Putin has signed his own death warrant... There is only one way this invasion comes to an end... The man who started it must be deposed and beheaded. My prediction is that will happen.

Russian’s have enjoyed capitalism for the past 30 years and that capitalism has brought them the internet, smartphones, an abundance of food and a large variety of consumer goods... It they don’t get rid of Putin... All of that comes to an end.

He will likely be deposed, or assassinated within a matter of days. Russians do not support this invasion or Putin.

More fantastic propaganda?

One thing's for certain, it's almost impossible to follow what's going on on social media. People are posting so much BS. I've seen Twitter threads reporting to be from Ukraine yesterday posting old footage of Russians in Chechnya. Other "devastated Kiev neighborhood" were actually photos of Minneapolis during the George Floyd riots.

It's hard to know what's true and what isn't.

I don’t see Bush II executed so far, even though not many supported his incursions as well.

I think you're right. I don't see a great appetite amongst Russians to continue being the world's pariahs. And as proud as they may be, and as sick and tired of Western humiliation as they may be, at the end of the day, they're going to have to bend over and take all this New World Order/Great Reset BS up their a$$es like the rest of us in the civilized world have done.

The vast majority of American’s and people throughout the world supported the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq... Sadly, America abandoned Afghanistan and Iraq is still a question mark... Hopefully, the Americans will stay... If they don’t... It could return to it’s former state, like Afghanistan has.

I agree with Afghanistan, but Iraq was under a false pretext. Putin actually has a point with his operation, except it made more sense to do it by economic and diplomatic means.

You are, in a sense, right that this war doesn’t change much. With or without war there was always pretext to demonize it and put various restrictions.
And Ukraine was key to it, including the faux Trump collusion.

The press are historical illiterates.

Along with 90% of the general population.

"Historic" in modern terms means since about 1990.

Putin is a dead man and his dream of running Russia until 2036 are over!!!

There are far too many Russians enjoying Capitalism to return to Putin’s mythical glory days of Communism. Those ‘glory days’ never existed... The ‘reality’ was... No food, no fun and most importantly no money, that most Russians remember from those glory days of Communism.

Who is asking for communism? This war doesn’t change much in the international treatment of Russia, it is a sort of cutting the entire cat’s tail off at once, instead of doing it piece by piece. There were sanctions put on Russia for Trump collusion, which proved to be faux. Do you think it was okay?

This is what I have found so far:

Forces in Kyiv shoot down enemy aircraft as Russia launches fresh strikes | ABC News
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKCqA5MPwlA

Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a military operation in Ukraine; Five Russian planes and one helicopter have been shot down in Ukraine’s Luhansk region.

“Who is asking for communism? This war doesn’t change much in the international treatment of Russia”...???

Putin is asking for a return to Communism (his sad glory days) and he has now destroyed the Russian economy.. Russia is ‘patriam non grata’ in the economic world... Good bye McDonalds, Burger King and KFC. When the food andy luxury goods starts running out... There will be far too many Russians who will remember the ‘non’ glory days of Communism... There is only one way out... Remove Putin.

Imagine if you were in Hitler’s inner-circle in 1939 and you killed Hitler... You would be a true hero... There are plenty of Russians who are true hero’s and one of them will step forward to do the right thing. Putin is a madman who needs to be put down.

Don’t forget one one arm and leg……

Ha.. Sir Douglas Bader, the legendary legless British flying ace who shot down 22 enemy planes during World War II despite his 'tin leg,' died Sunday after an apparent heart attack. He was 72.

When he crashed in August 1941, after a collision with enemy aircraft over Bethune in France, the German doctor who examined him exclaimed: 'My God, you have lost your leg.'

A few days later, a Royal Air Force plane flew over the German airfield and dropped a package by parachute with a note that said:

'To the German flight commander of the Luftwaffe at St. Omer. Please deliver to the undermentioned address this package for Wing Command Bader, RAF prisoner of war, St. Omer, containing artificial leg, bandages, socks, straps.'

Bader subsequently escaped from Coldiz

It has been speculated that without the leg, Bader could execute tighter turns at higher G values without passing out.
