WFoL,
Do you know the reason for a feint?
Got it, it's a "fEiNt."

PooTin sacrifices thousands of troops, dozens of high-ranking officers, hundreds of tanks, helicopters, planes, and other hardware that costs 7-8 digits each, all to draw the oh-so-fearsome Ukrainian military away from the "real objective."

Just for you, WFoL. "kYiV wAs a fEiNt" ...


Key points (from the video itself starting at 15:55):
  • Far too costly to be a feint
  • Not executed in the manner of a feint
  • Kyiv has its own defensive capability - asymmetry in committed vs. diverted assets
  • Redeployment practicality
  • Highly politically costly
  • Can't be reconciled with the claim being made to justify the withdrawal (i.e. if Ukraine's military was destroyed, why not simply march into Kyiv right now?)
Conclusion: Either false or very poorly planned and executed

Caveat: This is supposition, not data.
