Nearly five months into its senseless war against Ukraine, Russia has concocted a wild new explanation for why the Kremlin’s plans for a quick takeover fell apart so spectacularly—because Ukrainian troops were turned into superhuman killing machines during “secret experiments” in American-run biolabs, of course.

Russia will demilitarize and denazify Ukraine which lost its sovereignty in 2014 and became US colony. This goal will be accomplished whatever it takes. Russia will not tolerate hostile US colonies at its borders.

I expect you are right, elimanating the few hundred Ukrainian Nazis will be easy especially their Nazi children. (Russian Federation has more Nazis than Ukraine) Then annexing eastern Ukraine to provide the landbridge to Sevastapol and its naval port continuing dominance of the Black Sea plus stealing Ukraine's major industial region to further deprive their economic future.
The cost to Russia: 10s thousands of Russia's finest young men sent to their deaths for the benefit of Russia's billionaire Kleptocrats. You know the KGB guys who stole the Russian people's Nationalized assets and divided it out amongst themselves.
30 years of building trust and friendships between ordinary people on both sides destroyed.
Creation of a new Iron Curtain with massivly increased defensive / offensive capabilities stretching from 100km west of Murmansk down to Sarp on Turkiye's Black sea cost.
Kalinigrad Oblast increasingly isolated.
It is telling that none of the former Eastern European 'client states' of Russia wish to return to their previous status. Having witnessed an unprecedented increase in their standards of living since those days of oppression.
Like the Germans of WW2 Russians will hang their heads in shame at what was done in their name a decade from now.
