I love this game! Let's review:
1) Do you have any proof the Putin is right about Zelensky? Since you call it Putin's opinion, and opinions are not facts, they can not be PROVED or DISPROVED. Do you have any proof that Putin doesn't channel his feminine energy by wearing dresses while having intercourse and performing unspeakable acts on barnyard animals?
2) And what is Putin's plan for keeping medium range nuclear missiles out of Finland and Sweden when they join NATO this summer? What's his plan to keep medium range nuclear missiles out of Estonia and Latvia (if they're not there already), and also border Russia? So, Putin's plan to keep NATO off his borders is going to drive at least two countries to join NATO, one of which shares an extensive border with Russia, and that's if Ukraine does not join NATO once defeating Russia.
3) I'm not sure that you understand what the phrase "extremely aggressive" means (even if you put it in all caps!) I think the country that's being extremely aggressive is the one that launched an all-out invasion of their neighbor (i.e., RUSSIA!) It would be good if you could keep you feminine energy, beta tendencies in check for just one post. You start you post by mentioning the "grotesqueness and terror of combat" but then accuse the US and NATO of being "extremely aggressive" because they're supplying anti-tank weapons and intelligence? Are you effin' kidding me? If the US wanted to be extremely aggressive, there would be tomahawk missiles turning the Kremlin into a pile a rubble. If the US wanted to be extremely aggressive, the Russian navy would be fertilizing the floor of the Black Sea.
And what does Russia do after they've picked a "map grid and kill" (N.B., that sounds extremely aggressive to me)? They've demonstrated no ability at actually project force and occupy significant territory. I'm sure the US is aggressively supplying Ukrainian forces with intelligence that they will use to selectively target Russian troops and supply lines. The more this becomes a war of attrition, the more screwed Russia is. They can't replace equipment that they're losing, they probably can't get replacement parts to perform proper maintenance of aircraft or armored vehicles due to sanctions, and they're burning through their currency reserves. How'd Rubles for gas turn out? Europe said, "nope!" and Russia said, "ok!" The US / NATO / Ukraine have a basically unlimited budget and supply of equipment. Russia's ONLY hope of winning was to take Kyiv on day 1 and declare victory. That clearly didn't happen.
