[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

The problem is that if Putin is removed, another person just like him (or possibly even worse) will replace him. Russia needs far more than just removing one person to fix the problems they're creating.

To be clear, I am not saying innocent Russians should be harmed; I am saying there is more to their regime than just Putin.

This

There's this myth that Russia will "Get better" without Putin when in reality Putin has spent several decades setting it up to the point where whoever takes over will just do the same thing.

It's the only way to maintain stability in Russia

It would take afull blown revolution from Russians to change Russia and that's not going to happen. It has state media

Oh yes, were in for the long haul. This could turn into a forever war. But Russia has slowly but surely been sewing up eastern Ukraine and the donbass region, which is their endgame. Once Odessa falls to the russians by the end of the year, war is over. Putin walks away with the W and NATO with the L.

This is mother Russia guys, once they go into full meat Grinder mode, they win. Ask napoleon. Ask Hitler.

Wasnt the whole point of the original song that the guy wasn't a good general. He knew everything except what was needed to be a general and that was the joke.

It is like turning a Weird Al song into a serious song when his originals were already parodies.

It's definitely not going according to plan, but the problem is that Russia has the ability to wage war against a neighboring country for a long time. Especially one that isn't a member of NATO.

You're right that someone would just replace Putin, but his replacement may be more pragmatic tham him. Face it, all of this is pretty much Putin desperately wanting to be remembered. I think someone else would find an excuse to stop the war, this really isn't benefiting anyone in Russia right now.

The ideal scenario would of course be to get rid of all the dictators, but the good enough one is having Putin replaced by someone who sees the political value of fucking off. Either way, Putin being 'removed' is likely a positive.

But at what cost? With how many tanks Russia has lost already and their inability to produce more in any meaningful numbers, will Russia have any tanks left at the end of the year?

That really depends on what your goals are.

The resources, the stratgetic importance of the land etc.

Russia hasn't accomplished any of it's long term military goals.

I hate to Godwin's law this but when Nazi Germany occupied less than 20% of France they had already won. Because they took Paris, the majority of French Infastructure and 75% of their resources

Meanwhile when Australia was preparing for an invasion by Japan (that ultimately never happened) the official strategy of the Aussies was to run away and fuck off to Brisbane.

They control the water and are secure as fuck. Japan can occupy as much of the desolate wastleland as they want and fucking best of luck trying to erect military bases and supply lines there.

As I said it never happened but in theory you could occupy like 79% of Australia and not have shit

I'm 19 episodes in and I find his character on the Mr Bean side of funny, which means good. Plus the show was created in 2015 after Russia took Crimea, I was surprised that the show was in Russian rather than Ukrainian.

Both this and Barney's song are parodies if "The Major General's Song" from the 19th century musical comedy Pirates of Penzance. It's telling how well received it was that it's still culturally relevant more than 130 years later.
