Let's not do that either, though. You know, just in case they actually do work. If even 10% of them work it would be a bad time.

Fortunately our defense systems are decades ahead of Russia. This entire war is in part due to Russia getting mad about those very same defense systems being stationed in Romania and Poland, drastically reducing (and possibly eliminating) their first strike capabilities. Russia knows it probably can't do anything anymore and it has no way to 100% test it without risking itself getting obliterated in the process.

I'm American and Russia has a devastating nuclear sub fleet, that can sit right off my coasts not detected. They can literally dispose of life as we know it. Only an idiot would underestimate an opponent.
Yes, Putin would be an idiot to underestimate America's devastating nuclear capabilities.

Test the limits of direct warfare with Russia. Smart.

Putin is the one testing the limits here.

Do you think the entire world should just sit back and let a crazed dictator invade country after country? That's not smart.

Only a moron would think he's going to stop at Ukraine. He's already threatening more countries.

When Russia says to you, "You're not allowed to join NATO." You know you need to join NATO.

Putin says Happy Easter...Kinda

"In its ceasefire proposal, the Russian military said that the remaining troops are in a “hopeless situation, with virtually no food and water,” citing the contents of hundreds of radio intercepts on Saturday alone. The holed-up fighters allegedly “persistently request permission from the officials in Kiev to lay down their arms and surrender,” while the Ukrainian authorities “categorically forbid it under the threat of wartime executions,” Moscow claimed."

When they surrender Mariupol today, Putin will have a Kangeroo court extract world wide knowledge of who was who inside.

Power.  Determination.  Decisiveness.
Everything others lack.  They see him what they want to be.  And trust me, those people really want to be able to just shoot their boss and anyone else they feel is "lazy" or "incompetent".
Instead they're stuck at a dead end job they hate, working for a boss they hate, and can't make up their own fucking mind about anything except how much they wish they could make decisions.
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

I understand the concept, I just can't see what the draw to men like Putin and Trump is. They don't look strong to me, they just look like assholes. Their power is entirely based on throwing other people under the bus and sacrificing them for their own personal gain. Why would anyone want to attach themselves to someone like that who is clearly just going to use you and throw you away the moment you're no longer useful to them?

Putin looks weak to me.  It's like conservatives think that eagerness to pull the trigger of a gun is strength, when it's just fear.

I don't know why you're posting a picture of a missile, but it's one of these:

By the end of the year (2021), the Russian military will conduct two test launches of its RS-28 Sarmat (NATO reporting name: SS-X-29), according to a source in the Russian defense industry. The liquid-fueled, MIRV-equipped (multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle) super-heavy intercontinental missile has been in development at the Makeye Rocket Design Bureau since 2009.

It's the Satan-II missile and it's one of the only things keeping Putin alive. The biggest fear is now that Putin has been embarrassed by failing to take cities only 50 miles from his own border, he'll start using nukes. Like many authoritarians, he is a whiny manchild who hates looking like an idiot on the world stage. His entire identity is built around his own ego and failure does him more damage than you could hope to achieve by any other means. Imagine spending decades spinning this fantasy tale of being a strategic mastermind KGB agent and you blow it all away in only 2 months by telegraphing your incompetence to every corner of the world.

Our biggest concern should be the reports that his internal propaganda is still very strong and Russians genuinely believe he's destroying a Nazi regime in Ukraine. Doubly concerning that his propaganda has managed to turn Americans against their own government in favor of a country they've never stepped foot in.

Putin may officially declare war on Ukraine soon, finally admitting to the war they've been waging for about two months now...

So instead of flooding somewhat trained soldiers into a meat grinder, they’re going to flood totally untrained soldiers into it.

Apparently Putin is supposed to temporarily hand over power while having surgery.  If true, that would be the ideal time to do it.  "Complications" during surgery happen all the time, right?  :-X

It looks like that dude is just a Putin clone. A possible upside is that he surely doesn't have manlet syndrome.
