  • [OT] Putin reaches milestone

    Putin's "Special Military Operation" first launched Feb 22, 2022, was
    intended to conquer Ukraine in just a few days. It recently reached a
    rather telling milestone: it has now gone on longer than the "Great
    Patriotic War", which is what the Soviets/Russians call WWII. They
    measure it from June 22, 1941 when Hitler's forces and allies invaded
    the Soviet Union, until May 9, 1945, when Hitler was defeated and the
    allies declared victory in Europe.

    That's right: the war that did massive damage to Stalin's Soviet Union
    and pushed his armed forces very far back on their heels before they
    regrouped was in Berlin in less time that it's take Putin to occupy just
    20% of Ukraine!
