I’m ~~stealing~~ reposting quotes from another thread on this article from elsewhere on reddit
> He lost Russia. When he was given power, Russia had the potential to raise its standard of living like Poland. It was a leader in aerospace. A leader in oil and gas. Western Europe had disarmed. Instead he thought like Ivan the Terrible; conquering land is the path to power and glory, anyone who disagrees is a traitor. Another collapse is coming and Putin is to blame.
>> The parallels with Ivan the Terrible are quite amazing actually. Ivan started the Livonian war because he was afraid of growing Polish influence. Livonia had a treaty with Russia saying they would never join Poland and Lithuania but Ivan invaded anyway. During the war Russia switched from the use of professional soldiers to using mass attacks with poorly trained conscripts. The war dragged on much longer than expected, bankrupting Russia and making Ivan very unpopular (enough for someone to start poisoning him with mercury). The only thing the war achieved was uniting the Baltics, Poland and Sweden in a stronger alliance against Russia. Ivan became paranoid and surrounded by yes men, then died without an heir. This caused a power vacuum and a civil war between the different factions to become tzar. Which lasted 15 years before the Romanovs came out on top.

… who lost in Ukraine.
To lose something you first must have it, but Ukraine was never his, in any sense.
a little bit late for that now…
Lol, what? In what universe he lives in?
He will, tho.
Why so modest, let him be known as the man who lost Ukraine, Belarus and Caucasus
Ahahahahhaa!!!
He would prefer to be remembered as the new Hitler, but no no no, never be remembered for the one to lose something he didn’t even had.
And Putin is the type of guy to shout “If I can’t have it, then nobody can” and then he hits the send nukes button… That’s what got me on edge about this whole thing tbh. I feel like in his head, if he loses, everybody does.
Too bad I guess? He could’ve been the man who saw Russia in the 21st century & depart from the USSR proper but he decided to be a crazy warmonger.
Russia lost Ukraine in 1991, yet via manoeuvring, Put had a lot influence until 2014 and ruined any and all relations by 2022. Pathetic.
Dude, that ship sailed a long time ago.
He killed (and is still killing) thousands of Ukrainians. But is worried how he is going to be remembered.
Build him a Golden Bridge…
Also maybe Russia
Insert World’s smalles violin
He can still be the man who fell out the window
Yes, Putin invaded out of wounded pride (and imperial ambitions) so he could never handle the idea of losing the war he started. He’s put himself in a corner and we’re all in it with him.
Gorbachev is the one who lost it. Putin will be in the books for trying and failing to get it back.
the midget will be remembered in history precisely as that, a fucking intellectual and geopolitical midget.
He can also be the man who put the final nail in the demographic future of his country.
How can you lose something you never had?
Found Moscow as a city of marble and left it one of shit
There is also chance that he will be remembered as the dick who started WW III.
He should probably fear being remembered as someone who collapsed russia because of a senseless war he didn’t have to start
Even if he wins the war he has lost the Ukraine and destroyed Russia in the long term
He already lost Ukraine by choosing to war with his “Slav brothers” using all the tactics of a butcher.
Russia has already lost the loyalty of the Ukrainian people. All the rest of this is just the butcher’s bill.
More like the man who destroyed Russia.
At this rate he’s going down in Ruzzian history as the one who trashed Ruzzia for his ego…👌
There you go, he just acknowledged what we all knew from day one: this war is just his vanity project to leave something to be remembered by in Russian history, since he’s an otherwise forgettable man.
I mean, he can leave this world early and he won’t be the one who lost it wouldn’t he?
Too late. Fuck him
I think it is far more likely that he will Russian history as the man who lost Russia, with a foot note about how he also lost a war in Ukraine.
Why would he fear such an unlikely outcome?
Man putin needs to be shamed so hard, he needs to fail.
I don’t get how he thinks he won’t be written down as a dictator in history books, is he that stupid?
If all the rumors hold true, he’ll not only “lose Ukraine”, but also lose Kaliningrad, the Caucasus, and large parts of eastern Russia
