The world is facing its biggest political/military crisis since the end of the Cold War, and for better or worse, the leadership of its largest countries has serious problems. Probably for worse.
Russia’s leader, Vladimir Putin, seems angry and out of touch.
Putin clearly expected the invasion of Ukraine to be a walkover. A translation of the public statement intended for Feb. 26, declaring victory in Ukraine, reveals his thinking to be both grandiose and unrealistic.
Putin used to be a secret policeman, a trade in which accurate information is important. But in his many years at the top, he’s created — or perhaps become a prisoner of — a system in which bad news does not flow to the top.
There’s nothing new about this in Russia, of course, the home of the original Potemkin Village. But it’s deadly. In successful systems, bad news flows to the top. In unsuccessful systems, underlings make sure it doesn’t reach their superiors because they don’t want to look bad.
In really unsuccessful systems, superiors make clear to their underlings that they don’t want to hear the bad news. I think that’s what’s happened to Putin. I saw a video being passed around by pro-Putin trolls on the Web that showed him riding in limos and walking around to the tune of gangsta rap, but it didn’t make him look powerful so much as isolated.
Now things haven’t gone according to plan, and there doesn’t appear to be a plan B because Putin never seriously considered the possibility of failure. Russia is isolated diplomatically and economically to an unprecedented degree, while it flounders militarily.
This doesn’t make Putin less dangerous necessarily — in some ways it makes him more so — but it does mean that he’s unlikely to behave in a clearheaded

Ukraine is an NWO center
Mirror this quote
I am searching for a Churchill, or even one lone voice of reason and sanity in the darkness. To date, in vain....
Our leadership sucks ass.
These cowards show their strength by arresting political protestors and trampling old women no wonder they’re out of their league 🤪
“The world’s weak leadership isn’t up to the Ukraine crisis”
Well, ours sure as hell isn’t.
“I am searching for a Churchill, or even one lone voice of reason and sanity in the darkness. To date, in vain....”
Indeed. Imagine this happening under the leaders who won the Cold War: Reagan, Thatcher, Kohl, JPII.
Russia would never have tried anything like this.
The only thing leftist leadership is “up to” is no good.
Not to be an apologist for bloody KGB dictator Putin, but, he is first a Russian (USSR) nationalist which by definition means in NWO opposition.
It therefore bears consideration of how instantaneously his worldwide condemnantion ensued from governments (Switzerland for crying’ out loud), to worldwide banking, to U.S states, to ‘private’ enterprises.
He is action is a threat to Klaus Schwab, Soros, Davos Great Reset.
And orders were issued accordingly.
The world’s weak leadership loves to terrorize it’s own citizens now they found out they can
Looks like Chemo distancing. He can’t afford to catch
anything if he’s on it. His immune system would be shot.
The only weak leadership is in the White House.
THAT is true social distancing.
We are not in need of a Churchill; we need to get rid of Biden.
I’m in the same boat as you.
This reminds me of the Archduke Ferdinand moment. Millions died over a crazed Serb.
