  2. I dont think there is pressure on putin to invade ukraine, on the contrary , his subordonates did not want to invade Ukraine as evidenced by his security meeting with his inner circle where he practically forced them to agree to invade Ukraine. Putin invaded Ukraine influenced by his ego made worse by Steroids he is taking for his cancer and cabin fever from his fears and isolation from Covid. Now he is paying the price. and the price is very very steep , like the loss of his entire legacy, Putin wanted to be known as a great man, like Peter the great, well now he will be known as hitler. people wont remember the good things Putin has done and I will say Putin has done a lot of good things for Russia , but all that will be gone due to his one mistake to invade Ukraine.

  3. I agree with Oliver stone with him not misusing his power in fact I laud Putin for doing soft power on ruling Russia a firm but logical hold on Russia and he made Russia great, but all that will be gone due to his mistake, Putin gone i think will result in Russia going back to the 90s on roids, in fact I can see Russia becoming a proxy battleground between the USA and China. for its resources. the new great game of the 21st century will be Russia, central asia and the Caucasus. between USA and China.

  4. If I were to talk to Putin now, I would tell putin to lay off the steroids, and get some people contact and chill out. heck id even recomend he smoke marijuana and chill out. Roid rage and cabin fever caused Putin to make really existential mistakes which will doom his legacy. and btw, I think Putin has done a lot of good but all that is gone due to really stupid drug fuelled decisions he made.
