Took the mask off. Reviving the Soviet empire is an absurd notion. All along he was just a butthurt old apparatchik who wanted his map back. The world has moved on. Like a long time ago.

Bye.

Now..........If the Russian Military does not agree with this invasion,....A WHOLE LOT LESS TIME!!!

.................and the Military could be the final decision maker....Not Putin...back to hiding

Things move fast in the Internet Age.

I’m old enough to remember 60s-era Russia from an American POV, Life there was an utter mystery, and when they flexed their muscles, ie Prague ‘68, all you saw was the same endless loop of tanks rolling into town.

Now you see Russian domestic anti war protesters in real-time and clips of little old ladies giving their soldiers shit. The whole Vlad edifice is visibly creaking and it’s there for all to see. Some things have definitely changed for the better.

Now, with Putin as head of Russia, it will never be considered one of the community of economically advanced nations. Putin put an end to international comity. Abject evil is not a selling point.

Putin certainly doesn't seem like the master strategist he promotes himself to be. If he keeps going like he's going, maybe he won't be here a year from now.

I would have said you are nuts. Maybe his military is lukewarm and klutzy, and he gets laughed out of town?

...Yes, it will come to killing those who protest and cause problems. Yes, KILL

......very sad...but we will see............................................................???

...............And, if the military ...won't KILL...then guess who else could be gone? forever?.....
