This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

That whole thread by Kasparov is very good.

They could not even equip the first bunch of mobilized troops and are already reduced to using convicts. They have to rebuild their army equipment to pre war levels which will probably take 10 years minimum. And they talking massive expanding. Just complete clowns.
I have a theory they keep running trains with the same tanks back and forth to make it look like they have much more equipment than they really have.
 
An example of Russian propaganda. The fake version where they moved the President's had was all over Twitter yesterday.

I think Putin underestimated the WH and how Biden could unite NATO against Russia.

He never planned on an extended invasion. And once a quick victory became a dream, it was too late for him to change plans.

Biden and staff get credit, but there wouldn’t have been this virtually unilateral support but for Russia’s tactics, track record, and the recognition that Russia was coming for them next.

Agree. And I think one aspect that has been talked of before that I still think is true is: I think even now, Putin is given tons of alternative facts. I really think he is a victim of his own propaganda machine because they are in so deep nobody is capable of telling him the truth. Ever. I honestly think he has no idea just how bad he is losing and how much damage his military has suffered and how dwindled their army is. It is pretty stunning, and in some ways a fitting end to his end days. It is also a common thing for these guys. Hitler was being lied to in the end.
 
Did Putin underestimate before or after Biden gave the go ahead for a minor incursion into Ukraine?
Both, imo.

Putin thought he had a Trump level moron in charge and that was a huge error on his part.

I think I speak for millions of Mericans in saying I'm sick and fvcking tired of Dem Presidents having to clean up rhe mistakes of Republican Presidents.
