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

everyone on this board who thought the Ukraine was winning this war, or that Russia was somehow outmatched, is a fucking retard

The reason why the US is able to get away with so much is because all transactions are in USD, and they take their tithe.
The countries bypassing the USD and going direct with each other will do more to destroy this ability than any carrier group. Especially in the current mentally ill genital cutting blood clotting military the US is so obsessed with.
The one thing this conflict has done is light a fire under countries that are now acutely aware they need to get off the petrodollar.
I would say "we punked ourselves" but subverting American economic dominance was always part of the plan.
Who's plan? Because there is no way this was a plan by the Russian's or the Chinese, though most definitely a fervent hope.
The plan that includes the abolishment of countries in any meaningful way and replacement with a global unelected technocracy. Think WEF and old money.
Yep. That definitely jives. We are headed back to feudal times with a Lord class that uses "elected" government as a sock puppet.
Phrasemaker! That's damn good!
