If Russia helped depose the Mexican Govt with a pro-Putin puppet and talked about placing nukes there, I’m sure the United States would be 100% fine with it. No worries.

Total strawman. Complete and utter BS.

Ukraine elected a comedian. They're openly pushing for European integration to get away from Moscow / Russia.

If Mexico wants to elect a socialist pushing for stronger global trade / ties, like AMLO, we'd accept it. We literally have accepted it.

I’m aware of fighting in Kashmir, but not an outright invasion, shelling of cities and attempts to encircle and starve out the capital city of India.

They elected a comedian AFTER the puppet. The whole government was altered by that point and the fix was in. Don’t be simple.

And the GOVERNMENT is pushing for European integration not the people and certainly not the pro-Russian part of Ukraine.

And please prove in detail how it is a straw man. Was the Cuban missile crisis a straw man?

Lol @ you.

Exactly. We bended them to our will. We’ve seen the same here, except there it’s been far worse. They jailed any opposition and shut down any media who dissented. That’s not a democracy

The Western financial sanctions have caused full panic in Russia. Russians are trying to get cash in any foreign currency, but there is none to get. The Central Bank hiked its interest rate from 9.5% to 20% & stopped currency operation and the stock markets in Russia.


quote:

At the opening of the London Stock Exchange, the prices of Russian stocks collapsed:
Sberbank -77%
Novatek -75,9%
Gazprom -60%
Rosneft -45,5%.
They had better leave international markets. Russian stock trade seems to be over. This is worse than 1998.

We’re backing the psychopath with nukes into a corner.

Putin needs to be taken out sooner rather than later imo

Putin is getting decimated in Ukraine. He's losing dozens of combat vehicles a day, multipe air assets, hundres of soldiers.

Their gear is old, some of is dysfunctional, their resupply lines are failing.

Their soldiers are young, untrained, completely demotivated.

Their 'good units' AKA Chechen paratroopers were *wiped out* on their way to Kyiv. So much for scary Chechens.

Ukranian citizens grabbed soldiers out of a Russian tank that would not fire.

Literally the Russian Army is making zero progress along 5 fronts in a major war.

Putin is backed in a corner and he has no way out - he's shown that the Russian Army to be a total paper tiger.

Supply lines are fully open to almost all of Ukraine, they're being reinforced daily from the West, they just got 5 000 AT4 (like RPG) to complement the unlimited supply of Javelins and Stingers, along with unlimited ammo.

Russia is getting slaughtered, Putin is weak and in a corner.

Not sure why I’m being downvoted the world with a dead Putin in a week looks much better than a world with Putin still alive in a week.

All things being equal, sure. But that’s how reality works.

If Putin is going down, he is bringing the world down with him in thermo-nuclear fire.

I’ll be nice

I didn’t say how he should be taken out, but nice job assuming I’m calling for military strikes or some shite.

You are an idiot.


For saying the world would be better with putin dead

He could die of a heart attack tonight. A general or oligarch could man up and take one for the team. “God” could smite him with a bolt of thunder.

What is that they say about when you assume? Oh it makes an arse out of u and me.

This is hardly decimated. He's clearly holding back.

Are they? Or are they just now resupplying? It's only been 5 days....

There are scarier Russian troops than those guys.

They've taken s port city and are working on cutting off Ukrainian supply lines.

All he had to do is withdraw back Russia is invading after all. Ukraine doesn't have the horse power to take Russia.
