... Igor Girkin's cult of military morons, who fucked my brain for decade with this 2014 BS based only on a single phrase about "mistake" by Vladimir Putin a few years back based solely on his emotional human reaction. Here is he verbatim today:
Translation: MOSCOW, May 4 — RIA Novosti. Russia could not proceed with any drastic decisions on Ukraine without carrying out work in the security sphere, President Vladimir Putin made such statements in the documentary film by Saida Medvedeva and Pavel Zarubin "Russia. The Kremlin. Putin. 25 Years" on the Rossiya 1 TV channel. "We could not proceed with any drastic moves without carrying out the corresponding work in the security sphere, in the sphere of building the armed forces and in the sphere of economy and finance," the head of state said. He also noted that Russia did not begin the special operation earlier, since it sought a peaceful settlement of the situation in Donbass. Moscow, according to Putin, counted on compliance with the Minsk agreements by all parties. "But, as it turned out, we were simply deceived. <...> They simply took a pause under the pretext of the need to comply with the Minsk agreements in order to rearm Ukraine and prepare for war with Russia," the president emphasized.
Any of these "strategerists" wants to challenge what has been stated non-stop about 2014, and why Girkin (aka Strelkov) is nothing more than fucking (and militarily illiterate) creep who wanted to start bloodshed in Donbass in 2014 to get Russian involved directly and emerge as "savior". That is why Putin literally begged not to hold referendum in 2014. Yes, unlike internet "strategerists", Vladimir Putin is advised by the best people in business ranging from military to intel, to economy to foreign affairs. So, the issue of COFM (Correlation of Forces and Means) as the first derivative of REAL economy moves the world. Those who think that assessments done on emotions and wants can substitute a real long-term strategic planning--take a look at the US today. To those who want to correct Vladimir Putin--Kremlin's contacts are at this link, write, show them those stupid people in Moscow how one needs to fight.
