War in Ukraine

Allow me to translate from Russian to plain English:

61% unequivocally terrified of Putin

32% somewhat terrified of Putin

6% actually believe that the poll is anonymous

1% too busy getting drunk and fighting in the street with other draftees to respond to the poll

 

Kremlin sending them in with two guns just in case ...

 

While they're both slanted, one is totally divorced from reality. Whether you want to admit it or not Putin invaded Ukraine in February with goal of replacing the freely elected Zelenskyy government with a Russian puppet.

 

It's not that difficult to demonize a leader whose primary military strategy is the massive bombing of civilians. First in Chechnya, then in Syria and now Ukraine.

By the way I suspect that Putin's strategy for the upcoming winter in Ukraine is the destruction of the Ukrainian power grid with the goal of freezing Ukrainian civilians to death.

 

You’re amazing. You know more that the US State Department does.

 

This is shaping up to be Putin’s third consecutive proxy war victory over the US.

 

Apparently, I'm not the only one with that opinion.

By the way this is the analysis of the State Department at the time of Putin's invasion. Seems that a lot of what you are presenting as fact actually falls under the category of disinformation.

Why are we the only ones who get to do regime changes ? Aside: it is in Russia’s interest to keep international golden boy alive, if only for negotiation purposes. I’d put my money on the US offing Zelensky before Russia does ...

The State Department's Collective Madness

 

In what way was Ukraine threatening Russia? Aside from the presence of imaginary Nazis. If you want to do a regime change, you should probably have a reason, and not just make up something out of thin air.

There is no way that Russia would want to keep Zelenskyy alive. He is practically a modern-day Churchill, keeping the hopes of Ukraine alive and negotiating with the West for weapons. He is everything in a leader that Putin is not. Putin is just a street thug in comparison.

 

The US wasn't involved at all in Chechnya and we were only minimally involved in Syria (Obama threatened Assad but never carried out the threat and Trump made a meaningless token response to war crimes carried out by Syria) and although you are in state of denial Putin is getting his head handed to him by a country one-third the size of Russia.

 

Bottom line: the US is fighting Russia to the last dead Ukrainian. This is not a deep, dark secret.

 

US in 2011: “We’re going to remove Assad.”

Russia in 2015: “Nope.”

Assad in 2020: “Still here!”

 

Guys, you're giving him a stage by responding. I think you may be desensitized to how insane his posts are. If you take a step back to examine what you're responding to, I think that may help. Everybody over here in reality knows Putin is a murderous dictator. We don't need to prove it to his lackeys. You are not going to win him over and nobody is believing anything he says.

Oh, he knows it too. Putin bear is dreamy's new "flaccid buttocks". That used to be his "look at me, look at me" go to.

 

More S-300's were destroyed than Israeli jets. that and Ukraine kiching butt is why the 300 were needed back. New NATO members Sweden and Finland say " Hi" and want to assure you their air capabilities each are far more than Ukraine's. This is easy.

 

I can't block him though. I'm just collecting his inane quotes to see how he answers for whatever happens.

Putin crony named (of all things) Satanovsky has a solution that allows Russia to win the war without nuclear weapons. Just kill all the western leaders. They only need 100-200 assassinations to occur worldwide. That's all. That should stop the support for Ukraine. What could go wrong? Eh, Satan? . . . --ovsky?

Only if western countries fear Russia can Russia be successful. And Russia should not be required to play by any rules. Rules are for other people.
