I hate how “anti-war” has been hijacked by these people to mean, let imperialist countries invade whoever they want with no consequences. (in the case of tankies, any imperialist country that isn’t in NATO).

3 day operation that is now in its 3rd year...

Isn't this idea that the conflict was intended to last only 3 days something the media says to portray the russians as weak and incompetent?

Afaik at this stage of the conflict they're fighting so Ukraine can reclaim its lost territories. They've been at this stage for a long time and it doesn't seem doable. This is why many lefties are against the war. Because if you know there's no chance to win but you keep fueling the flames, you're just sending those people to die just to weaken the enemy, which is a pretty shitty thing to do.

Anyway this is just one point of view, might be a very stupid one, but I think it's worth taking into consideration.

Russia clearly stated at the start it would only take them 3 days. Russian officers had pre-booked tables in Kyiv restaurants on the 4th day. They were that confident it was going to be over that quickly.
