I’ve always held that position. Ukraine is so corrupt. Tinyman Z is not a legitimate leader. Russia could blow through Ukraine like a hot knife through butter if wanted, but is doing systematic destruction of key DS hubs instead.
True, if Russia had wanted a full scale war, Kiev would already look like Gaza, but instead Russia started only a small special military operation and is doing everything to prevent unnecessary civilian casualties.

Yes. A lot of us see it this way too. Even though we obviously are not privvy to a lot of pertinent info.
Getting rid of Zelensky and Nato presence without further delay, seem essential
There would be terrible civilian casualties, something Russia doesn't want.

They're trying to goad NATO into doing shit because they damn well know that Trump would refuse for America to be involved.
Putin needs his army for the war to come. You haven't seen anything yet.
As a student of history, frankly, I'm surprised he hasn't unleashed the old ww2 soviet steamroller tactics.
Unlike last time, with nukes covering the East, he's free to move all that artillery to Ukraine.
