Putin was holding back the entire time
-
the only rational explanation for his restraint was that he wanted to minimize civilian casualties and damage to critical infrastructure
-
this desire to minimize collateral damage makes Putin a better man than all of the Western commanders who indiscriminately carpet bombed their enemies in virtually every major conflict since WW2
-
at this point, if Western media are speaking, they’re lying
-
everyone on this board who thought the Ukraine was winning this war, or that Russia was somehow outmatched, is a fucking retard

Putin isn't good.. but at least they're isolationist though.
Frankly, the US waging profitable proxy wars on Russia (and soon China, maybe even North Korea) is worse, taken together with acting holier-than-though despite lying politicians and MSM, moving ever towards a sort of western technological and corporate authoritarianism via fake democracy.. Makes them worse.
I mean, I would place "not killing civilians en masse" as par, not "good".
Which is already ahead compared to what the CIA and other US forces already do around the world.
While I think there is no evidence of anything other than out of control troops, aggressive tactics, and a politicide campaign against loyalists, I di not think Putin is trying to massacre the Ukrainian people.
