Soviets still tucked tail as soon as someone called their bluff. Standard weak nation behavior. Big brave bully until you have to actually stand up to someone.
It ain't 1962 anymore little fella.
There are more betas like yourself today than ever in human history.
I imagine back in 1962, useful idiots were a bit more...useful. i doubt you and your fellow CCCP propagandists are changing minds with the human centipede act.

Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration turned over intelligence to communist China for months about Russia’s plans to invade Ukraine in an attempt to get China to convince Russia to not invade, according to a report. “...

Communists vote Democrat moron...
You are the one furiously supporting Vlad with dozens of posts per hour. Vlad is the life-long communist. Whether that makes you a communist, an idiot, or just mentally unstable, we'll never know for sure.

Just a brain-dead right winger. Nothing more, and certainly nothing less, as being a right winger these days is scraping the bottom of the barrel

Why do you idiots think insulting someone regardless of the evidence is useful? I haven't said anything to support Putin. Acknowledging that Russia is powerful doesn't make someone a communist...
The Russian stock market has tanked and their already impoverished economy will only get worse as international sanctions kick in. The members of Putin's cosmopolitan oligarch inner circle are nervous and are about to be individually targeted by western governments. There are massive anti-war protests near the Kremlin. The Ukrainian army/people are not going to go down without a fight and Russia will suffer many losses and this neat little invasion could quickly turn into an ongoing boondoggle. Russia's standing in the world has been set back decades. And for what? As if they needed even more barren, crappy land. Putin fancies himself a great leader, but really he's just an egomaniacal zealot who is setting his country on fire for no good reason. This is a bad day for the world but clearly the beginning of the collapse of Putin's regime. Wouldn't be surprised if he "trips" and falls out of a balcony in the near future.
What a surprise, the loser who refers to himself as "the adult in the room" is incapable of expressing himself succinctly and is forced to resort to spam-posting and whiny insults to compensate. "You're all dumb and weak and soy! I am an adult!" The demeanor of a foolish, fake tough guy. Very Putin-esque.
In the real world, Putin continues to lose. 150 senior Russian officials signed a letter condemning Putin's the invasion. Protests near the Kremlin are still ongoing, despite an attempted crackdown on dissent an the arrest of 1000s of anti-war russian citizens the day before. NATO is ramping up sanctions and targeting Putin personally and have deployed forces to Ukraine's neighboring countries; there will now be much more of a western military presence close to Russia's borders than there ever was before. Public opinion on Russia is in the tank and their ambassadors are being harassed in western countries. The invasion has not yet succeeded and the innocent, brave people of Ukraine are going to be lighting Russian soldiers on fire with molotov cocktails once they start entering more populated areas. There is no clear end game, either. What's Russia planning to do? Install a puppet regime that will be overthrown in a matter of months/years? Putin is such a moron.
The deputies said they were 'convinced' Russian citizens do not back the war and blamed Putin 'personally' for ordering an invasion, warning it will lead to 'catastrophic consequences'.
65% of Russia's exports are fossil fuels. Have you noticed what fossil fuel prices did in the wake of the invasion? Anything he loses in sanctions will be made up for with increases in revenue from fossil fuel sales.
Correct and Europe gets 35% of it's oil from Russia. Because the US was so stupid, well, Biden in particular, to cancel the XL Pipeline project, Europe has no other avenue to get that 35% of it's fuel from. The Keystone Pipeline project would have helped make America and the EU less dependent on Russian oil. Freakin idiots pandering to green freaks and this is the end result.

Never underestimate ego and the desire to cement one's legacy. That's something that gets overlooked in these country level analyses
This is spot on. I also agree with the OP's general idea that Putin has stupidly written his unfortunate fate in stone. I overestimated Putin as being intelligent and calculating. He is neither. These moves are bold and stupid.
Well to be fair he is old now and his mind might not be as sharp. Also, because his time is running out, he might just throw caution to the wind to try to cement some kind of grand legacy.
2017-2020 Putin invaded USA with the help of....Donnie. Wasn't Donnies 1st call to a foreign leader to Putin? Lets not forget Putin's visit to the Whitehouse.
As is typical of a decaying state, Russian columns have stalled against the slightest resistance in Ukraine. They clearly didn’t expect anyone to stand up to them. Typical hubris of a state over a Century past it’s peak. Sadly they will probably turn to indiscriminately slaughtering civilians now. Meanwhile fanboys continue posting in support of these war criminals.

The soldiers were lied to by Putin. They were told there were doing an exercise, not that would invading.
