    Show me where Putin claimed he’d take Kyiv in 3 days.

        That’s very generous, thinking Putin would ever stick his dick in any of these tankies’ holes.

        They’re all just useful idiots, not even worth a bag of onions.

        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 didn’t even know Putin claimed he’d take Kyiv in 3 days until you said something and got all upset about it, brochacho. But now that you made us all look it up, I’m definitely repeating it to everyone, everywhere.

              Can you tell me more things that make Putin look like a fool? Since that seems to be what your goal is.

          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.
