If Putin Goes Down

[gab13by13]

Recession has hit Russia, the unwashed Russians are upset. Putin's inner circle is not as supportive, they are still afraid of him, but there are cracks.

If Putin goes down, credit goes to president Biden along with the will and courage of the Ukranian people.

A toppling of Putin will cement President Biden as one of the top 3 presidents in our nation's history, and president Zelenskyy will be known as the greatest president of Ukraine.

Geez I hope that Putin didn't take advice from Trump or his pal Tucker Carlson about President Biden. Trump and Tucker better stay away from Polonium soup.

1. Putin really doesn't like Biden or Zelenskyy. nt

[MarineCombatEngineer]

2. I agree up to a point,

if and when Putin goes down, hopefully via a fall out of a window, credit should go to Pres. Biden, NATO and every country standing up to the tyrant.

4. Absolutely, and who was the glue who kept NATO and our allies united?

Who was the glue who pushed through weapons for Ukraine? President Biden understood how far to push, how far to go to keep from escalating into WW III.

There is a lot of support that the US gave to Ukraine that remains hidden, like logistics and communication abilities. One of the problems for Russia was its ability to communicate among the troops. I'm sure we helped Ukraine with our satellite capabilities.

Now, even if Putin goes down, there are people waiting in the wings just as ruthless. His demise, his defeat will send shock waves across Russia.

5. Yes,

Pres. Biden is the glue, whereas, Benedict Donald would have been the solvent.

[calimary]

28. Good one, MCE!

“Pres. Biden is the glue, whereas, Benedict Donald would have been the solvent.”

[Bayard]

10. I just hope the new House of Lunacy

Doesn't screw this up.

[mahina]

33. I worry about this.

Their story is unrelated to reality but they shout it loudly anyway.

[wnylib]

14. I am immensely proud of our president

for the aid he has given to Ukraine and for uniting not just NATO, but other nations as well.

But, the successes of Ukraine in this war would not have happened without President Zelenskyy's leadership of his nation and the Ukrainian people's courage and stamina. Ukraine is fighting for its life, but also on behalf of democracy in the world.

16. Don't forget the Carhart effect.

Zelensky would be lost into the world of high fashion without his Tee Shirt.

6. Just Do It!

[MarineCombatEngineer]

7. Hey Putin,

you forgot your chute.

[notKeith]

25. I think Steven Wright said it best

"If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you."

[Just A Box Of Rain]

30. Some decades ago, I edited a Steven Wright special.

I laughed so hard that I almost felt guilty about getting paid.

3. he has a death grip on power.....

A popular uprising would look like the bahkmut kill box. The military is largely behind him. And the elite class keeps falling out of windows.

The only real threat to him is wagner, who are building forces in and around moscow and st pete. And so far, wagner is loyal.

In any event, the head of wagner would likely seize control if/when putin dies. And that would be a decidedly turn for the worse.

Still, down with putin and his entire rotten regime (including wagner). One problem child at a time.

8. Russian Colonel shoots self in chest "5" times committing suicide

This must be some sort of a desperate act of suicide to get off so many rounds...anything it takes to avoid Putin.

"It turns out that the colonel shot himself in the chest five times," the Baza Telegram channel wrote, noting that no suicide note was found at the scene.

Regional authorities and law enforcement officials have yet to comment on the reports of Boyko's death.

According to Baza, Boyko was responsible for working with Russian soldiers drafted under Putin's September 21 mobilization order.

9. I did say his inner circle still fears him, but there are cracks.

[Ray Bruns]

11. Sounds like the one who committed suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head

Twice

[louis-t]

26. The next Russian colonel will certainly shoot himself

in the back with a speargun. Borrowed from a "Just Shoot Me" episode.

[GreenWave]

12. He would be the first bad actor to get comeuppance in quite a while

Saudi Butcher too oil rich! Must follow rules which he clearly did not.
IQ 45 getting ready to crank up his BS again.

There are more to be sure.

[wryter2000]

13. I just wish he'd go down soon.

He’s harming people all over the world but especially in Ukraine and Russia.

[Fritz Walter]

15. Maybe he could retire to Mar a Siberia

Let the polar bears feast on his frozen remains. Along with his bevy of Frosted Flakes®.

[republianmushroom]

17. LIKE

[carpetbagger]

18. But spread some love for Olaf Scholz.

I think Putin saw him and Germany as the weak link due to their energy dependence. He knew Merkel would hold, but Scholz was untested just two months into his chancellorship. That link held.

[ashpibaoo]

19. hmmm

lets see guys

[sakabatou]

20. If he does go down, I see someone in the military take over.

[tiredtoo]

21. If Putin goes down,

where will tfg go to hide?

[Victor_c3]

22. I'm really happy with Biden, but I struggle to list him as a top-3 best president

Of course, history will be the judge and a couple of decades will give us more clarity on where he sits in terms of best and worst.

We’re not even 2 years into Biden’s first term…

Edit: I can’t do simple math. Biden was inaugurated Jan 2021.

[Joinfortmill]

23. Love this.

[dembotoz]

24. do not underestimate the hold of putin over the people

friend vacationed in russia a few years back....
in the city in rural, long train trips.....
The state control and putin are everywhere.
She brought me back a very nice putin shot glass.
The indoctrination has been total and has been going on for years now.
The still believe...yes believe, the landing on the moon was a fake.

Putin is not a nice man. He came up thru the secret police and he knows how to use them.

Don't be surprised if old vlad is around for a long time.

[NQAS]

27. Makes you wonder...

How will America’s fascists react to putin’s death or overthrow? After all, how could they possibly eulogize a brutal dictator and war criminal without seeming utterly vile and insane?

[Irish_Dem]

32. Acting utterly vile and insane is their goal.

[speak easy]

29. Top 3 Presidents? Which one are gonna bump? Washington, Lincoln or FDR?

[roamer65]

31. If Putler is eliminated, Russia will for sure break apart.

Just like Iraq when Saddam was removed.

We need to be prepared for it.

[Xolodno]

34. Careful for what you ask for.

I guarantee it will not happen like everyone speculates here.
