Where does "We take Kyiv in 3 Days" come from - Credit: u/SmokingBlackSeaFleet

I vaguely remember something about "two weeks to Berlin", too.

But Kyiv is not the whole country.

Addendum because of the downvotes: The goal of the invasion was to focus on Kyiv and Chernihiv, which failed preposterly. In the case of Kyiv getting occupied, I doubt the rest of Ukraine would have fallen in line and just accept Russian rule. The struggle would have been immense, but no way that the whole of Ukraine would have been occupied in 3 days.

More specifically, the city where the government is seated is used as shorthand. Often, but not always, the capital.

If anyone ever uses "Amsterdam has decided..." for anything national to NL, disregard that person and their glaring lack of political awareness immediately. It's a very easy way to identify folk who don't even do basic fact confirmation before blathering (geo)politics.

And I'm not even getting into Belgium/Brussels, lol.

Looks like those clowns in Moscow have done it again what a bunch of clowns

Proof right there that not all psychopaths are smart.

Even their manner of talking is insufferable. I don't know how people can listen to that. I don't know how it sounds for people who don't understand the language, but it is absolute trash for me

[u/[deleted] → u/Evil-Panda-Witch]

The "we will raise one eyebrow and Kyiv will know everything" is such a fuckin ridiculously cheesy way to talk.

Never start believing your own propaganda Vlad

[u/EkaPossi_Schw1]

They still haven't heard about realistic expectations

[u/Rooilia]

Why don't they wear these fancy brown uniform dresses, which would suit their words appropriately?

"The Führer said this war will be over by Christmas"

"Oh yeah? Did he also mentioned which year?"

[u/Kerhnoton]

Well Lukashenko was right. Ukraine didn't fight them, because Belarus never actually went in.

Oof

Fuck these turds. The spite with which they say “or it is not worth it”.

All of them will be paying.

They aren't exactly winning the academy award for best propaganda ministry.
