Guys, let me show you how the warmonger class that supports sending weapons to Ukraine operate…
They are feeding the notion that Ukraine can win…
The West needs to send just a little bit more howitzers, drones, rounds of ammo…
Russia can’t win this, this is a constantly repeated claim. Let’s imagine Russia’s defeat…
But these types are not very certain in their endeavors. They sense something is off…
Also, they are feeding the notion that Russia is running out of resources to wage the war, implying that it does not have enough of X or that it peaked in X.

Meanwhile, appart from Kursk, which became another caldron for Ukraine, Ukraine is not making any territorial gains. Ukraine just lost Vuhledar and is about to lose Siversk. Pokrovsk, Kramatorsk and Slaviansk are next, then Zaporozhie, Pavlohrad, Dnipro, Kharkov, Kherson, Nikolaev and Odessa. Russia will win this…

They just keep trying to shit on Putin over the slow progress of the war. But when you really think about it; instead of taking tons of lands and Russia end up having to fight a guerilla warfare that can make Second Chechen War looks like a child’s play, it may be better to draw out all of Ukraine’s capable units and the anti-Russia fanatics, and while at it, breaking Ukraine’s spirits and hope, so Russia won’t have to worry about any raids from those psycho taking place in Donbas, Zaporizhia and Kherson. The whole retreats seem to happen when Kadyrov went to Putin and told him how the ground troops are fending off waves after waves of anti-Russia fanatics. Putin may had come up with such tactic shift upon hearing it.
At the end, Putin is just being cautious. He’s trying not to get Russia dragged into the scenario of US’ act in Vietnam, Afghanistan and what not. It’s better to do it like that than to capture tons of lands but won’t be able to secure it.

Putin first and foremost increases the number of troops in Ukraine very gradually. From what I can tell, Russia has fewer troops in Ukraine than Ukraine has mobilized, or at least that was the case for most of this war. This is done not to rock things in Russia too much. Russia decided to fight the army instead of taking land. No army means none to protect the land. Pure and simple.

Exactly. No army = no one to defend = less resistance force with military experience to deal with once Russia takes those lands. Bush took Iraq so quick and took down Taliban government so quick, but he didn’t get the job done at all. Putin is simply thinking on long term.
