It is possible Putin has made a huge mistake, that will cost him a whole lot.

It is up to Russian generals to decide. ....If they decide to take out Putin, Putin will be history.

.................... If Putin kills too many Russian soldiers, it is possible (unlikely) that the generals
will turn against him. Anything is possible. You don't think so? Look at history. That will prove you wrong...
When I say ....anything, I really mean ...ANYTHING!!!!

Yes, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.!!!

i never thought that Trump could get elected.
I also didn't think Obama could be elected.
There is so much more in history that could not be predicted.

One Example: Who could have predicted that Hitler would have invaded Russia, and that was his total and complete mistake
that cost him the war? And there here are so many more events in history that are mistakes...

... Do not be fooled, Anything Is Possible!!

Putin may have made ...a mistake that will cost him more than he knows or can imagine.

Strange Event Happened In U.S.History (my opinion) Former President Totally Destroyed His Name

Prediction: ...Donald Trump will destroy himself by supporting Putin...

https://www.democraticunderground.com/113513352

Yes, In The Last 5 or 6 Days...A former President (Donald Trump) has destroyed his image forever

...........Donald Trump needed to SHUT UP, AND COULD NOT SHUT THE F**K UP..................

It is my opinion, that Trump saying positive things about Putin ("Putin is Smart".) lessened his
support in the Republican Party by at ...least 35 - 40 percent.


In the United States as a whole, Trump is totally finished politically, as a world figure, and as a leader.
I doubt that he will be consulted by major networks, (.except for Fox News) and I think Trump is Finished.

....Donald Trump cannot recover from this one. Not next week, next month or years in the future...

..The money will be gone for him, the fame will be gone for him, and his reputation is destroyed for good.

....Donald Trump has destroyed himself... !!!!!

...Donald Trump will be hated throughout the world..(except in Russia) far more than he was before.

....(In my opinion, just like Richard Nixon was shunned after Watergate, but much worse) Yes, I was around for Nixon &
Watergate)........(.....also in my basement I got newspapers from Watergate when Nixon resigned..}

....Do you agree or disagree?....up to you... :

......................Yes part of U.S. History, also current history in the making!!!!!.................................

Russian Invasion of Ukraine Meets Stiff Resistence

Source: CNN

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is encountering "stiffer than expected" resistance from the Ukrainian military as well as unexpected difficulties supplying its forces, two senior US officials with direct knowledge tell CNN.

On the battlefield: Russia is suffering heavier losses in personnel and armor and aircraft than expected. This is due in part to the fact that Ukrainian air defenses have performed better than pre-invasion US intelligence assessments had anticipated.

In the air: In addition, Russia has yet to establish air supremacy over Ukraine, a senior defense official said, as the Ukrainian Air Force and air defense systems fight for control of the airspace.

"Ukrainian air defenses, including aircraft, do continue to be operable and continue to engage and deny access to Russian aircraft in places over the country," the official said.
Without uncontested control of the skies, it becomes more difficult for an army on the move to see and strike targets from the air.

Putin certainly did not expect these consequences. Not only military, but world wide as well . I think Putin thought this
would be a. ."Cake Walk" but it is something else. I haven't got a clue how it will end..

Guess who could determine the Putin/ Ukraine War?..Speculation, but Russian Generals who

refuse to fight their neighbors, could determine who wins.

I don't know if that could ever happen, but if the generals do refuse to send in more troops, ( and they
are urgently needed
)... well.....Guess who loses?

Something to consider about going to war with people you have been..."allies with"?

The Civil War.......Yes, I have read some articles, but the war is very distant.

Imagine what it was like to fight a war within our own country...THE CIVIL WAR...NORTH VS SOUTH

Yes...160 years ago, in 1860 in the U.S., there was such a war. And it was awful beyond description.
Yes...Some pictures, many stories, a great speech, and more. You need to read some horrific
stories about that war. Some movies, none recent. Horrific beyond anything this country has ever faced.
I taught U.S. History in high school many years ago. Hard to recreate the feeling of a country fighting
within itself.

Sarcasm:...Putin Needs To Read Russian History...



You would think that Putin would know what happened when Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in 1941. Hitler was
so sure of victory, that he failed to equip the troops with winter clothing. German soldiers were not equipped with
winter clothing. . So, when German troops met opposition that they did not think they could possibly meet, the
battle continued on to the Russian winter. And winter in Moscow is not, repeat not warm. And Russia opposition
was far stronger than Hitler anticipated. Further, Russian troops were brought in from Siberia and those
troops were specialists in fighting in cold weather..Siberia is very cold.

So Ukraine soldiers are fighting in ways Putin hadn't anticipated. I guess that Putin is not
as smart as he thinks he is. Yes, smart leaders make awful mistakes. Well, I guess they aren't that smart at all.
Of course, the United States has never had such a leader...Well...maybe, maybe not



Also, Putin was sure there would be no world opposition to his invasion. Putin is sure the invasion would be successful,
with ...........few consequences.......I suspect he hadn't figured that one out either...
February 25, 2022

Could Putin have made an incredible mistake that changes World History?

Perhaps costing him far more than he could possibly imagine

.....................Just asking...Time will tell......OK back to the well again. twice...

............oh, and you heard it here first.(9 more).......

Trump siding with Putin could be:..."End of Donald Trump."

Trump's support of Putin, saying he is a "genius" is in fact the end of Trump as a national figure in the Republican Party.
That stance is the exact opposite of what the Puke Party will take. Trump's admiration of Putin & Russia will be Trump's
end as a national figure. Of course Trump doesn't know it, or believe that could happen, but it will happen and it is so muchthe .....THE END OF DONALD TRUMP AS A RESPECTED NATIONAL FIGURE!!!!/b]

This will take time,. of course. But the Puke Party will not support Trump on this issue..Trump may have dug his own grave as his being
a national political figure and authority.....is concerned...

Time will tell, but that could happen as a result of Trump supporting Puting during this horrific time for Ukraine. I may be wrong, but the Republican Party will not support Trump on this issue. It can't and won't in my opinion.

So You Didn't Think This Could Happen or That Could Happen?..Anything Can Happen!!

I thought that Trump could never be elected President,,
....But he was!!
I thought that an Afro-American could never be elected President
....But he was!!

Whatever you think that is way out of the ordinary...may happen!! for only one reason...Anything Can Happen!!

Here is a good one....back in the ... late 60s, &.. early 70s, I thought that I would ...........

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
