Does of any of this make sense? We have all the general plebe outlets claiming Russia is losing badly. Over at CFR's publication, Foreign Affairs, they are impressed with the efficiency of the Russian operation. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/2022-02-26/man-behind-putins-military https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/2022-02-26/man-behin... In another thought-space by a former Indian diplomat, we read about how Germany is dropping the peacenik facade and assuming its role on the world stage: https://www.indianpunchline.com/germany-can-no-longer-be-put-down/ https://www.indianpunchline.com/germany-can-no-longer-be-put... -- One thing we can be 100% certain about is that we plebes are not fully informed and we have 0 clue as to what precisely is going on. The question that is begging to be asked is why now? Why not a year ago, or next year? The mad Putin narrative asks us to believe that the entire Russian stakeholders are shaking in their booties because of fear? The army is clearly on board. Lavrov is on board. And for an 'interesting' twist on all this, please note: "[Sergei] Shoigu was awarded the highest award of the Order of Malta. July 7 2012. The Governor of the Moscow Region, former Minister of Emergency Situations Sergei Shoigu, was awarded the highest award of the Order of Malta - the Knight's Military Cross for mercy, salvation and help. The award ceremony took place today at the Italian Embassy in Moscow." [p.s. make a mental of note of "2012" if you read the first cite]
