2. Putin's demise: all guns, no butter.
Fri Mar 4, 2022, 12:32 PM

He's cutting off his nose to spite his face.

He offers NOTHING to the Russian people, and is destroying a whole country in a self-defeating tantrum.

He'll always be known for this terrible moment in world history. It matters little how he expresses his beliefs. What he is DOING is committing mass murder.

From traditional morality, a war, in order to be morally justified, must be waged as a defensive action. That's a universal concept.

Putin is waging an immoral war. But he's lying when he defines it otherwise. He's killing tens of thousands of Ukrainians because of his belief that Ukrainians are really Russians? So he's killing off "Russians" because they are Russians? This is sheer lunacy. I don't know why anyone is questioning whether Putin is "not right-mentally", or that he's "irrational" in his conducting of the war. He's killing an entire country because he believes in... WHAT? Why would we care what he believes? His actions speak to the fact that he has no business being the leader of Russia. The only business at hand should be that he is held accountable for war crimes and removed from power. He is the 21st century Face of Evil.
