If the intent was to go in, have appearances to perform poorly and look like they are losing, then use it as a reason to enable conscription and draw from the very population you wanted to eliminate, that is just brilliant. One a level of evil like the world has not seen in almost 90 years, but absolute brilliant. The world will be focused on the Ukrainian war and not think twice about the decimation happening to the populations Putin wants to cull from the herd. It would have been like the Germans engaging the Russians first in WWII, but conscripting every Jew and sending them to the eastern front as an act of defense, only allowing them to get slaughtered. Eliminating every able bodied man from these marginalized groups is like a new Passover, and Putin is the angel of death.

Didn’t you make fun of the Trump is a savant argument.
Putin is expending the least political capital he can to try to save face. He is betting on a cold winter to bring the EU into line. That’s about it.
If he murdered is own population the sanctions would be far less. People will freeze to stop Russia from invading Europe. People won’t pay marginally more for disposable garbage to save Ughars.
