(90,758 posts)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.

(90,758 posts)- 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.

(30,613 posts)Protests against the war (at great risk and cost to the protestors) show us that.
Solly Mack
(90,758 posts)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.

(14,789 posts)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.

(13,582 posts)The Ukrainian people and their military are now full of national pride and rage for Russia. A stooge wont be able to control the military and the people will form resistance units with a new target to add to the rest.

(26,041 posts)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.

(3,103 posts)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!!

That is all.
