“Two years of war for Russia has plunged the country ever deeper into darkness”

“Two years ago, when Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, I was among the many long-time observers of the Kremlin who got it wrong.

Few could fathom why Vladimir Putin, Russia’s calculating leader, would embark on such a risky military adventure, especially when the mere threat of a Russian invasion was already yielding results.

In June the previous year, as Russian forces massed near Ukraine, US President Joe Biden met Putin at a superpower-style summit, describing the US and Russia as “two great powers” elevating the Russian leader after previous US administrations had sought to downplay Russia’s influence.

In the days before the 2022 invasion, Washington offered a “pragmatic evaluation” of Moscow’s security concerns, signalling openness to compromise.”

I have a modest proposal. It's really modest, since GHWB and GWB showed us how you deal with "uppity" dictators. Just assemlbe a coalition of the willing, assemble a mountain of metal in various places in eastern Europe and then at an appropriate point you blow up all of RuZZia's important stuff. Then you invade and send the dictator and his troops packing. And voila, no more dictator and eternal PEACE for all of humanity and you fixed the NATO border problem to boot. For all time.

Well ok, maybe that peace thing didn't work out so well the last 2 dozen times we did this, but we've worked out the bugs, brought in DEI and this time it will go according to plan.

Oh, don't worry about those nuke things. That's why we have a detterent - to ensure that he will be vapor in the atmosphere if he so much as thinks about it. The Ruzzians won't obliterate the west. Their stuff doens't work. Just look at their abysmal failure in Ukraine. Open your eyes. Look!
