      I don’t know what they were expecting.

      They got too high on their own propaganda and copium supply

      They had planned for Ukraine to be taken in a matter of days. Take Kyiv, replace the government with their own puppet, and done. So much for that plan when they find themselves targetted by drones, a short-lived military coup, tank and infantry warfare against NATO gear, and the rest of this mess. Imploding Russia’s credibility as a military power.

      After Georgia and Crimea, probably not. A Yes Man advisor probably got asked about invasion scenarios and told Putin what he wanted to hear.
