“”putin may well be criminally insane, a true sociopath””
A man who rose through the ranks of an evil empire to become a senior officer in the KGB, who backed terrorist groups in Western Europe with funds and weapons, who after the empire collapsed first ran the new KGB, and then became dictator of the nation and is now conducting a massive, bloody invasion of a peaceful neighbor and who focused his war effort on removing heating and electricity from the civilian population at the start of winter?
I guess psychopathy or sociopathy could apply.
That would have sounded more convincing 11 months ago.
“Nah, everybody knows who’s Homo you are.”
You are projecting, same as deranged Putin does.
The Ukrainian rear guard is much worse. We have pics.
I think that Putin is a student of Saddam Hussein. That he followed his career and his demise. Saddam used to travel with loads of bodyguards. And sometimes with 500 soldiers. Putin is doing his best to never be assassinated.
Vlad also observed how Saddam sent Iraqi Shiites to the front lines to be cannon fodder. During the First Gulf War. Saddam and Putin are demons but they both know how to hold a nation together. In Saddam's case, with a lot more murder and brutality.
Your lies are easily fact checked. Only 17% of the Ukrainian population identifies as Russian.

So you Biden fans don’t like this?
Is your idol Joe Biden unhappy?
The beatings will continue until morale improves...
No, we didn’t. There are no examples of summary executions in the US Army. The one case of an execution for desertion during WWII occurred after a trial by a regularly constituted court martial and several legal appeals. There are also no cases of the US Army firing on its own troops who failed to advance.
This proxy war ends with Ukrainian troops marching on Kiev and washing the streets clean of corruption. The Kiev regime keeps a reserve of hardcore Banderite troops in the main cities in anticipation of such a blowback.
This will continue until troop morale improves.
I don’t know if this story true or not but I do know these sort of tactics do not work. One of the ways to “win” a war is to break the enemies will to fight. The Russians are doing the Ukraine’s job (if true)
If you need threats and punishment to get your men to fight, you have lost.
There are many reason men will put their life on the line and run towards the sound of battle but if they ever get to the point when they believe the cause is not worth the sacrifice they will rebel.
(As a former Infantryman with a CIB I know what it takes to run towards the sound of battle. )
Jim, This is getting ridiculous a clear violation of Free Republic’s rules.
The infamous Order No. 227 resurrected.
If you’re going to insult someone, at least use proper grammar. Yeesh.
Trump should have done that with Gen. Milley.
I’m putting all my American money in the nazi brigade:P
GOOOOO d*ck piano player.
Neither are good. Let them fight without American anything.
Putin is a Stalin wannabe.He is using Stalins war tactics. Human wave assaults on Ukr fortified positions with back up gunners to shoot any of his troops that retreat. Executing reluctant cannon fodder, etc, etc.
Eventually, the Russians may overwhelm Ukraine and that is when the mass murders will go into high gear. As before with Trosky’s Red Terror during the Russian civil war or with Stalins Engineered Terror Famine of 1933 that murdered millions of Ukrainians
Sorry, occasionally I mash my grammar in replying to an insult, ...
interestingly, those insults have been happening for only about the last four years of the twenty odd I've been here, Portnoy.
