Kind of fun to see the “mask over eyes” meme refurbished for this purpose.

Vladimir Putin: My suggestion is to have him prove his virility yet another way by shooting him out of a cannon. Preferably from a tank barrel. (—

The 21st century’s Hitler.

Will they do anything? Not likely.

Wish that shirtless Putin would take a ride in one of those death trap tanks. He is the main adversary of his own troops.

Will there be a tipping point of failures and losses after which the Russian military has had enough? One can hope. The people aren’t in a position to effect changes.

Putin: My tanks best in world. Play dead to fool enemy.

Russian tanks have a flaw, ammunition is stored in the turret, if it gets set off it blows the turret off and kills everyone in the tank.

Nailed it, sir.

The sad thing is that it really wouldn’t matter at all if they weren’t wearing those masks and could see clearly everything that’s going on, because there’s not a damn thing they could do about it.

Nixon’s White House lawyer John Dean (an old-line conservative) wrote a 2006 book called Conservatives without Conscience (a play on Barry Goldwater’s famous Conscience of a Conservative), in which he cited the sociological research about “authoritarian personalities”.

Basically about ⅓ of any human grouping thinks it’s only fitting and proper to have a strong father figure making all the important decisions, because it provides a sense of security and finality. Of those, 99% are sheep looking for a border collie and the other 1% are sociopathic megalomaniacs convinced that it’s their own (sometimes divinely ordained) destiny to be that great, noble leader.

I realized that Putin doesn’t want the Russian troops to return. Those who survive will spread the word about how bad the weapons and leadership was. Putin is sending them there to die and not come back with the truth.
