What hubris? They did what they needed to in supporting Ukraine and it’s been incredibly successful, given popular sentiment was Ukraine would fall within days of the invasion. Are you just going to ignore Russian hubris here, invading a giant sovereign nation and exposing the weaknesses in your military along the way? Lmao
Given that Russia could always go scorched earth on Ukraine with heavy bombing campaigns like NATO countries do on their targets, they could have made Ukraine “fall” within days if destruction was their aim. We should all be thankful that their approach has been less brutal and barbaric than those of the EU, UK, and US.
We are now seeing small-scale examples of what was always on the table re: the Ukrainian power grid. It could have been gone literally overnight at any point in the last 2+ years.
It has been clear for some time that the RF is resigned to a slow meat grinder for Ukrainian troops, as any real negotiations were taken off the table by Ukraine’s real masters in the US and Europe.
I didn’t say amusing, I said funny, as in weird. And the answer is their hubris.

Maybe making progress during year three of your three day special military operation isn’t really something to celebrate.
The whole 3 day narrative came from the west. It’s pretty hilarious that people keep parroting it today. Show me a single official Russian source ever saying anything of the sort. Meanwhile, here’s an analysis from the Royal United Services Institute written by a person who actually has a clue. Happy coping https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/attritional-art-war-lessons-russian-war-ukraine
I swear the more propagandized someone is the more confident. Do you still believe in the Ghost of Kyiv and that Putin is at death’s door as well? Or the Nayirah testimony or Hussein’s WMDs or Gaddafi’s Viagra army or Hamas’ raping spree?
I implore you to consider developing better media literacy.
