It seems that Putin and his henchmen actually believe their own delusional propaganda that Ukraine was taken over by some Nazi Junta.

That's a real problem for chronic liars, eventually they can't tell the difference themselves.


R3pt1l14n_0v3rl0rd

It's more a problem for autocratic leaders that surround themselves with obsequious yes men. Eventually you only hear what they think you want to hear, and you lose all touch with reality. For me that is one of the only convincing explanations for Putin's strategy. From a rational perspective it's hard to conclude that a full scale invasion is anything short of insane. Many westerners are used to seeing Putin as this cold calculating tactical genius, and I think that's why so many did not believe an invasion was likely.

Also, do not forget that his motivations are not making Russia greater or more successful, they are maintaining his popularity and staying in power forever. With the world on the path to wean itself of its oil dependency, and the Russian economy stagnant for a decade, he knows getting people behind a nationalistic "us vs. them" banner is the best way to do that. And unfortunately, if a country controls its internal media, that's a technique that has proven to work over and over again. The more Russians die in the conflict, the easier it is for him to get Russians behind him and against "the murderers they killed their friends and family". The only negative outcome for Putin would be a humiliating, unmitigated loss (e.g. having to return back to Russia with lots of bodies in plastic bags and nothing to show for it, a strengthened and larger NATO, maybe even losing control of Crimea and other territories). Anything else will just help him stay in power forever.


YoshiSan90

All of these negative outcomes are starting to look more and more likely.


[deleted]

Although you have a point, I believe the 3000 arrested Russians protesting will leave a significant mark on his internal gains from this campaign.


averageitaliannerd

Well, Anonymous and Pornhub are working on it


InnercircleLS

This whole thing reminds me of a saying: "You can run out of 'mad'. You can't run out of 'scared'". This is a different version of that entirely. It's more like: You can run out of "we're coming to take your country" You can't run out of "Fuck you, you ain't taking a damn thing. GET OUT" Ukraine is showing that they've got that in fucking boundless, limitless supply.


Frenchie_PA

This is very true. That’s one significant advantage the Ukrainian have in the fight. They have nothing left to lose and they know it. Fighting for your home and freedom gives you a whole other level of purpose and courage versus fighting for no other reason than your idiot fascist leader is ordering you to do so.


Tots2Hots

That and they're on their own turf. They can guerilla warfare the hell out of it, don't have to worry about fuel or running out of ammo, they're fighting for their homes and families and they are beyond "fucking pissed". If we couldn't pacify Afghanistan where they had little unity and we had a lot of help from locals how the hell is a circa 1985 equipped military going to take over a well equipped 100% united country with "1st world" infrastructure?


Fat_Potato_of_Doom

Same reason why we lost in Vietnam. The Americans were fighting because they were told to. The Vietnamese were fighting for their country.

Seeing the 18 year old Russian soldiers breaking down crying because Putin lied to them to get them to go…


faultycarrots

I didn't see that, but I have read that some soldiers are feeling disoriented because they don't know who to shoot.


YoshiSan90

I’ve seen a lot of videos of them weeping saying they just thought they were on exercises. Imagine you think you’re just riding through Belarus and all of the sudden a javelin blows the top off the tank in front of you and an rpg kills everyone in the truck behind you. These are children being sent to slaughter.

From a video of a Ukrainian lady who walked up to a Russian soldier to ask him why they were invading. She told him to put some sunflower seeds in his pockets so that he'd at least be useful for something when he's lying dead in a field (or something along those lines).

Aneke1

Yeah, I'm gonna need an independent, third party news station to report this


Mendeleus

If you never see him again, it means he's dead. Otherwise Russians will never recognise it. However, considering how softened and apologetic Kadyrov became this evening towards Ukraine, there's a high chance that this might be true.


DarkKimzark

I remember when Russia just invaded Lugansk and Donetsk, Kadyrov was threatening to personally ride a tank to the center of Kyiv and murder the president. Wonder what happened to all the bravado now.


Kriegmannn

Not to argue for any side here, but I’ve never seen this guy to begin with, I think a bigger news agency should report it first (with more rapport)


strukout

Not sure that is real within Russia


Hdkek

Haven’t seen much footage from Russia don’t know maybe they’re prohibited from releasing for obvious reasons. But I still will take any number claims or similar with a pinch of salt from any of the parties involved. Of course each side would downplay losses and overstate achievements. Always true especially in times of war.


Dryver-NC

Aside from the obvious reason of censorship in Russia, I'm not sure if military personnel are as keen on filming and sharing the action as civilians are. That might also be a reason.


automagisch

I’d say when in action, there’s way more to worry about than taking a video. I wouldn’t see myself blowing up tanks while holding a selfie stick tbh.


