When was it claimed that the SMO was for 10 days? Just like the Kiev in three days bullshit, it is invented by Western media. They invent a claim and then call Russia weak for failing to achieve X or Y. Meanwhile, the world and its dog can see that the slow grinding SMO is weakening NATO whilst Russia only grows in strength.
Some claims that were made and have turned out to be the complete opposite of the truth include the repeatedly made claim over many months that Russia were running out of (insert weapon here). This was amplified by all Western media and governments. It is probably why the 10 day SMO claim was made. So confident were they in their "intelligence assessments" on Russian weapon inventories and production capacity that they imagined that Russia needed it wrapped up quick.
As it turns out, Russia have seemingly endless stocks and production capacity and can sustain for much longer than NATO who have been caught completely unprepared for what is now unfolding. NATO along with their proxies have been humiliated.
The world is changing and power is shifting whether the overlords and denizens of NATOstan like it or not. There is nothing that NATO can do to stop the inevitable power shift. The conflict is prolonged and fed by NATO to put off the inevitable day of reckoning. Western institutions are creaking, EU, NATO, IMF etc. and will not survive in their current form once the defeat of NATO/Ukraine is complete.
There never was Kiev in 3 days or 10 day SMO. There only ever was, the demilitarisation and de-Nazification(a euphemism for de-NATO-fy-same thing anyway) of Ukraine. The goal actually set by Russia(not the made up NATO shit) is proceeding to plan.
