Quote:Russia has had a long line of loonies in charge (remember Boris Yeltsin? Ha-ha! Loony as Trump!), but the Russian people never did wake up before now. I doubt they will this time, either.

Here is one of those Russian loonies (and he happens to be someone that Putin has praised, over and over, as did Joseph Stalin):
Contemporary sources present disparate accounts of Ivan's complex personality. He was described as intelligent and devout but also prone to paranoia, rage, and episodic outbreaks of mental instability that increased with age. In one fit of anger, he murdered his eldest son and heir, Ivan Ivanovich, and he might also have caused the miscarriage of the latter's unborn child. This left his younger son, the politically ineffectual Feodor Ivanovich, to inherit the throne, a man whose rule and subsequent childless death directly led to the end of the Rurikid dynasty and the beginning of the Time of Troubles.

Admitting publicly that bribery was usual business practice in Russia, Mr. Pacolli confirmed in early-December 1999 that he had guaranteed five credit cards for Mr. Yeltsin's wife, Naina, and two daughters, Tatyana and Yelena. President Yeltsin resigned a few weeks later on 31 December 1999, appointing Vladimir Putin as his successor. President Putin's first decree as president was lifelong immunity from prosecution for Yeltsin. (In a properly run country, Yeltsin would have been jailed. Trump hasn't been jailed, either, but prosecutors don't have the excuse that Trump has lifelong immunity.)

Time will tell second. This may turn out to be a monumental mistake on Putins’ part. Let’s hope it is. So far the Ukrainians are fighting back. Even having more success than predicted. So far Putin has not shut down the Ukraine military's ability to communicate with each other. Another mistake...

The Ukrainians are very tech savvy. They should target Russia's infrastructure now, and we should help them from foreign soil. Lets go lets go lets go.

Quote:Putin is not Macbeth, who got the death he deserved in a less than 2 hour long movie. Putin will probably long reign over Russia and Ukraine will fall, splat, in a bloody mess.

I see that Russians are rising up against Putin. Just kidding. Almost no Russians rise up. Co-chair of Russia’s trade union of journalists, solo picketing against Russian invasion. Her itty-bitty sign says "War with Ukraine is Russia’s disgrace".

Anti-war solo pickets like this are popping up in cities across Russia. It’s not much but they’re arrested almost immediately, often upon leaving their homes when the cops know to expect them. Here’s Sofya Rusova, co-chair of Russia’s Trade Union of Journalists.

As Russian bombs pound Ukraine, and its soldiers pour into Ukrainian territory, the question on everyone’s mind is: Why? What does Russia hope to accomplish with a massive invasion?
Russian President Vladimir Putin gave his version of an answer in his televised speech Wednesday night, announcing a “special military operation” whose “goal is to protect people who have been abused by the genocide of the Kyiv regime for eight years.” Ultimately: “We will strive for the demilitarization and de-Nazification of Ukraine, as well as bringing to justice those who committed numerous bloody crimes against civilians.”
On its face, this sounds detached from reality. There is no ongoing genocide in Ukraine. The Ukrainian government itself is not even close to a Nazi regime. The country’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, is Jewish; he speaks proudly of how his Jewish grandfather fought against Hitler’s army.
But with this seemingly absurd rhetoric, Putin is laying the propaganda groundwork for the overthrow of Ukraine’s government.
US intelligence has warned that Putin aims to topple Ukraine’s government, round up prominent Ukrainians “to be killed or sent to camps,” and install a puppet regime in Kyiv. When Putin speaks of “de-Nazification” and “bringing [Ukrainians] to justice,” this is exactly what he means.

It’s possible to make sense of Putin’s unhinged ranting about genocide and the de-Nazification of Ukraine. The idea of Ukraine as a Nazi state is deeply rooted in the Russian nationalist narrative.
“It goes back to World War II, when Ukrainian partisans took the Nazi side against the Soviets,” Gunitsky explains. “The narrative in Russia today is that these are all neo-Nazis running the show.” Ukraine is the inheritor of a neo-Nazi tradition that contributed to untold Russian deaths during World War II.
Putin’s claims of “genocide” in Ukraine reflect Russian nationalism. Ukraine has a large ethnic Russian population; they are potential victims of an ethnic cleansing campaign by the neo-Nazi Ukrainian government.
“The formation of an ethnically pure Ukrainian state, aggressive towards Russia, is comparable in its consequences to the use of weapons of mass destruction against us,” as Putin put it in his 2021 essay. “As a result of such a harsh and artificial division of Russians and Ukrainians, the Russian people in all may decrease by hundreds of thousands or even millions.”

Putin is such a wussy to say "the Russian people in all may decrease by hundreds of thousands or even millions." Putin should go big and forcefully say Millions of Russians will die in Ukraine's Death Camps. And then Putin should frown angrily. Maybe shake his fist on TV. I'd be totally convinced if I were Russian and Putin lies with confidence.

This is why sociopaths too often succeed
Political scientist and author Brian Klaas says 'strongmen' leaders like Vladimir Putin activate a template in the human brain, causing many to gravitate toward them. Klaas also tells Reality Check's John Avlon about his research into sociopaths - how they are naturally drawn to power and all too often, succeed in getting it.

Snake Island: Soldiers' defiant last words as Russian warship targets them
According to a purported audio exchange, as the Russians approached Snake Island, also known as Zmiinyi Island, the Russian officer says: "This is a military warship. This is a Russian military warship. I suggest you lay down your weapons and surrender to avoid bloodshed and needless casualties. Otherwise, you will be bombed."
A Ukrainian soldier responds: "Russian warship, go f*** yourself."
Those were the final known words heard from the island.
All 13 Ukrainian defenders were killed in a Russian bombardment Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
"All border guards died heroically but did not give up. They will be awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine posthumously," Zelensky said.

The same story will be written about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky is gonna wake up with "no inkling" it is his last day in Ukraine. The next day, Putin's new President takes over Ukraine. Who knows if Putin will name himself as Ukrainian President?
