Breaking news Putin just fired Field Marshall Paulus for surrendering the sixth army.

[Duncanpup]

History rinse and repeat.

[Ray Bruns]

1. So when do we get to the bunker scene where Putin blows his brains out?

[dsweet]

3. He'll go the way of Muammar Gaddafi.

Putin has made it clear he does not want to die like Gaddafi did. So, expect him to be publicly sodomized with a bayonet and then shot in the head.

7. On a Twitch livestream with Benny Hill music, I hope

[Buckeyeblue]

8. That made me laugh. It would be perfect.

[Initech]

20. I'd prefer he go the way of Osama bin Laden.

We roll him up in a carpet and throw him in the middle of the ocean. Hope we get his Nazi buddy Medvedev too.

[anamnua]

34. More like Benito Mussolini NT

[LiberalLovinLug]

24. Here is Putler.

I also posted this in the video section.

[Crowman2009]

26. Nah, this is Russia we are talking about.

The Duma & FSB are gonna have have Pooty-poot arrested at an undisclosed location, given a show trial, then executed shortly afterward.

[dchill]

27. All they need is a high window.

Russian jurisprudence.

[edbermac]

2. Keep away from any windows, dude.

Just sayin’

29. Several side glances.

You tell him.

No. You tell him.

5. 1943

Good thing you didn't put this in Breaking News.

[Gore1FL]

6. That took a minute for me to grok. nt

[Historic NY]

9. Da....

[Norbert]

10. I would hope he said something like, "You can't fire me. I quit."

At this point it may be safer to become a POW of Ukraine.

[ProfessorGAC]

11. Maybe He Quoted Paulus

Reportedly, Paulus said "I'm not killing myself for that corporal."
A "never hitler-er" to the last.

[UTUSN]

12. Can a military dude "surrender" without approval from PUTEEN?

[NCjack]

13. Please provide the link to a reputable news source. Thanks.

[Smackdown2019]

14. World History

WW2,

History Channel.

The author had a good joke...

[NCjack]

15. Oh, yes. I should have seen the connection of Paulus and the 6th Army. Very well played.

I was almost out the door to the market for beer.

[irisblue]

16. NGL, I did a .. wut? Well done Duncanpup, well done

[jsabrown]

17. I LoL'd

...but let me suggest a more historically-accurate crack?

BREAKING NEWS: Vladimir Putin has promoted Colonel General Paulus to the rank of Field Marshall and sent along a beautifully-engraved pistol as a gift.

[Duncanpup]

22. Yes

[Beastly Boy]

18. Didn't someone post in Breaking News yesterday that

Paulus was promoted to Field Marshall?

[New Haven]

19. I knew I made the right decision joining democratic underground

I knew I made the right decision joining democratic underground —- Whenever I saw a general Paulus surrendering DU is got the greatest people

[erronis]

21. Yup - I'm still amazed at how knowledgeable (and funny) our members can be.

And they really care about each other. Interesting group.

[cloudbase]

23. Tell Putin he's been fired from better jobs than that. n/t

[wryter2000]

28. The man is insane

He’d better stay away from top floor windows.

[LymphocyteLover]

30. Good one!

[keithbvadu2]

31. 'I know more than the generals.'

'I know more than the generals.'

Wait. Wait.

That wasn't Hitler or Putin.

It was somebody more local to us.

[rubbersole]

32. He couldn't find his way around a Dollar General..

[Hortensis]

35. Commander Roman Berdnikov held the position for only 16 days before

Ukraine swept him back. He was moved up around the time Putin fired at least 6 generals for not advancing fast enough. Wonder what their fates will be, but...don't think Ukraine will exactly weep for them.

Russia's hitting power stations, causing outages across Ukraine. Presumably a reminder that without power many will freeze to death this winter.
