They won’t but I worry about Zelensky.

1. Putin has gone as crazy as Hitler.

In the last days of the war, Hitler was demanding that nonexistent armies go and defend the front lines.

4. Can we just fast forward to the killing himself in a bunker portion of this nightmare.

[lagomorph777]

7. Yes - unless that nightmare actually ended decades later in South America...

We don't want that to happen.

[Nevilledog]

8. No no no

[C_U_L8R]

2. Putin's desperation is showing.

He's not going to win this war, in the long run. And the self-inflicted damage to Russia is quite apparent and will be devastating. Putin better watch his back.

[Solly Mack]

3. I worry that the news will soon be that Zelensky has been murdered.

I hope that doesn't happen, but it is the sickening thought sitting heavily in the pit of my stomach right now.

'Course, after Russia murders Zelensky, Putin will claim he either took his own life, labeling him a coward or Putin will claim the Ukrainian military did it. Or Putin will tell some other lie.

[lagomorph777]

9. If Putin kills Zelensky, it would trigger international efforts to kill Putin.

In my dreams, anyway.

[Solly Mack]

15. I have that thought from time to time about a few so-called leaders/former leaders

- just rid the world of the problem already kind of thing.

Unfortunately, bad people die but their bad ideas/ideologies don't die with them.

[lagomorph777]

19. Putin's plots are his own craziness. It's not like there's an organic movement in Russia for war.

Protests against the war (at great risk and cost to the protestors) show us that.

[Solly Mack]

23. I agree. It's his own ego driving this and his ego is warped.

But that doesn't mean someone else inside Russia doesn't dream the same insane dream.

Trump has those same dreams on a different scale and about America.

As do many republicans.

That's what I mean by the ideas not dying. Other people do share them to one degree or another.

[JoanofArgh]

13. I have the same sickening feeling.

[doc03]

5. So that's his plan he will overthrow the Ukraine

government and claim their own military did it.

[Cracklin Charlie]

10. Sounds a bit "last-ditch" to me.

He’s twitchy. Danger time.

[uponit7771]

16. +1, I don't think this is going as well as Poot thinks it is. Also, taking Kyiv doesn't stop the war

... its only symbolic, this isn't 1940 any longer

[Jilly_in_VA]

6. Not bloody likely

you sawed off little sh*thead. (that's about as polite as I can be toward him)

Could Vlad's problem's stem from Short Stature Syndrome? At least partially?

[Tomconroy]

11. Maybe things aren't going quite as well as Putin thought they would.

[femmocrat]

12. Never.

He was democratically elected! God be with the patriots of Ukraine.

[kysrsoze]

14. The Ukrainian army knows who their real enemy is - Putin should be looking over his shoulder.

[Kid Berwyn]

17. Zelensky will ask Russian Army to return the favor.

Once the ATM stops for Deripaska and friends, Putin’s out of more than a job.

[lagomorph777]

20. Possibly out of a window.

I would love to see his chalk outline after a defenestration.

[Kid Berwyn]

24. Guy's a genocidal mass murderer.

No doubt he deserves capital punishment. Science may prefer putting him in solitary, under round-the-clock 24/7/366 observation, listening to an endless loop of The Best of Vanilla Ice.

[temporary311]

18. I think it would work better

if he went and asked them face to face.

[lagomorph777]

22. Yes, that's the ticket!

[BlueIdaho]

21. Replacing Zelensky won't help Putin.

The Ukrainian people and their military are now full of national pride and rage for Russia. A stooge won’t be able to control the military and the people will form resistance units with a new target to add to the rest.

[lagomorph777]

25. Look what Ukraine did to Putin's previous stooge.

The next wouldn't fare any better. Most likely they won't be so polite to the next one.

[BlueIdaho]

26. Well said!

[obamanut2012]

27. This shows how desperate Putin is

Saying this, saying he is ready to talk about Ukraine surrendering... umm, methinks his "shock and awe" of Ukraine isn't going quite as well as he thought it would, or he wouldn't be saying this. It shows weakness ie he sand his military should be able to easily trounce the "weak" Ukrainians.

And now some Russian soldiers are surrendering, NATO is flexing, Russian citizens are protesting in a way not see for over 100 years, and he is scrambling.

[AmBlue]

28. Russian soldiers take note

This option would work for them as well. Some Russian soldiers have already laid down their arms. If Russian soldiers won't execute Putin's sick plan and the Russian officials who have signed the letter opposing Putim's actions all rise up against him, they can turn the course of history!!

[FakeNoose]

29. Dear Russian Generals, please overthrow and assassinate your dictatin' despotic leader

Please get in your vehicles and leave Ukraine immediately. Go home, you don't belong there.

That is all.
