Maybe it is not Russian military weakness in Ukraine

Is the Russian Federation demonstrating . . .
. . . a non-obliterating pursuit of military aims in Ukraine?
Was emulating Americans' infrastructure-destroying 'shock and awe' never Russia's intent?
Is our perception of Russian military weakness in Ukraine mistaken?
For instance — have you noticed that Ukrainians are still communicating electronically?
Apparently, Russia is not trying to wreck the place.
We know from now numerous American examples, that the first step in any US-style invasion is to knock communications and basic infrastructures out.
Pertinent reasoning from a man supposedly in Kiev
Is he a Russian propaganda plant or not?
Two days ago, YouTuber Coach Red Pill observed that:
I'm doing this stupid video from a hotel room in downtown Kiev. And I'm going to upload it to the Internet.
Do you I'd be able to do it, if the Russians were really serious about conquering Ukraine?
They want to capture it.

Red Pill's also-pertinent comment about Machiavellian evil
Red Pill goes on to assess Zelensky regime's probably self-serving willingness to sacrifice Ukraine's citizens against their own interests.
He points to the below listed elements as proof. These also caught my attention — in exactly the same way that they did Red Pill's — when they were first announced just a few days ago:
Ukraine regime's ridiculously late — 23 February 2022 — and essentially forced conscription of men aged 16 to 60
(this male age group is not allowed to leave Ukraine)
Ukraine's absurdly useless issuance of military rifles to people, who do not know how to use them
and
its monumentally stupid Molotov cocktail training for folks — whom the Ukraine regime (also idiotically) does not have firearms for.
Keep in mind that these purported war preparations surfaced only after Ukraine had spent years (since 2014) escalating its dispute with Russia.
Evidently, the Ukraine Regime never thought to militarily prepare for what was (probably inevitably) going to happen — as a result of NATO and US-assisted provocation of the Russian Federation.
Coach Red Pill — who says that he has significant business connections in Ukraine (which presumably is why he is now in Kiev) — calculates that much or most of the mass of the citizen flight from Ukraine is due to many Ukrainians' refusal to be sacrificed as propaganda opportunities by their own neo-Nazi government.
Is that an arguably accurate hypothesis?
Related and point-pertinent, there has been no persuasive video of Russian-imposed mass destruction anywhere. Even in areas in which active fighting reportedly exists.
And you can bet that — were there any such evidence of mass atrocities and widespread infrastructure-demolition in progress — our CIA-led American propagandists would have caught and displayed it.
Hmm.
The moral? — Another kind of war?
Is capture the goal — not slaughter and rubble-i-zation?
Is Russian strength being delivered via perceived weakness and caution?
We will see.
