My best guess is that he knows an imperial war is harder to sell than a war of self-defense like WWII. Hence the conflicting justifications he’s given Russians: it’s just defending Russian speakers but also about Ukraine wanting to destroy Russia but just the Neo-Nazis in Kyiv — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve had reporting that even people in Russia were surprised by how broad an invasion this is. And it contrasts the way that Putin has framed it at home. Which also begs the question: why decouple/undersell how this “operation” tied to his vision for a restored Russia? — PolitiTweet.org

“So we’re only recognizing the independence of these two territories but also we’re attacking the whole country and forcing it to demilitarize because NATO” is way more complex than “because it was ours and should be again.” And yet Putin is leaning on the former. — PolitiTweet.org
