This is something that continues to astound me. Everyone is in agreement that Putin's "Special Military Operation" was launched with 150,000 Russian troops.

Now, the Western propagandists (to whom you have fallen prey) have never ceased to call this a "full scale invasion".

Any serious military professional can tell you that trying to "invade" a country the size of Ukraine with only 150,000 troops is folly.

To give you some frame of reference, when Hitler invaded Poland (a country much smaller than Ukraine), he did so with 1.5 MILLION troops.

Putin launched his military SMO in the hopes of getting the West to take him seriously.

You seem to think that Putin wants to destroy Ukraine and conduct a war against NATO. This is ABSURD.

Do you not know that throughout this entire conflict, Russian gas has continued to flow from Russia through Ukraine to Western Europe?

The Russian gas pipelines that go through Ukraine remain untouched. Why is that???
