Russia & Ukraine...the drums of war are getting louder

Prediction (even though I suck at making predictions....): By the end of this week, the war will be over and Russia will have a new leader.

We did a little road trip over the weekend.

Fuel Prices in Northern Arizona - $6.09 a gallon for 91 octane

(that's not a typo - $6.09 )

Yeah, anyone talking Nukes because he's pissed off their invasion isn't going as well as they planned needs to commit suicide with 12 rounds of 9mm in the back of the head. He's now risen to the point he's a serious danger.

I've created an account TheRealVPutin@gmail.com and writing Hillary from it to tell her to call Biden off or I'll release incriminating information about her and Bill next week.

He should be gone shortly.

That would be awesome.

Any ideas as to who would be a good choice to lead Russia ?

I like Ivan Drago ( and his hair )

I'm terrible with predictions, so it'll probably be the exact opposite with Putin taking over all of Europe.
 
Belarus has announced they will be assisting the Russians in Ukraine and that they are now a nuclear country. The president of Belarus has been president since 1995. He calls himself "the last dictator in Europe." He used to be in the Soviet Army and he too would like to see the USSR come back.

Here's what I think. Putin gave Belarus some nuclear artillery rounds and some missiles. Putin will have Belarus fire them so he can claim he never launched any and point the finger at Belarus.
 
From our government:

In case of a nuclear holocaust, be sure to social distance and continue to wear a mask.

Biden says US should NOT be worried about nuclear war with Russia

New guidance comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin escalated tensions with the West on Sunday by ordering Russian nuclear forces be put on high alert amid his invasion of Ukraine.

You really, really can't make this kinda stuff up.....

The only thing lacking from these idiots is a reminder to use acceptable, woke pronouns.



Maybe a well targeted nuclear strike or two isn't such a bad idea after all ** .

Are you saying Putin will be better at protecting the people and rooting out corruption?

My impression is Putin is a bad dude who has stolen billions from the Russian people.

I have never felt he was a fair leader because he wants to go back to the time when Russia was run by an oligarch and the people have no say in what their life will be, as always happens in communism/marxism/socialism the people have nothing, however government leaders live in obscene luxury.

Putin is old time KGB ruthless and smart.

You're thinking as an American who's grown up in the West Democracy and was told from the diapers that Russia is your enemy #1. Everyone was. Just as Russia was told to hate both Germany and USA.
Your concepts of who would be a good or bad ruler for any of the countries that used to be part of Soviet Union block are based on what you've experienced and the democracy you believe in. This includes your right to freedom of speech, religion, arms, you name it. And your perception of Freedom is based on all of the amendments of our Constitution. Which is NOT what it means to everyday citizens in post-Soviet countries.

Your impression is that Putin stole billions from Russian people and people that still live in Russia, that I've spoken to on this subject for the last 30 years, completely differ in their opinion. Most of them say if it wasn't for Putin, Russia would be worse than Ukraine economically. They are not out of the woods and they have their own problems, but their borders were secure, their production mostly remained in Russia, not China, religion was not only back but embraced again, and they were working on infrastructure to accommodate more population finally being able to own a car. Yes, Russia is still behind if it's such a big deal to be an owner of a car or house. However, 30 years ago you couldn't buy a car if you didn't buy a garage unit first, for which you needed to own a car first. Car owners back then were in the single digits population percentage wise.

Don't get me wrong, I am not defending or cheering Putin and his actions with Ukraine, although I can understand why he has done that. Has he been a better leader for Russia than any of the Soviet ones? Yes. Is he an old time KGB? Yes. Isn't it why the West is always so scared of him? Because he says what he means and not afraid to back his words up with actions? Or is it because everyone still thinks Russia was once and always will be a communist country and can't see past it?

Before we start calling for CIA and Killary to take Putin out, I want you to ask yourself this (and this applies to every conflict since WWII that West has inserted itself into): if somebody came into your house and started telling your family how to live, that they are oppressed by you and they needed to be saved from you because they're much better parents and head of household, would you invite them in with open arms, offer them tea and crumpets? Or would you tell them to pound sand? That what shoving the Western Democracy on half of the world looks like to all of those countries and their leaders.

Oh and the other thing, about the people not having any say and their government leaders living in luxury... Can we first turn our attention to OUR OWN government, please? And our own leftist/socialists/woke politicians that have been telling us, the US citizens how we should act and think. And our own government getting richer and richer while we, the average citizens, are not. And let's not forget Killary... Oh the stones everyone can start casting.
 
I'm not pro-russia or pro-ukraine. Fact is I could care less about both. I just don't want us to get dragged into another war. I have family members in the military as we speak and yes, they volunteered. But remember Vietnam? How many of our boys got sent over to another country's civil war and never came back? History has a way of repeating and unless the politicians are willing to send their own family members off to Eastern front, I'm not in favor of us getting involved at all.
