OT: World Politics

It took less than a week to basically take russia back to 1985.

Some of them never left 1985, it seems.

Been away so long I early knew the place
Gee, it's good to be back home
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey disconnect the phone

What in the fuck are they thinking? This is cartoon villainy, something G I Joe would be fighting Cobra to stop ffs.

Regardless of what's going on the battlefield, at this point Putin must be so emboldened that no one is going to physically interfere with the invasion, that it's almost like he can flex and do whatever he wants because the sanctions will be there no matter what, so why not get full bang for your buck.

Feels like he wants to inflict maximum suffering on Ukraine for not rolling over within a day or two and making him incur these losses. Scorched earth. If he can't have Ukraine, then Ukraine can't have Ukraine either.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Yeah, some talking heads argued that their view is if Russia couldn’t have it, no one else can.

What kind of lunatic bombs a nuclear power plant?

 

[manny]

What kind of lunatic bombs a nuclear power plant?

A lunatic that would not hesitate to use nuclear weapons if he thought it was the right strategic move.

Fiona Hill said absolutely Putin would use nukes.

He has to be taken out.

One hundred percent.

What are the chances that Washington has someone installed for just such a mission?

 

[LeafGm]

So, I figured I'd take a complete break from any Ukraine news for a few hours.

Now I come back and the first thing I see is that the largest nuclear power plant in Europe is being shelled and is currently on fire.

 

[Stinky]

This is intense.

 

[uncus]

What are the chances that Washington has someone installed for just such a mission?

Or the chance some military satellite in space can fire a laser and take his head right off

Absolutely insane

 

[SundinsTooth]

Starting to think this Putin guy is a bit of a jerk.

 

[CH1]

Some reports are saying Fire is outside the perimeter of the power plant. reactor is not in active use (but of course nuclear components remain on site)

 

[wiseguy1]

Time to get the Mossad on our side and deliver an assassination.

 

[lecoqsportif]

The Russian attack seems chaotic. Seems like left hand doesn’t know what right hand is doing.
