The Crazy SOB Actually Did it!

Remember, this has been going on since before Putin, and none of this would be going on without party approval.

[RCMerchant]

 ^ What party approval?   It's not a party- it's a gang.

Russia is a sinking boat. I think theirs a good chance of a Russian revolution. It's not like it hasn't happened in recent times.  There are many more citizens against Putin than are for him.

[Rev. Powell]

If something happened to Putin, he'd be replaced by somebody just like him.

Hitler wasn't, Stalin wasn't, Horohito wasn't, Mao wasn't, Castro wasn't, Marcos wasn't, Hussein wasn't. Some may have been succeeded by bad leaders, but none were as bad as the historically bad person they replaced.

The Kims in North Korea all seem equally bad, and Roman emperors had bad stretches, though.

Doesn't seem possible Putin could be replaced by someone worse; equally bad is the worst case scenario.

he's hugely popular. people HERE don't like him, but thats not where he is!

They might not say it, but do you really think any of them support this disastrous war, in the name of nothing but naked conquest?

they might not say it but you can read their minds. In the rest of the world this war is seen as Putin vs NATO not any "naked conquest"



Did we all learn nothing from Iraq? All the people in Russia really want to be just like us and want trans beauty pageants in elementary schools. And that big mean evil dictators just do stuff for no reason and their people go along with it. snap out of it!

Right on!

And don't forget the "Five Good Emperors" ...

Not just HERE- all over the world.

someone called "Chef Zombie' just downvoted me for going against the war fervor here


chefzombie    lester1/2jr    -    dream on, lol!


couldn't bring herself to actually debate the point in the thread (thank you, RC)

RC - here is a map of countries who have sanctions on russia




the whole world?

[LilCerberus]

One needs merely look up history to learn that Russia has been out to reclaim it's old territories since the late 1990's...
They've been poisoning escaped KGB Agents & political opposition they don't like & rigging elections just as long....
When I was at WRIR (Started in 2006), stories about locking up people & rock groups over censorship was a popular topic....

Ever since Yeltsin, the hardline communists have been doing everything they can to get it all back.....
Unless you can wipe out an ideology held by a large enough minority of elitists, this won't end with Putin.

[Rev. Powell]

Maybe they didn't enact sanctions (maybe they can't afford the economic hit), but most voted to condemn the invasion.

[lester1/2jr]

thats true. good point

It's just tracks in the snow...    I know you don't care.    

Poo Tin is popular (and not) in Russia, but he is despised everywhere.  That does not mean that those that hate and are hated are too proud to take money.   

[lester1/2jr]

I don't get it. He seems to be doing a decent job of running Russia and there's no iron curtain. People are free to leave as they please and they don't practice Marxist economics.  People had the same thing with Saddam Hussein, they just had to get rid of him and what happened: a 10/10 multi trillion dollar disaster.

It should never have come to this. Why did they keep expanding NATO when they knew it would antagonize him? as always its the little people who suffer for the policy decisions of those who don't have to feel the consequences.
