So in other words he may get throw back in a car take off Siberia right like overthrow Russia tsar
Say what you want but Putin makes me feel safe. He’s a good calculater of risk unlike like our affirmative action thug.
Safer like this:
“For the second time this year, a Russian military aircraft turned off its transponders to avoid commercial radar and nearly collided with a passenger jet over Sweden ....’

In the long run it can hurt the Saudis too as other countries pump more oil at lower prices to maintain needed cash flow.
Putin hates our country, hates our Constitution and he would love to see our country in ruins.
How does that make you feel safe?
~Question for someone who knows about Russia...
Who would be in line to seize power and force him out?~
There are numerous variants but if the economy to worsen any further it is most likely the communists.
We are playing extremely dangerous game with him. Geographically Russia is much closer to the Middle East than we are. Logistically if they were to make a move on the Middle East they would be able to support their supply lines a lot easier than we would.
Simply, yet eloquently stated. Well done!
And thank you for your service, based upon a presumption I've drawn from your FR name...
That may well be true, and I suspect it reflects the sentiment of legions of America's enemies. It is to be expected. Not expected is that the very same sentence accurately describes our own elected president: "Obama hates our country, hates our Constitution and he would love to see our country in ruins." But there is no "Obama Could Be Finished" headline at thehill.com.
Others are close too. For example, if push comes to shove, we call the Italians and they put Putin’s Black Sea fleet on the bottom, something they (the Italians) can still do without much of a problem. We could actually supply the Ukrainians with good weapons. And so on...
On the flip side - having his back to the wall may also have some serious consequences - depends on who has what loyalties.
“In the long run it can hurt the Saudis too as other countries pump more oil at lower prices to maintain needed cash flow.”
Yes, but it’s cheaper and cleaner than a war fought with military weapons.
Agree. But what happens if the House of Saud falls?
If we go down, its game over.
No more billions in aide to shit hole countries to siphon off, the defense industry bottoms out, the energy industry world wide is gone, no more exports from the U.S., China folds as it cannot export to its largest customer anymore; it ripples throughout the world and Russia falls with it.
Yes, Putin would “like” to see our ideology in ruins, but realistically our country in ruins means many nations are no more, including his. Communism and dictatorships survive as a check point against America sold by those “leaders”; without us what do they have to sell?