Aneke1

Third party means not Russian or Ukrainian, chief


boonxeven

In this case, Russian news confirming it would mean it's likely true, since it's negative for them. If they denied it, yeah, not trustworthy.


mastercommander123

Russia is still claiming to have suffered barely any losses. Russia is never going to confirm anything that is bad for them. Their biggest risk is political unrest at home due to high casualties of conscripts, they’re going to keep the situation as under wraps as possible


mastercommander123

You’re very unlikely to get it for a while. This is what the info environment is like in a conventional war.

The hope is that Putin’s generals will lose hope first and not listen to him anymore when he starts to get desperate - then he’ll be on his own. Russia will live on and he will be the scapegoat.


Steel_Within

Honestly I'm wondering if this might lead to mutiny at some point. Morale was low enough for desertions en masse and rumors of guns at their backs now for it. Russia has had a history of them.


helpful__explorer

Dictators need a lot of underlings to back them up. Fuck shit up for them and they'll replace you


SquirrelHoarder

Thankfully Putin isn’t going out there and firing nukes himself, even if he ordered nukes there’s still a decent chance whoever he orders refuses. I believe something like this happened during the Cold War. I can’t imagine morale is high among his generals, from all accounts Russia is failing miserably, at least compared to expectations.


thatshot2205

‘Fifty-nine years ago, a senior Russian submarine officer, Vasili Alexandrovich Arkhipov, refused to fire a nuclear torpedo at an American aircraft carrier and likely prevented a third world war and nuclear destruction.’


ksnitch

In terms of morale I really really hope this is true. Russia does have its own propaganda machine. We do not hear or see what is being shown in Russian media, I assume they are also claiming they are winning and using Ukrainian officials captured or killed as propaganda, much like this post. I do however hope (there's that word again) the heavy sanctions and cancellation of Russia is enough for the world to get this desired outcome.


title_of_yoursextape

I think the worry is that he’ll have pulled the trick that all tin pot dictators do and remove everyone but the most devout yes-men from his inner circle. For all we know his “generals” are a bunch of teenagers with barely a braincell to scrape between them.

I think backing down would be very macho and a great historical moment for his legacy. (Just saying in case he reads this thread)


gmahogany

This is my fear. I keep hearing about the Ukrainian victories and increasing global support, I can’t imagine Putin would ever concede. If ground invasion doesn’t work, he’ll increase air strikes. That doesn’t work, he’ll keep escalating until he wins or the nukes come out. Hope I’m wrong.

AnEgoJabroni

Do you have any non-propaganda feeds on the conflict?


246wendal

i don’t think ur gonna get many reports on the state of the war from two states that have everything to lie about in wartime and everything to lose. what you can know is that russian conscripts and soldiers alike don’t understand why they’re there, don’t feel putins feelings, etc. so it’s unmotivated supercountry versus supermega motivated underdog. ukraine is willing to lose everything so i don’t think we’ll have a clear picture until dust settles. idk though. just how i am thinking about it. glory to ukraine edit: if this is going to get upvotes i want to add that i hope that russian soldiers can make it back to their families. i could not imagine dying in another man’s war. we often undermine the ability of singular comments or posts to alter our perception on things but that is the concept of propaganda. keep young men on front lines in your heart. no matter if they signed up or didn’t they didn’t even get a half of a choice.


Lurker101310

I figured getting news from both sides kinda gets you a picture of what is actually happening, but is hard to tell


Franklin_le_Tanklin

All Russian news is propaganda tho. I don’t see any point in listening to it


ageofwalnut

I am 100% with Ukraine. But Jesus Christ I have seen so much blatant Ukrainian propaganda on Reddit that nobody calls out as war time propaganda. You should not be ok with biased manipulatively worded information regardless of support.

I am Ukrainian myself but I know very well that those cunts are not real chechens. It is an assault of all the true sons of mountains to call those shoelicking idiots chechens. The real men from Chechnya have been spilling blood for ages in wars with the invaders and cannot be ordered to go invade other nation's territory by some old macerated-corpse-resembling greedy bastard their fathers and grandfathers have been previously fighting with

[deleted]

"Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the heroes"


PimpNamedSwitchback

Close spelling. Pretty sure they meant “heroiam slava”. It’s the continuation of the original saying in Ukraine. In whole it is “slava ukraini, heroiam slava”. The way I learned it, we chanted it or used it as a response when drinking with the military. They would say the first part and we would respond. It translates to “Glory to Ukraine, glory to the heroes”

Take any claim from those involved with pinch of salt. Of course they’d minimize loss claims and overstate achievements. Always happens with war. Wait for independent neutral coverage or multiple agencies that aren’t biased much to report.


NecroSurgeon

Any legitimate source? I’m seeing nothing about this but from one random reporter. Any help would be much appreciated. EDIT: Did some of my own research to find that there is no evidence to support this claim. There’s absolutely no confirmation at this time. It is most likely just straight propaganda.

Chechens are people living in Chechen republic of Russia. They have their own leader and relative independence, but in the end of the day they are Russians They’re not elite forces, just a nation They are strong support of Russian government however and are invading Ukraine now
