Current Events > REPORT: Russia begins withdrawing from Crimea

(+) Yeah! (+)

I thought Russia had a top 3 military in the world? How are they getting beat by Ukraine of all countries?

Like, why would Putin think there are Nazi's in the region?

He didn't. That was always propaganda.

Nazis in Ukraine have definitely been a problem. The neo-Nazi Azov group were formally incorporated into the Ukrainian military. Russia has the same situation going on with the Wagner Group though and Putin greatly exaggerated the issue as a pretense for invading.

Theres actually a legit scenario where the United States rolls in and starts claiming some Russian land too, not many people are talking about that

There isn't, unless I'm completely misinformed. What would the benefit(s) be?

Reports seem to indicate that he's spent the better part of two decades slowly and systematically eliminating disagreeable-yet-competent military / government figures and replacing them with corrupt, pocket-lining yes-men. If so, the Ukraine invasion is the sudden yet inevitable comeuppance of his kleptocracy: the tanks don't work because no one in power invested the time / money to maintain them, the army's green because no one in power invested the time / money to train them, etc.

How did Putin blow a 3-1 lead

Sweet Jesus

This seems like it's either good news or very bad news.

My thoughts >_> Either they're withdrawing cuz they lost, or they're about to nuke Ukraine

Sounds like natural causes, I'd say

I could see multiple countries "peacekeeping" if there were a total collapse of the Russian state but I'm not sure that's likely

That's how Red Alert 2 and 3 started!!!!

If they are pulling troops out of strategically important areas to reinforce a collapsing front, it means they have very little left in the way of actual reserves, and are getting extremely desperate. It means the front is collapsing so badly, that any pretext of rear line defenses are gone, and they're holding out all hope that whatever they can throw at the front will be enough to hold.
