"What the fuck are YOU gonna do about"?----Putin to the world leaders "warning" him

[Atticus]

not to slaughter civilians.

1. Link?

[Celerity]

3. seems to be rhetorical

[CrackityJones75]

4. Ah, was wondering if he made some sort of statement.

[SoCalDavidS]

2. Kinda Like TFG

That's what happens when there are no real consequences.

[CentralMass]

5. There have been real major financial consequences.

Miltary consequences are an entry in into WWWIII.

[SoCalDavidS]

6. I'm 100% Certain He Planned Ahead For These Sanctions

To think that he and his Oligarch buddies were caught off guard, is ridiculous.

They Knew for certain that the main consequences against them would be economic. The people of Russia will be the ones suffering, not Pootie and his friends. They have been spending the past weeks planning for this, and they know that the little people will be the ones left holding the bag.

8. Which is why Putin moved his

Fancy Schmancy boat out of Germany.

[CentralMass]

9. I don't think he anticipated the scope of the sanctions.

[Atticus]

10. Have those financial consequences stopped or even slowed the carnage? nt

[CentralMass]

12. Cleary not but do you want U.S. A10's in there taking out tank columns and U.S. boot on the ground ?

There os zero chance thst Putin is going to let thst happen without an extreme counter-response.

[SoCalDavidS]

13. Question Then Is, Where Do We Draw The Line?

If he knows that there will be no military response from other than Ukraine, what's to stop him from going even farther West?

Perhaps the bottom line is that he can just get away with what he wants, unless Ukraine can somehow hold the line for a long time.

[Atticus]

15. Do I "want" that? Of course not! But, there are NO options of which I am aware that I "want". You

have your OPINION of how Putin would respond, but neither one of us KNOWS that. You certainly may be right.

I would just like us to honestly confront the likely reality of what is about to happen unless something changes drastically very soon. Zelensky's "David" may be slain by Putin's "Goliath".

[CentralMass]

16. Putin has already threatened to use nuclear weapons if interfered with.

If he threatens or invades any of the NATO countries then I think the line has been crossed and NATO will have unified response

[AlexSFCA]

7. he is daring NATO to step in so he can justify even bigger atrocities and use of nuclear weapon

[2naSalit]

14. Exactly.

11. Once a KGB thug, always a KGB thug
