I still can't believe it. The only way it makes sense is if Putin thought he was going to end it in a week and was surprised when he didn't, and now I'm personally convinced that all postwar military strategy is basically worthless in the face of modern man-portable anti-tank and anti-air weaponry.
Even if Putin had occupied most of Ukraine I feel like it still would have been a quagmire just more of a CIA counterinsurgency quagmire (this was actually my day 1 prediction for how things would go)

ikr
it looked like an obvious endless quagmire to me
and i'm a fucking idiot lol
I mean I'd say it's been a bit of a drawn out quagmire so far, shit's been brutal and I'm still surprised Russia has had the stomach to deal with it

when Zelensky started talking about acquiring nuclear weapons in the week before the invasion I think that kinda sealed it
