Fleeing Russians...won’t fight in Ukraine

@helenS

I'm sure Putin is thinking along those lines, but he doesn't exercise nearly as much unquestioned authority as Stalin did.

The biomass Putin intends to throw against the Ukrainians will at some point turn against him, or maybe there will be a palace coup by people around Putin who see the revolt coming.

@Thinkerbell i think a lot of people disagree with your opinion about Putin's power. So far, he has gotten away with a great deal, he has his supportive oligarchs, and secret police!

@Thinkerbell A revolution in Russia would change everything, of course. I just can't see this will happen anytime soon.
Providing Ukraine with everything they need, whatever it may be, and organizing a total boycot of Russia on the ground, at sea and in the air (including a blocking of all harbors for Russian ships and all airports for Russian planes) is what we must do, and if we do it, the decline of the terror state is unavoidable. It may take some take, but it will happen.

@graphite They were victims of Nazi Germany's war of aggression in the first place.

@Ontheroad

My friend, we are on the brink of war now.
With the Supreme Court reversing Roe V Wade out of nowhere.
My fellow citizens storming the Capital.
The Police continuing to murder their own citizens.
When Big Brother reveals himself, and claims to be the one with the solutions to all our problems and all we have to do is kneel and bow down to him and surrender all power to him, THAT is when the real and final war will begin.
The question is, are you prepared to fight and give your life for that war, or will you be the one who knells?

@calicuz Sorry, I thought we were being rationale. Catch you on the flip side.

@AthrillatheHunt It's a strategy. Russia uses a "trial and error" approach. They attack somewhere, and if that does not work and 50,000 soldiers are dead, they try something else. With several million men in the pipeline this may eventually lead to success.

@helenS Russia can tolerate more troop casualties than any nation except China .
But after WW2 they had an entire generation growing up without fathers bc of 20 million dead soldiers .

@helenS Yes, I agree......especially with his threats of using nukes.

@caesar7 ... I wanted to say "everything goes wrong", of course. Corrected.

@helenS 🙂understood.
