OT: Putin's War in Ukraine

[Raellus]

I worry that this invasion will reinforce Putin's B.S. narrative with the Russian public.

Putin: "See, I told you that Ukraine is an existential threat to Russia! We must continue the fight this NATO-sponsored fascist aggression against us!"

From what I've read in recent months, the majority of the Russian public supported the war to some degree before the UAF's Kursk incursion. While some Russians in the affected region might change their minds and decide the whole thing isn't worth fighting, support for the war among those Russians far from the combat zone might actually increase.

I think that this operation could also play into the hands of the anti-Ukraine faction within the US government.

You-know-who: "The pro-Ukraine party claimed that all the American weapons we've given to Ukraine were for self-defense. This doesn't look like self-defense to me. My friend Vladimir assured me several years ago that Ukraine was a threat to Russia and this proves him right. To stop this fresh Ukrainian aggression, we should stop the flow of weapons to Ukraine immediately."

That all said, I really hope that this operations proves to be a great success for Ukraine.

Slava Ukraini!
