1. Good. So, when he fails, he'll take it even more personally. And the Russian

people will have no more excuses for him.

[speak easy]

4. 'so when he fails'. I've got that American yen for instant gratification

I want him dead, in a bunker, yesterday.

2. Russian generals looking around as Putin takes command: *chuckles* ...We're in danger.

8. They know even if Putin fails, they'll have to try to "Avoid the Red Tape"

21. great movie

3. It's a shame that Putin doesn't volunteer to go to the front lines

and show his leadership qualities.

[leftyladyfrommo]

27. And then the Ukrainian snipers could get him. nt

5. Who needs generals?

To quote The Robot in Lost In Space:
Crush. Kill. Destroy.

6. Putin should check out a history book

A nation's leader taking over the army from his generals worked REALLY well for the last guy who invaded Ukraine.

11. In the USA as well

One of the many mistakes supposedly learned from our time in Vietnam was that LBJ got too involved in day to day battle plans. It's hard to stay objective when one's personal ego is involved. My understanding is that when you become the top general, you stop MAKING battle plans. You review plans, approve them, critique them, reject them, and maybe even make a suggestion or two. But your new role is mostly deciding what area needs supplies and equipment, and where to move units. You set objectives and then you let your subordinates achieve them.

The best thing for Ukraine right now would be Putin taking charge.

7. I disagree with that sign.

It doesn't need to be in a bunker.

13. So Pooty Poot Poot Is Taking Command?

Is it too much to hope that he’ll visit the front lines of some particularly active sector to visit the troops?

15. K&R for, excellent protest sign.

17. He should pray to "Saint Czar Nicholas II." That piece of...

...military wisdom, the head of state assuming control of the war, ended in the Ipatiev house.

They didn't recover the Czar's bones for 73 years.

20. +1

22. His vast experience as a top level military leader should prove invaluable.

The Ukrainians will be in Moscow by Labour Day.

23. Hitler 2.0

Don’t put the briefcase behind a wooden leg this time.

25. He Can Use Bush's Plan For Iraq

You know, the one that kept repeating "clear. hold, build".

[SKKY]

26. I seriously hope one of those generals has the stones to put one in the back of...

...Putin's head when he starts trying to launch nukes. I'm not optimistic, but I am hopeful. 'Cause you gotta know that's going to happen.

[Ferrets are Cool]

28. Who will he blame when things go to shit?

[usaf-vet]

29. I don't believe that worked out well during Vietnam. Generals and the Sec. Def.....

....in Washington DC managing the day-to-day troop movements and strategy on the ground from the other side of the world.

[bluedigger]

30. Moscow is only some 400 miles from Kiev, isn't it?

Does he plan to bring the front home?

[IronLionZion]

31. Russian generals should put their briefcases right next to him

and leave him alone in an enclosed bunker with his plans
