Russian government spokespeople say lots of things.

Very few of them are true, or accurate.

Oh it's a bit dumber than that. Russia tried to occupy Afghanistan in the 1980s and got fuckin romped worse than the US did and that was with peak Russian power and no near endless supply of Russia surplus for insurgents to use.

Maybe they're saying Zelensky will make another 9/11 like Osama did after we supported him in Afghanistan?

e: ya'll ever hear the old addage "don't downvote the messenger"? go and downvote putin or something.

USSR went there on the request of their government at the time (unlike America's rampage invasion) and withdrew after the USA heavily armed extremely backwards Muslim extremists who were doing every war crime in the book

It's still a better ending than a 20 year war (u lost lmao)

You're trying to make a point but it's idiotic since you don't know my stance on anything, you're just guessing and poorly at that I might add.

They seem say whatever would be best for them regardless of truth, so you can't even rule out what they say like if they consistently lied.
