Methinks...

Methinks Putin has slipped over the edge. He is crazy and my guess he is sick in body and mind and scared. Twenty two years of power and this may be his swan song. He is totally isolated, you see it in the pictures and it isn't about COVID. He is afraid his fate will be the same as he has administered to all he has perceived as enemies.

Poison? A balcony or we have the Ides of March coming up in 15 days. Et tu Brute? Yes.

My fear is he will take as many of us out as he can. Ukraine, maybe more.

I hope world leaders see this and have a preemptive plan.

There is no telling how he will react, but I would feel much better if he didn't have a supply of nukes.

That blank expression on his face is terrifying. There is no there anymore.

Honestly. I am a bit frightened.

He won't put up with more losses in Ukraine without striking out much harder, leveling neighborhoods and even entire cities. Then will come revenge on those who helped Ukraine. He is probably willing to nuke us all. I have some hope he will stopped from within Russia.

If this invasion is a distraction.

From what? I don't know; possibly something that will be revealed by the Jan 6 committee.

There's more to this than just wanting to fuck Ukraine. The Jan 6 committee may have some serious goods on him .... for instance, maybe he stole a bunch of money from the other oligarchs .... maybe they have direct recordings of transactions between him and Trump trying to take down the US, that would effectively be war, anyway.

It has plentiful minerals.

"Although it accounts for only 0.4% and 0.8% of the Earth’s land surface and world’s population respectively, the country has approximately 5% of the world’s mineral resources. "

Not to mention the uranium.

Yup! But the neon... I've read Ukraine has 95% with another source saying 70%.

Enough never seems to be enough for some asshats.

Football mentality: you have what I want, I take by force.

Toxic masculinity at it's worst!

Things aren't going well at all for Putin. Nervous tension and lack of sleep can
take its toll on someone his age. Maybe he will collapse before he can put much
more hellfire in motion. He may be having fits of rage behind closed doors for
all we know.

Op on here today where Vlad is Accused of taking Steroids.

It made sense to me.. I didn't even recognize him in the pictures of him posted on here recently. I had to look with the magnifying glass.. he's all bloated and his face has changed shape.

Steroids are known to make users aggressive, too.

I'm betting Pres Joe Biden sees what we do and more.. Hopefully he and the other Democratic Leaders of the World Can Stop him before he employees WMD.
