The New York Times came out with an Op-Ed yesterday pointing out all the awful things that Vladimir Putin can still do as he becomes a cornered wild animal.
#vladimirputin We have seen our retirement funds and other investments drop in value. Even billionaires have seen big market losses. The conventional wisdom is that fear of inflation is depressing financial markets worldwide.
I have a contrarian view. I call it "The Fear of Vladimir Putin stock market."
Maybe ask yourself...
1) why is he being cornered?
2) is it a good idea to corner him?
3) if we corner him and he lashes out like he said he would ("there will be no world without Russia), whose fault is it?
I don't think you know what this is all about.
Foolish people who just accept the propaganda as truth are destined to live short ugly lives of pain.
The war began because the illegitimate Ukraine government wouldn’t stop shelling civilians in these breakaway regions and wiping out villages with their Nazi brigades. When Zelenskyy ordered the massive troop build up surrounding Donetsk, with intent to wipe it out for good, Putin was asked by the residents, most of who were Russian, to intervene. After a short war, the two countries were ready to charter out a peace, but Herr Biden came charging in to say “No Peace with Russia!” Then he offered the criminal Zelenskyy and his criminal cartel billions of US dollars to continue the war.
I highly doubt that Eastern Ukraine had majority Russian supporters anymore than Ukraine is run by Jewish Nazis. We have seen the sham elections this week with armed Chechen and Russian soldiers going door to door with ballots.
Highly doubtful - it was the Ukraine which did persistent shelling into the "breakaway" regions
Putin is also delusional.
Putin has dreams of Russia returning to its former dominance over its neighbors.
The war was never going to succeed and it's possible his generals knew it, as inept as they all are.

The Plandemic And the Potatus and their new world order string pullers have "turned the world on its ear." Energy markets have been disrupted. Food markets have been disrupted. Commodity markets have been disrupted.
Now he’s assuming the role of General, he thinks that he’s more capable than the ones who are failing.

We sort of annexed Ukraine in 2014 until Russia flipped out and demanded a cut of the deal.
Should American's really be talking about another countries leaders mental state? I mean since we set the bar so high with our "leader".
The invasion was a dumb plan from the very beginning; you can't attempt to conquer a huge country with an army of 100,000 guiys when that country also has 100,000 guys and ADVANCED weapons which you don't possess. Worse, Russia did not have AIR SUPERIORITY. Forget the whole thing boys.
For Ukraine to "win" it now has to seize Russian territory. Does anyone even remotely think this is possible?

gabbar is just posting the part of Putin's speech which illustrates his distaste of the West and his almost muslim mentality.

This man is simply a bully and a thug. If people stand up to him, they will stop him. This "superman" has failed miserably in Ukraine with 80,000 men and women killed including a massive number of senior officers in 7 months. All his armed forces have failed. His Air Force cannot carry out serious combat operations because they do not have proper communications systems to keep their planes from being shot down by "friendly fire." His Navy is in hiding and will not come out and fight. We see corruption ad incompetence on a grand scale. There are all sorts of reports on the deterioration of his feared nuclear arsenal. How well will it work? I think not well.
Let us go back to the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 and 1983. Mid-level Soviet officers (say Lt. Colonel) had their hands right on the keys to fire nuclear warheads. They both realized the enormity of such a move. They refused to fire. If history is any guide, the officers under Putin will not carry out the orders to fire nuclear weapons if Putin issues such orders.
If Putin does fire nuclear warheads, he will be hit by two US cyber-attacks lasting only nanoseconds. One will take his internet offline permanently. The other will take down his electricity grid for many months. (Imagine being with no electric power for 4-5 months!) Russia will break apart, as the old Soviet Union did.
