          No. I genuinely don’t know what they’re talking about.

            Ok well start here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine

            and work your way through

            the tldr is Russia invaded Ukraine, they were planning to take the place over in 3 days, they were obviously not planning on shaking hands with Zelensky, they would have killed him and likely put in a puppet government

              Yah, that’s how typical illegal wars are conducted. Fight your way to the leader, then kill the leader, ending the war.

              That’s very different than tracking the leader for weeks before, and throwing one of the first missiles at his head. It’s like using an assassination to kick off your war.

              They’re both terrible. But different.

                Well Putin tried multiple times to assassinate Zelensky but failed, so it’s not really THAT different

                https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_attempts_on_Volodymyr_Zelenskyy

                The main difference is that Putin and Russia suck

          I believe so, yes. They lost a lot of their really top guys in the early days of the war on Hail Mary operations like that.

          Think so! They were just going to pop in and be greeted like heroes!

          Small miscalculation by all of Putin’s yes men
