[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 29 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children) It wasn't a war but a quick special operation, lasting a few days top, since they were destroying everything by air. Then they started saying that maybe a few special forces would put boots on the ground but it was going to be fast. Now, the oil is raising but it will be a matter of "weeks, not months" before it turns back normal. I kinda like how the optimism is slowly fading. Let's see how long before they start talking of "months, not years". permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Zier@fedia.io 24 points 5 months ago This is exactly what putin said about Ukraine.
