How Putin Miscalculated So Badly - 3 BIG Mistakes

No matter how the war in Ukraine ends, Vladimir Putin’s legacy will be irreversibly tarnished. With almost 580,000 Russian troops lost as of August 2024, along with vehicles, weapons, and critical resources, Russia’s economy has suffered immense damage. The war has shattered the image of Russia as a resurgent superpower, exposing its vulnerabilities. This video delves into how Putin’s misplaced trust and overconfidence led to strategic failures, leaving his country in a prolonged conflict and political turmoil.

No country has the right to infringe on another countries territorial rights but besides that Russia recognized Ukraine is an independent country they even made a deal for Ukraine to hand back the nuclear weapons they got after the dissolution of the Soviet Union they cannot just go back on the promise with no consequence we need to give Ukraine everything we can to help push Russia out of every inch of their territory

Half a million troops have died, when is enough enough? It is just like Hitler, a non-strategic politician who thought he could lead his county’s military, but failed miserably.

Russia: C'mon, lets invade Ukraine, it'll be a 2 week invasion!

when you rule by fear of poison, balcony falling or gulag .. your subjects tend to stop telling you the truth or what you NEED to hear and start telling you what you WANT to hear ...

[nicklindberg]

The crazy part about all this is that Russia started all of this and refuses to admit they messed up

[alexbroere]

As so beautifully said once:

“Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid.”❤

Putin thought he was Caesar and could say Veni, Vidi, Vici. Instead he finds himself trying not to say Veni Vidi Calamitosas Defectum!

Now Russia has the second strongest military in Russia.

you know things are not going well for you when you invade a country and that country pulls a reverse uno card

[larryprice]

Before the invasion Russia was the second most powerful military in the world. Now they are the second best military in Ukraine. When Ukraine forces invaded Russia, Russia became the second best military in Russia.

When surrounded by yes men complete destruction is inevitable. Other dictators (North Korea) should take note, but they won't because it is against their very nature.

I have long thought that Putin’s best historical analog is Benito Mussolini. This video is one of the best I haven seen that brings out the parallel. The military is vastly corrupt, the generals having been selected solely for loyalty. Many of the high ranking leaders are little more than civilians in a uniform. Logistics and training were neglected, so the army found itself in a quagmire from the start (both literally and figuratively). I have no idea how this war will end, but I am sure it will not end anytime soon. Putin will forever be remembered in history as the knuckle dragging school yard bully that found out the little skinny kid is named Bruce Lee.

Can somebody who was raised and trained in a corrupt system understand it's true weakness?

[glennkoch]

Putens senior officer, when Putin was KGB wrote in Putins military evaluations, "Putin tends to act quickly without thinking of possible bad outcomes."

Clear, concise and accurate reporting and analysis. Thank you.

And don’t forget that Finland and Sweden have joined NATO! More consequences of this war criminal’s actions.

[lawrencebrown]

If Putin is ever imprisoned for his war crimes, he should be forced to listen to this in Russian 24/7.

[Roberto-bdfq]

A fine straightforward analysis of how allegiance to one man and his nonsensical ideas can lead to disaster for entre nations.
Russia is finished and the irony is they have no idea in Russia, at least very few do, of what is coming for Russia. Nothing good.

[SiobhanFalque]

Love how Putin tried to tell Ukriane what to do. He started a war with them, commited several war crimes, and outright tried to take Kyiv. But now, when he's losing, he whines about Ukraine sending missles into Russia, and taking some Russian land. Its like a kid beginning to lose a game and trying to alter the rules so they can't lose. Even if Russia wins by some miracle, Russia has lost its prestige as 2nd most powerful nation in the world, its weak military has been revealed, its relationship with China has been strained, its economy has been crippled, and NATO is prepared and confident that they can bring Russia down. China is now the only possible military threat to NATO due to their population and will to moderize unlike Putin, who's about to end up like Tsar Nicholas 2nd. Even then, China can't take on NATO & India, who'd likely join to get back at China and end its rival. Good job Russia, you've succeeded in the comedy industry!

There a real lesson here for Putin never believe a bunch of drunk Russian generals

The Kievan Rus', a medieval state that existed from the 9th to the 13th centuries, is often considered the birthplace of the broader Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian cultures.

Kievan Rus' was a powerful federation of Slavic and Viking (Varangian) territories centered around the city of Kiev, and it is where the foundations of Eastern Slavic culture, Orthodox Christianity, and early statehood were laid. In 988, Vladimir the Great, the Grand Prince of Kiev, adopted Christianity from the Byzantine Empire, which shaped the future of the region's religious and cultural identity.

However, after the Mongol invasion in the 13th century, Kievan Rus' fragmented, and power shifted north to cities like Moscow. It was from Muscovy (the Grand Duchy of Moscow) that the modern Russian state eventually emerged, leading to the formation of the Russian Empire in 1721.
So Kiev should be the capital of Russia, with Zelensky being the president. 🤣
