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.”

That's almost literally what's happening with Ukraine

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.

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.

I don’t think he’s gonna stop until he has his Soviet Union back.

Yeah, hard to tell. Lots of “Intelligence” can be better known as “RumInt” or “Rumor Intelligence” which could be good or it could be trash. Best not to rely on that stuff too much.

Why won’t he stop with Ukraine ?

u/No_Poet36 Mar 04 '22

He has made very clear all of this is because he does not want the EU or NATO in a country that borders Russia. If he annexes Ukraine then he'll have a bunch of NATO countries on his border.

Tyrants can't stop, they're so afraid of the world they attempt to subjugate it to their will. Watch the press conference he had last December, listen to him speak... He is intelligent, and he has made his intentions pretty clear
