@T.J. Kong Naah, we'd now be seeing a very ugly guerilla war unfolding. The bodycount would be much higher, the result the same as now. Which is exactly why we need to further expand lend-lease to Ukraine. Russia has always constantly invaded its neighbours for 200 years and won't stop unless it's stopped.

@Rokaize Putin's had 11 oligarchs and business leaders murdered this year, among them only 1 exile. Those are record levels for Russia. He's terrified that some of the elite conspire against him. Which is rather dangerous for Putin, both their dissatisfaction and having to opress them with murder, because Putin's regime is built on the oligarchs.

Putin destroying Russia to stay in power would be a bad thing.... how exactly? I for one can't wait for a civil war between oligarch/putinist troops and ultra-nationalists. Let them annihilate eachother over the question who Russia's next führer will be. Whoever wins will be so *** that they won't be able to beat even the Liechtenstein army. 😆

@krokodilpil8335 ISIS was created by Russia and Iran preventing the fall of the Russian-Iranian puppet ruler Assad. That lead a lot of ordinary Syrians to grow dissatisfied with the people's uprising and instead support extremist islamists who were getting the results. The SDF then crushed ISIS, after which the coalition of Russian and Iranian terror-troops and conscripted Syrians rolled in and crushed the SDF. ....And after the people began supporting ISIS, negotiations took place, Russia entirely stopped bombing ISIS (as maps of Russia's airstrikes reveal) and ISIS fighters were showing up with shiny new Russian army gear while stuff ISIS stole was being exported to Russia. Curious how all of that coincides....
