I don't understand the logic here. When the putsch occured and then ignomously fizzled out, I saw Putin as weak for letting Pringles walk out with a (relative) slap on the wrist. Taking Prigo out of the picture was overdue. Obviously, anyone would feel threatened by an semi-autonomous mercenary army, so removing its leadership and breaking it up is just a rational course of action that probably should have been done sooner from that POV
If they took him out before the deal was made sure, this soon after just shows weakness and a lack of credibility. They did the equivalent to getting into a bar fight, talking it out instead and then in front of every one sucker punching the other guy.
you know you don't have to forcibly try to interpret every event as a sign of Russian weakness
They were losing a war to a bunch of tractors and their flagship was sunk by a country without a navy.
It's not Russian weakness, it's Russian stupidity.
were? so you admit that Russia is winning?
besides, this is not what this thread is about, go cope to someone who cares
No, they were losing to tractors, and Moskva was sunk without a navy.
Now they're getting real gear and training to play.
The only thing Russia ever wins are Darwin awards. Fucking being proud of almost hurting a country a fraction of your size right next door, like the US being proud of conquering Ottawa.
Say hi to those F-16s for me.
I'm sure they'll be just as effective as the Leopards, the ghost of kieyiev will destroy the entire Russian army
They don't need a ghost of Kyiv, they know the ultimate weakness of all Russians:

You guys are going to suffer, and I would feel bad if you hadn't started this whole nightmare.
All of Europe hates Russia with an all-consuming passion, except sometimes Serbia.
And... that's where you live! That's like all my neighbors thinking I'm a piece of shit and me saying "Oh yeah, well there are people in North Korea who don't hate me!"
wrong, guess again
Enlighten us then, we are not guessing.
"please send me your location and full legal name"
See this is why no one can take you people as anything but a joke. Multiple people have asked for your opinion, position, argument, or any thing that would allow someone to seriously discuss anything, but you just reply with a joke, meme or provocation. What inside joke is this law enforcement agent from another country have to do with anything?
respectfully, I'm not here for serious discussions
Fair enough, can we ask you keep the light trolling to the less serious posts?
yes
