No math will stop Putin

Russian terrorists continue to bang their heads against Kyiv's air defense wall with vigor and energy, firing their best missiles for purposes only they can understand

And what is the bottom line for them?

They take 6 Kinzhals, a doomsday weapon whose name should give Biden a heart attack and Medvedev a hysteria.

Pros: they scratched the Patriot system and punctured a wheel in one of the launchers.

Cons: The world realized that the Russians, as usual, were lying to everyone, and their weapons are not so terrible, which means that they can cross the red lines drawn by imagination faster and give Ukraine other weapons, primarily aircraft, more quickly.

They take dozens of Iskanders that are not afraid of sanctions or humor and are supposed to scare Europe with their proximity, and they fire them day and night.

Pros: They broke Budanov's windows.

Cons: Iskanders made the whole of Europe laugh and now there is no reason to be afraid of them. And Budanov is very angry.

“The Russians do some very strange math. To lose the image of a country whose weapons can frighten the whole world in order to scratch the Patriot system and break the windows of Budanov.”

The Russians do some very strange math. To lose the image of a country whose weapons can frighten the whole world in order to scratch the Patriot system and break the windows of Budanov (Ukraine’s military intelligence chief – ed.). And for the domestic audience, you can tell them that you have already destroyed all the Patriots and all the decision-making centers.

However, the outside world sees everything perfectly. And it draws conclusions. And if the Russians can be convinced that the 'special military operation' is going according to plan and victory is coming soon, the US and Europe are less and less afraid of Russian weapons, and China is more and more shocked by who it has to deal with. And such conclusions lead to consequences.

But if you have started to disgrace yourself, you have to disgrace yourself to the end. And no math will stop Putin.
