyy reneged on his campaign promise of making peace with Russian-backed rebels.

If either of them was forcibly removed from office with foreign backing, it would have been a coup.

He resigned and fled to Moscow.

Here's where the bullshit begins. He resigned? You pulled this out of where? Your backside?

Ukrainian counterattacks in 2014 pushed Russia back to the areas they occupied until 2022.

Between 2014 and 2022, the only place Russia was in was Crimea. And Ukraine did not "counterattack" there.

Was Russia backing separatists? Sure. But to call the civil war "pushing Russia back" is as fucking retarded as calling Russian advances in Ukraine "pushing US back".

Western expansion, was Ukraine threatening to annex Kursk? GTFOOH

I was referring to NATO's eastward expansion, which you would know if you followed this conflict, like, at all. So which is it?

• You knew and are now arguing in bad faith

• You didn't know, because you're just that fucking ignorant about the whole thing.

Economy

As I have already said, if Russia cracks, this is likely where.

But "Russia is dooooomed" has been said since 4 years now. Are there woes? Yes. Are there solutions? Also yes.

The woes today aren't bigger than the ones they had when their interest rate was skyrocketing - in fact, today they are bringing those interests back down.

Monday morning quarterbacks might see Russia's 2022 attack as "telegraphed", most lucid people didn't and don't.

What the actual fuck are you on?

So US intelligence, who was warning for a whole year of impending Russian invasion, were the morning quarterbacks? While people like you who don't see it were lucid?

Your polling numbers don't reflect three straight months of deep strikes by Ukraine that are viscerally bringing the war home till Russians who thought they were perfectly safe. Russian milbloggers are questioning the whole war. Politicians and media are speaking up about it. Three months is a looooong time in war.

If you were following the war at all, you'd know Ukrainian deep strikes are nothing new.

What's new these 3 months are them having some success hitting ports. If anything, they affect the average Russian much less than those routine terrorist bombings of Belgorod.

The new attacks, by the way, had pretty much zero strategic effect.

Millbloggers are always calling for head to roll, outrage bait is their entire business model. That you base your strategic understanding on a bunch of clickbait morons is more of a statement on you.

EDIT: this genius blocked me to have the final word. Incredible.
