Internally there is bottled chaos. Putin declared an end as he has run out of missiles. And the recruiting boards in Russia are empty.

Ordinary Russian people don’t want to die for Putin and don’t want him making their country into a pariah

maybe.

his rocketry units seem to work ok. he is shooting them off every day.

i think it is foolish to assume that he does not have a working nuclear arsenal.

No doubt — another COVID-like crisis to justify the cheating machinery.

Putin is a moderate inside Russia. This is their version of Rep. Waters.

Waters is not the Speaker of the House. And Putin is no moderate. He is feared.

Actually he is a moderate within Russia, brutal against political opposition, but a moderate in foreign policy. Their are a lot of USSR nostalgic voters in Russia, this rhetoric plays well with that segment.

Yes, we can see the fighting Putin is doing in Ukraine, but there is a sense that he is seriously occupied with a second front at home.

"Given the choice...Russia might no be a bad outcome."

...if you don't like freedoms. The following is only a tiny bit of information about life in Russia. There's much more information out there.

CONCEPTIONS OF SELF-DEFENSE IN THE CRIMINAL LAW OF THE RUSSIA AND THE UNITED STATES

“Abstract
Purpose: This article is devoted to the analysis of the concepts of self-defense in the criminal law of Russia and the USA. The Russian Federation has developed a negative law enforcement practice in the field of implementation of the norms on necessary defense. Persons protecting themselves and their loved ones from criminals and causing harm to criminals who commit an attack are often prosecuted for violating the principle of proportionality of defense and attack, which under current law qualifies as exceeding the limits of necessary defense.”

Russia is more corrupt than Ukraine, Mexico and quite a few African countries.

“A senator in the US said we should assassinate Putin….“

Putin has to be looking at a clip of Abe lying on the ground and wondering.. if that could happen to someone so admired and respected, what could happen to someone universally hated including by his own countrymen.

Anyone who justifies attacks on the United States is an irresponsible pos and is not my fellow anything.

If you really feel that way, then stop justifying a proxy war with Russia.

Screw off.

Nothing justifies attacks on America. If you think otherwise you are insane.

You’re not a conservative you’re a traitor.
