      Oh my bad, for some strange reason I had assumed you were talking about Putin in a comment chain devoted to talking about Putin.

          Bruh, you literally just linked to a paragraph that makes the claim that the idea of a three-day conquest came purely out of American and Ukrainian speculation. This is exactly what I’m saying, save for that one Lukashenko quote.

          I’m not going to get into the weeds with you about the invasion, but I am going to call you out for sheisty implied quotes. Any reasonable and adequately uninformed person would read your “three day war” comment in response to a comment chain about putin and assume you were talking about putin. You deserve to get called out for that. It’s misleading and disingenuous.

        I wouldn’t say the comment chain is talking about Putin, but someone aggrandising Putin.

          They’ve moved on from “Putin didn’t say that” to “it was just speculation” because this was never actually about Putin to them, it was about justifying Russia’s invasion.
