Source on a high up in the Russian military saying it would be 3 days?
“That is not the question,” Putin reportedly said. “But if I wanted to, I could take Kiev in two weeks.”
Not three days, but two weeks have also long passed, no?
Definitely counts, I appreciate it.
You want a source for something I haven't stated? 😅
His buddy Lukashenko was convinced that it takes only 3-4 days. That's what I'm quoting. https://x.com/nexta_tv/status/1498185064617762816
Lol
Why this specifically? Oh, right, because the narrative actually was widely peddled by Russian propaganda and its closest ally Belarus/Lukashenko: https://x.com/nexta_tv/status/1498185064617762816 ("3-4 days at most")
So you have to raise the standards in order to save Russian propaganda from its own arrogance and delusions. Nice try, but no.
Because who gives a fuck what anyone else has to say about a military operation?
Sadly, a whole bunch of people who've eaten up Russian propaganda do give a fuck.
The whole 3 day military operation thing sounds a lot like western propaganda if nobody in charge of Russian troops said it, lol.
I guess Belarus indeed is to the west of Russia...
I mean the endless bleating of it by liberals lol
If we gave you one you wouldn't accept it anyway so crawl back to your .ml hole
Sure I would, I love facts and sources! Hit me!
Let’s test it out. If you are genuinely interested in an answer to “where did the idea of a 3-day special military operation come from?”, here are some facts and sources. I suspect you put those qualifiers in there so you can dismiss them but let’s find out.
There’s a few along those lines.
Thanks for doing some homework. It's more than I expected but yeah the qualifiers are kind of important when talking about a military engagement, Imo.
Username doesn't check out
If you think asking for a source is confrontational I don't think you're going to enjoy your time here on the internet, lol.
Fine, Russia themselves didn't say 3 days it was a intelligence report. Your point is made.
However, Russia's Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu was quoted as saying it would last "until 2025", and that wasn't until about 18 months into the invasion. It's well past that. The point that they haven't completed their invasion even in their own quoted timeline still stands.
Thank you for being honest and rational.
