    Putins comments to reporters said two weeks, the intercepted plans lay out a two week strategy those are estimates.

    You get that attrition is the dumbest possible thing to use a strategy when you start a surprise war with an overwhelming disparity of force right? Like choosing the way most wars are lost as a strategy reenforces the fact they’re quagmired.

    Again you miss the point, a group of grown men shouldn’t not lose slower they should have already won and handily at that.

        he spent more than two hours with Khan discussing the minutiae of Moscow and Islamabad’s bilateral relations. Putin came across as “chilled” during the talks, said a source close to Khan. Afterwards, he invited his guest to stay for an unscheduled, lavish Kremlin lunch. At one point, Khan asked about the elephant in the room: the war that Putin had unleashed a few hours earlier.

        “Don’t worry about that,” Putin told him. “It’ll be over in a few weeks.”

          This is literally someone told that someone else told them something that the third person say to the other person…

          This is only trustworthy because you trust The Guardian.

            It’s intentional, their source is a third party source reporting on a second hand source of a closed meeting that literally cannot be verified because it’s closed door.

            Add to that their source is an entertainment network who in court said they are not a news source, that they do not provide news only entertainment.

            It’s harassing them with a source only mildly more trustworthy then their own.

              So did I genius. What you gave is hearsay. What I asked for is a primary source of Putin or any other Russian official saying something of the sort on record. It doesn’t exist because the whole story is made up for gullible simpletons such as yourself.

                    No it’s not. There’s no primary source because it’s a closed door meeting ie. Not public and no notes, your source says it’s second hand so why are you arguing it isn’t.

        Which time, he says a few weeks at the start and he’s said it’s coming to a close about as often as trump says Iran has been defeated.

                Looks like the CIA-bot malfunctioned when you provided an actual source that contradicts their claim :^)

                  You’ve provided no such thing. Go read up on what a primary source is instead of making a clown of yourself in public. This is frankly pathetic.
