Does anyone have any proof that Putin even did this? He very well may have. But I don’t trust the MSM.

TASS reported it

“First, I thought Putin’s troop buildup was for leverage.”

It appears you were wrong, as well as many other here who defended Putin and continue to do so.

I was correct all along. Putin is evil and unhinged like most despots, as he arrests those in Russia who protest this stupid invasion.

“Putin has lost if he’s threatening nukes. The facts on the ground speak for themselves. Kharkiv is 15 miles from the border. Over a million Russian speakers. They may speak Russian but they are choosing to be Ukrainian. That’s devastating for Putin. Russian troops are running out of gas there and surrendering.”

I agree. But Putin is deluded and he likely still thinks that Zelensky will surrender. Putin miscalculated on the invasion and I believe he will continue to miscalculate.

Not wise to make Putin a new Hitler—this war will be over soon. Moscow has not fallen, we will need to work with this man. If he should be toppled—who is to say he will be replaced by a real Hitler—or Stalin? This could end with a lot of people Dead! Some openly talk of a “First Strike” to take out Russian Madman Putin with nukes. Then we will not need to worry about crime in the cities—because they will not be anymore cities. Only winner—Red China. Without USA they get the world to run. America will be a memory—like England Today—a second rate banana Republic—living on memories.

“..Our government refused to back gosh in the slightest about January 6, or the insane coronavirus rules. The Canadian government refused to back down to reasonable demands. They are trying that same playbook again, “the obstinate morons “ and going to get us into a war....”

Elections have consequences.
Stolen elections have HUGE consequences...
The blame for every single bit of this lays directly at the feet of our domestic communists. They should be run out of the country on a rail.

Putin is simply showing the world what he is.

He will be isolated for the rest of his life now and Russia will have no credibility until he is gone and they have open media, free speech and dissent, and fair elections without political opponents being poisoned.

Guarantee he’s running around the Oval Office sound stage cheering and waving his poopy pants in circles around his head.

--- "I don't see a Beria or Malenkov among Putin's coterie."

Aside from all the opinions flying every which way, I think the Beria and Malenkov sorts have infested the "same Obama foreign policy team—Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Victoria Nuland, Susan Rice, and others—[is] now back in the White House and State Department working in senior posts for a president who personally ran Obama's Ukraine policy."

After all, someone wrote "an Obama presidency will inflict the greatest disaster on this nation that it has ever seen. Four years of the haloed one will see a rebirth of the USSR here in the USA."

Prescient, indeed.

On a parallel notion, if you haven't seen "The Death of Stalin" from 2017, it is highly recommended. Best regards.

I saw on a podcast that Putin has been developing a small tactical nuke program for 20 years. Trump started one also to dissuade him from using it, but we are many years behind on this. Also, the podcast guest surmised that Putin smells weakness in America and will begin to make threats. Looks like this is coming to pass.

Keep an eye on the lying traitors in D.C., if most of them suddenly head out of town.

--- "TASS reported it"

Link, please? I did not find it. I found many news entities reporting that TASS has reported this, but that is the game of Chinese Whispers.

As an ironic note, we have a TASS too.

"The Tactical Automated Security System (TASS) spearheads a new way of performing security for the US Air Force: a portable, relocatable security system that deploys and moves with the troops."

If Europe wasn’t so focused on fighting global warming by eliminating reliable energy production, Putin wouldn’t be involved in a regional war with Eastern Europe.

Oddly, with only a minor discrepancy or two, that sounds just like the Left talking about the USA and Trump.
