Does anyone here think that Putin just might be in trouble? Will the Russian people continue to support him?
I think we should continue to hold his feet to the fire. F-16’s I don’t know. Cluster bombs definitely no. Putin should not have invaded but what’s done is done. He needs to feel the consequences of his actions. I say support Z until Christmas. After that it’s Europe’s problem.
Had Putin not invaded, the Ukrainian military led by the Nazi militias was about to invade the Donbass and run it over that spring. The ethnic cleansing would be completed, Crimea would be at severe risk, and NATO missiles would be six minutes from Moscow. He chose the lesser of two bad choices.
Sometimes that’s what you get. A bad choice, and a very bad choice. He either had to except the NATO plan, or fight. Knowing there would never be any chance to roll back a NATO neocon fait accompli, and that Moscow was the next color revolution target, he attacked. Very rational.
“support Z until Christmas”
which year?
