Two protestors have climbed to the top of the Empire State Building with a flag that reads:
"When the power of love beats the love of power, the world will know peace."
⚡ BREAKING: Zelensky has ordered the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) to launch a 40-day operation aimed at forcing Russia toward peace.
Looks like the next 40 days are going to be very hot.
One question about Russian mindset has been stuck in my head for a long time🇷🇺🤔
What the fuck was the Kremlin thinking?
Seriously.
Russia had trade with Europe. It was making money from oil and gas. It had influence. It had Crimea. It had Donbas under constant pressure. It wasn’t isolated.
Then it launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Did they really believe Ukrainians wouldn’t fight? Did they really believe the West would just sit back and watch?
Did they really think nuclear threats would make everyone surrender?
Or did they simply believe that force always wins because that’s the only language they’ve known for generations?
Whatever the answer is, this has turned into one of the biggest strategic miscalculations of the 21st century.
