Well, Putin did want to get the old USSR back together. And you have to hand it to him. People haven’t wanted to flee Russia this badly since the days of the USSR!
Several Ukrainian provinces are holding votes to break away. If they do so, will Putin say that they are to be considered part of Russia and will issue more threats up to and including use of nukes if they are attacked by Ukraine forces?
If you remember the last Russian “incursion” into Ukraine, when Russian soldiers were killed, Russia denied that they were killed in Ukraine to keep from paying the families survivor benefits. Like when they shot down a civilian plane with a missile system that no non-Russian was ever trained with and Putin said it wasn’t his soldiers who did it.

Decent men flee Russia. Some of the remaining ones may want to ‘take care’ of the enemy women…

Ask any American that was drafted in 1967 how he feels about the fleeing Russians . . .

With an inspirational man like Putin.. can you blame them? Takes a man like trump to inspire real zealotry.

Putin needs to be assassinated, if anyone close to him has the balls.

People are willing to die for a worthy cause. They are not willing to die for a leader’s hubris. Makes no difference where they live.
