You Know If The Russian People Wanted To Rid Themselves Of Putin - This Is Their Chance.....

Last edited Sat Feb 26, 2022, 10:38 PM - Edit history (1)

There is strength in numbers. The Russian People should keep up their mass protests in Russian cities and their numbers should increase.

The Russian Army has a chance to surrender and lay down their arms in Ukraine and tie up all of the military equipment and arms Putin allotted to this Ukraine takeover.

The governments of the world are doing their thing by all the sanctions they are laying on Putin; the oligarchs and Russian government.

MSM can contribute by putting out anti-Putin propaganda throughout Russia and further incite the Russian People.

Many Russian staples are being cut off by a whole host of businesses. Sports events are being cancelled. Russian alliances with different companies are being dissolved by these companies. Essentially - Russia is being cut-off and isolated throughout the world. The sentiment is with the Ukrainians.

Putin put himself into a situation that can increasingly become more and more problematic for him - and further turn the Russian People; his military and the rest of the world against him. If the pressure is kept up on Putin - he might not be able to survive.

I know there are many in Russia that are afraid of what Putin could do to them - but I believe that many go along with Putin because they see no other path.

Well in my opinion - Putin has given them another path. As I said above - there is strength in numbers.

The Russian People need to exploit this chance that Putin gave them because of his arrogance.

I hope that the Russian People take advantage of this opportunity.

the most effective sanctions are those that immediately affect every ordinary russian citizen. They will rebel against putin millions and if it leads to change in regime, the sanctions can be lifted. Putin is most afraid is to become despised by vast majority of russians.

That little worm feels like he’s going down, you’ll immediately see him trying to scheme and weasel his way out of the mess he’s created. If The Russian people are aware of how he and his oligarch buddies have fleeced the country while lining their own pockets, they all might wind up Mussolinied.
