Shoigu added that Russia could achieve its military goals with “consistent implementation of the measures in the action until 2025.”
Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin and allies like Shoigu have repeatedly stressed the need to keep Ukraine inside Russia’s sphere of influence, and to defeat what they describe as Ukraine’s “Nazi regime”.
But then they reveal themselves to be weak and straight up idiots. Theres no going back until Russian people get their shit together and get the hold of their country but decades of brainwashing and indifference is preventing any meaningful change. It’s a lost country.
They already did that when they said it would take 2 days and again when it took more than 2 days and they still kept going.
They have revealed that already
Is it brainwashing and indifference, though? Could also be fear of a hostile government. Russia isn’t exactly known for its fair treatment of protesters, dissidents, and activists.
I just came back from SEA and it’s full or Russians either running away from war or pretending everything’s fine. Russian culture is just so extremely toxic that people have completely lost any sort responsibility or sense of understanding. It’s all either somebody else’s fault or “nothing you can change” sort of mentality. It’s not just a few bad apples.
