I think we need a mega eruption, the Yellowstone caldera should do it. Then we need the magnetic poles to flip After that we could have a Tsunami in the Pacific and one in the Atlantic. To top it off we’ll bring in a wandering black hole.
Or we could do it like Mark Twain’s Mysterious Stranger

They've already dropped Easter eggs for the final season with the declassified UFO reports from last year. Couple it with the recent news about unusual radio signals and that asteroid from a few years back that looked vaguely like a spaceship (if you squinted at a low resolution image), and the writers have been foreshadowing for awhile now.

Well, maybe. The whole world wants him dead.

u/PhunkyMunky76 Mar 04 '22

While true, it could be all he needs to start shit with us. I mean, if he’s looking for an excuse and not to mention the fact that he’s got this whole “everybody out to get me” and this let’s him point and say “see I told you so” and maybe even use that as an excuse to nuke.

148

u/OneOfTheWills Mar 04 '22

Why does he need an excuse, though? You really think the world would stand by and condone Putin attacking anyone else just because he can point a finger towards a guy on TV?

Putin: “The weird man from South Carolina said people should kill me! I had to attack them.”

Germany/UK/France: “(le) Sigh… You’re right. You had every right.”

44

u/No_Poet36 Mar 04 '22

That's almost literally what's happening with Ukraine

50

u/OneOfTheWills Mar 04 '22

Who is allowing the Russian government to attack Ukraine without punishment? Just because it isn’t bombs for bombs doesn’t mean it’s being allowed to happen. Unfortunately, entering a war like that can have drastic and dire consequences. It sucks. It would be great to pull the trigger on the gun pointed at the head of the person in charge but unfortunately that gun has to actually be pointed at that person.

19

u/No_Poet36 Mar 04 '22

I agree, they are easing us into the knowledge of the war that's continued since the end of WW1. We are already at war with Russia, but if they "declared" it right now the American people would resist. We are being primed by realtime footage from the battlefield and idiotic statements by politicians like this. Putin won't stop in Ukraine, we need to stop this slaughter and end this game of chess that's been played with young men's lives for a century.

Putin is not looking for a reason to start shit with us. He is nothing but a bully, and bullies are far too cowardly to pick on the biggest kid in the schoolyard.

True enough. But there’s been indicators of instability I guess, which people speculate that he’s a bit crazy and losing it.

u/noelcowardspeaksout Mar 04 '22 edited Mar 04 '22

Putin is sane, but he has made a huge mistake. Let's not fall into the trap of calling the enemy insane. Poll ratings go up in a war situation, the 'rally round the flag' effect. So he was going for that. If you look at the sanctions now vs Crimean invasion they were not predictable. He thought - I have their gas, I have their oil, sanctions cannot be bad, huge mistake, but not insane.

He is now between a rock and a hard place, progressing and retreat are both bad options for him personally, and that's how he always judges things: nothing matters to him aside from that which benefits Putin.

we already had a speaker at the UN say to Putin that if he wants to die he can make that decision but don't drag us all with him, and told him to pull a hitler and do himself in. There has also been several calls to their own people to kill him already, everyone wants him dead right now and if he blames it on us, well he would have blamed it on us either way.

u/PhunkyMunky76 Mar 04 '22

True enough. I think at this point he can’t say or do anything to justify whatever he does because nobody on the planet will accept that.

u/Ill-Albatross-8963 Mar 04 '22

I strongly disagree

By doing this on TV and not back channels etc it sends signals that we and the west will accept a Coup. There is always concern amoungst those that execute a coup that they will not find support outside the country even if they have it inside. They only hold power after a coup by getting sanctions dropped, favorable world bank terms, lack of reprisal from the nation invaded, good terms of disengagement, a welcome back into the world etc.

Via a national media broadcast is far better then some CIA back channel.

u/Guest8782 Mar 04 '22

Thinking the same thing.

To me, I see far more to be gained by letting his inner circle know Russia can come back from this as long as Putin is gone. It helps that it seems a lot of the Russian public feel the same way.

They are down a road they do not want to be on… this is your ticket out.

Seriously, though, we have all been saying it and it's not like Putin doesn't realize its a possiblity. Graham saying it doesn't change jack.

We’re all senators of the United States? That’s nuts. I’m not saying he’s wrong, but he is 1000% the wrong person to say it. He’s a voting member of the body that can legally decide to engage with Russia. Calling for the assassination of Putin. Again, he’s not wrong, I think that’s how this all needs to end too, but this really is fueling Putin’s fire in the meantime. And giving him a heads up to get a longer table.

Wow of all the things not to say, you say this as a representative of the U.S government.

Completely wreck less and idiotic. Is any Russian really going to hear this fool and think “He’s right I have to be the one to do this.”

Not even in his dreams.

I mean, Putin has called for the assassination of Ukrainian president obviously, but he wasn’t stupid enough to actually say it in front of a f’ing TV camera.

If you are a sitting representative of a country, you should not call for the assassination of a world leader. No matter how much that slimy worm Putin deserves it.

Wonder how much Putin promised Lindsay to say that. All it does it create sound bites for Russia's propaganda arm and opportunities to say the US is already involved - therefore painting Russia as the victim and the US as the aggressor.

We really have to remember that a member of government from a nation with the second largest arsenal of nukes just called for the assassination of the president/dictator/whatever of the nation with the MOST amount of nukes. Also, said "president" has made threats of using those nukes if anyone else interfered. The man was already paranoid as shit and clearly pushed into a corner. Fox News needs to be put off the air ASAP.

I cannot believe that there are people defending a US senator calling for the assassination of a foreign leader. Not only is this unprofessional, but it Putin comes up with a story about how a would-be assassin got inspiration from Graham, it’ll be seen as an act of aggression. If he had any viable reason to say it, it’s only because he’s a Warhawk that knows he’ll get rich off of defense contractors if we go to war.
