@alwaysdisputin9930 : Well, the term, “Nazi,” isn’t an adjective to describe a behaviour, just because it’s cruel or unreasoning. That’s the fault of lazy journalists and even lazier knee jerk commentators on social media. If they don’t like something, they slap a, “Nazi,” label on it. But Nazism is an, “ideology,” based on, “racial purity,” intolerance of difference and the crushing of individualism. You know? All that stuff that Putin was advocating in his speech to that frightened stadium of sheep, half of whom had left after signing their names on the attendance register, before the gig even started, and half of the remaining crowd only stayed because it was too dicey to leave without being noticed. Putin’s whole schtick has always been to accuse his opponents of what he’s up to. After all, it’s his army with the, “Z,” Zwastikas we’re seeing in the streets of Ukraine? It’s his army that is rounding up innocent civilians like cattle, and deporting them against their will. It’s Putin that keeps bringing up, “racial,” issues. It was Putin who had to be talked out of the whole, “Public Executions in the streets of Ukraine,” idea!

@darkcomet1607 : Putin has been lying to you about that, “Dumbass,” region, madam. 🤦♂️ In the same way he lies about everything. “I don’t intend to invade Ukraine,” was repeated on the same day he invaded Ukraine. “We will not attack civilians,” was a corker, wasn’t it? How about Zelensky being a Jewish, “Nazi”? Did ya’ fall for that one too? Why do you think so many Russian soldiers have surrendered or refused to fight? They thought they were going to, “liberate Ukraine from Nazi oppressors,” until they GOT THERE, kid! The ONLY thing you can be certain of is, if Putin says it, the OPPOSITE is true! NO ONE BELIEVES YOUR HORSE SH*T, madam! 🤣

@Oscarcat2212 : You’re seeing it wrong. Look at it from Putin’s point of view? He’s spent the last four weeks finding out his orders are not being followed in many cases, or they’re being deliberately sabotaged. He’s discovering that half of the money he thought he’d procured top of the line equipment with has been spent on corrupted general’s yachts and dachas. He’s ordered three, “special operations,” to go fetch Zelensky’s head and all three were sabotaged by tip offs from inside the FSB! He’s gotten SO paranoid that he’s fired over a thousand staff and replaced them all with new faces. He can’t even be sure his breakfast order will be carried out the way he likes his eggs without wondering if they’ve been poisoned!
Now, ask yourself? Even if he wasn’t bluffing (which I promise you he is) would YOU be willing to issue an order that is likely to mean suicide for the people carrying out that order, when there’s a strong reason to suspect you’ll be left looking like a dope in front of your generals, as absolutely nothing happens? In Russia, that’s the quickest way to find yourself being executed in the cellar with your family! And it’s not like they could ever count on nuclear protocols before this mess started.
The actual, “risk,” is NOT from Putin being, “cornered,” at all. It’s right now! While he still has a free hand to further pressure everyone, transmit his paranoia around the Kremlin and keep every sub commander and silo chief exhausted and on permanent high alert. The guy who negotiates with a loaded weapon in his hands whilst waving it in everyone’s faces . . . He’s the guy who’s going to have an accident. It’s NOT crushing him more swiftly that’s liable to get us all killed!
Colluding in helping Putin, “save face,” would be the west’s worst mistake. The smartest, safest play would be to offer a billion dollar bounty, citizenship and immunity to anyone who claims Putin’s head. And I think it might well come to that if Zelensky were to die in this? . . .

The Ruble has lost 90% of its value on the global trading market. There are several, “realities,” Putin hasn’t factored in to his desperate plan here. Just like the staggering levels of corruption in his army, and the culture that punishes thinking on your feet or taking swift (unapproved by the Kremlin) action in a fluid situation that created this corruption: Russian oil barons will do back room deals to ensure that they remain rich, long after Putin is taken out (if they haven’t already started?) and it will just be more confirmation that his grip on the levers of power are slipping. And, even if Putin cut off the pipelines today, the west can take it. It would hurt a bit, especially in Germany, but we can take it in our stride. With these unprecedented levels of international cooperation we’re seeing, all this will achieve is a hastening toward energy independence from Russia. Putin might as well have said, “I’m in pain, and your sanctions are really working!” It’s not like we didn’t see this one coming?
