Putin’s Missteps: How Ignoring China Could Cost Russia the War

Author: Ni Sigeda

George W. Bush was right; he’s like a child. I’d add that he’s just pretending to be an adult. The war has gone so poorly that even when trying to curry favor with Chechnya and asking for their help, what was the result? They humiliated you and continued as they pleased. And what can you do, Putin?

This war is filled with blunders, the first being a major intelligence failure, which is the most fatal. The officials you appointed have been exchanging intelligence and soldiers’ lives for money, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Second, after such a massive intelligence failure, you still showed restraint, hoping to win people over with virtue (not bombing power stations after the war started, letting tanks parade down the highway) as if they wouldn’t fight back?

Third, you underestimated the enemy’s will to resist, and your operational plans and personnel decisions were reckless and careless. War is a matter of national importance, yet you treat it like a game of chess, thinking, “If I just place this piece here, the opponent will surely surrender” (in this aspect, certain countries surpass Russia). Did you ever think about how to end this? And after failing to end it, you kept making one blunder after another.

Fourth, poor personnel choices—when the battle reached a critical point, you were still playing political games, trying to balance power, which led to the most powerful force, Wagner, turning against you, almost causing a disaster.

And of course, the fifth and most fatal mistake was failing to grasp the main contradiction of the problem: not realizing that only China is truly capable of helping you turn the tide. You should have adopted the most sincere attitude toward us instead of assuming that China is firmly under your control, harassing Chinese companies in Russia without limits, confiscating their properties to fund your front lines, treating us the same as the enemies you’re at war with. You treat the underdeveloped Far East like a treasure, thinking China should pay an exorbitant price to “develop it together”?

This year, you’ve been going to Vietnam and North Korea to stir up trouble for us. To be honest, we’re worried about you when we see you playing these games—not because you’re trying to undermine us, but because your front line hasn’t even settled the score yet, and you’re already distracted, coming to Asia to push us around. What exactly is going on in your mind, Great Leader?

Ukraine has been invading your territory for almost a month now, and Ukraine seems to be getting stronger the longer it fights. How have you responded? Honestly, sometimes I admire the Great Leader—after being beaten black and blue, you still cross your legs and pretend it doesn’t hurt. You go to Azerbaijan, then to Chechnya, and even kiss the Quran. Is any of this useful, Great Leader? They can’t wait for you to die—how much can they really help you, even if they tried their best? Their size is insignificant to the overall situation.

Why aren’t you coming to China to pray for help? If you can’t drive the Ukrainians out of your territory soon, within six months, even your Northern Territories will be in danger!
