@cnocbui - Someone is in pain. Bring it on.
The sanctions are starting to bite, and Putin's frustration at his unexpectedly prolonged and costly invasion (courtesy of the West arming the Ukraine) has led him to spew out more empty, veiled threats under a misguided hope that the West will shrink back. It's all he has left.
Our response should be to double down on everything.
Drivel
The bunker scenario and waiting for it to be safe outside is risible, it really is. Putin probably has a year or two left, at best, if that. He won't be emerging into a post cold winter world, that's for sure. Anyone who did emerge would be greeted by ice-age conditions and their survival much past emergence is doubtfull. If you think Russia gets cold in winter now...
Putin should be aware that any bunkers would be know about and targets for the US deep penetrating bunker buster nukes, which would likely turn them into tombs, at the bare minimum. If you survived the blast, your route to the surface wouldn't
Posts like this are handy for the thanks that they herd from other like minded fools.
Avoid responding to the substance and instead just hurl baseless accusations. Good man yourself, says it all
What are you smoking over there? Putin has a year or two left at best, where are you getting that nonsense from? Reliable source or just your own "hunch"?
"New documents reveal that Russian President Vladimir Putin was visited by a thyroid cancer doctor 35 times at his luxury Black Sea retreat, and regularly takes steroids, The Telegraph reported.
The Russian leader had Moscow-based Yevgeny Selivanov, a specialist in thyroid cancer for the “elderly and senile”, repeatedly flown out to his favored residence in Sochi for a total of 166 days over four years, according to the report.
Putin has also taken to bathing in the blood extracted from severed deer antlers as an alternative therapy, said the report which claimed Putin’s poor health is the Kremlin’s “main secret”.
Treatment for thyroid cancer usually involves steroids, which, according to charities, can trigger anxiety, hallucinations and even cause the patient to “imagine things that aren’t real”, noted The Telegraph.
Steroids can also cause swelling. Putin’s bloated appearance has previously led to whispers of plastic surgery."
The man circled is ENT surgeon Alexey Shcheglov.
Talking about the end of humanity, the vast majority by a slow painful death by them and their loved ones is much more easy to write about from the comfort of one's home on a late Spring sunny day.
But, if life is so meaningless and inevitable and such that its timing is irrelevant... have you bought that ticket to Ukraine yet or is it to ever remain a keyboard warrior battle cry?
Ah sure the sanctions will stop Russia sure 🙄
He will attack the west?, I doubt it very much. The reason he is not attacking the West is because what's left of his military capabilities is being shredded daily, and this shredding would increase 100 / 200% if the west get involved. Two weeks of full involvement by the west would see his presence in Ukraine, all of it, being reduced to zero. Its the one thing he has studiously avoided. Getting mercenaries and having to ask China for MRE's show's just how precarious his military position is. True, he still has vast amount of shells and the weapons to fire them, but his sophisticated weaponry is not being seen as much because he has lost a lot of it, and is not prepared to risk what's left. Putin had all this well planned, winter war, west ( especially Germany) cannot work with out oil and gas. So have to tread carefully. Avoiding a Nuclear war, and end of society as we know it. So the west is basically fighting with both hands tied behind their backs. None the less, Putin is still fighting a losing battle. Now if he were to use nuclear weapons, and the gloves would come off.....
Good response 🙄
Eventually, yes.
"Putin has also taken to bathing in the blood extracted from severed deer antlers as an alternative therapy"
I guess they can publish just about anything these days.
Every day we think we can't hear of , or see worse atrocities being uncovered. . And then we read this , evil b@stard, may he die roaring .
Explain Eventually?
So are we talking seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries? This would be really important for the people in present day Ukraine who are alive that they know this?
Or are you unsure like everything else you have said here?
You do know that Europe is still buying oil and gas from Russia each day so until that is completely stopped sanctions alone won't stop Russia.
This isn't a computer strategy game you can finish before your mum calls you and makes you turn out the lights.
No not at all, the substance was exactly what I had described. But no matter.
Careful with looking in this Twitter thread. It is very disturbing, and contains paedophilia with a emoji covering parts.
Tge whole thread is so disturbing and these soldiers represent their country. If that’s what the leadership of the country values, then they should have no part in the civilised world.
So the west is basically fighting with both hands tied behind their backs. None the less, Putin is still fighting a losing battle. Now if he were to use nuclear weapons, and the gloves would come off.....
The west are fighting anyway with their hands tied behind their back. Putin hasn't lost this war until the war is over and his troops are forced to pull out. The west haven't made it difficult for him to do this so far. And if Putin used nuclear weapons, NATO would have to study their rule book before responding and then may have to have some type of unanimous decision to retailate within the organisation before anything could be done. They are a joke.
I was holding my brothers hand when he finally died from malignant melanoma. A weird macabre detail is that after he convulsed and took an obvious death-rattle last breath, I took his pulse and his heart was still beating for a short while, even though he had ceased breathing. Truthfully he had died a couple of hours earlier when an intra-cranial event had occurred, rendering him brain dead.
A week or two earlier he had broken his collar bone due to moving his arm to take a piss. A month or so earlier he had slipped, fallen and broken his hip in two or three places and his collar bone, all of which were pinned before medivacing him several thousand km. Metastasised melanoma attacks the skeleton and basically rots it from within. His body looked like something that came out of Belsen, except try and imagine that, but someone had planted 40 golf-balls under the skin. His brain was riddle with numerous cancer tumours, like the ones visible just under the skin.
Yeah, it's a nice spring day. I have thought of going to Ukraine but I'm no longer in my 50's and what with a couple issues and no military training, I doubt I'd be very effective and anything but a hindrance.
So I'm sure you don't believe me, but were I just a bit younger, I'd be asking the Ukraine embassy if they wanted a volunteer.
You know what's worse than death? ...a bad life. I'd rather take the punt than watch genocide in Ukraine.
It's only one step removed from going to a clinic in Mexico and paying a bomb to get regular and frequent coffee enemas, which I assure you is a real thing desperate cancer sufferers do. The desperation from the realization of imminent death can get quite extreme. Steve Jobs went for the loon alternative cancer cures when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
That's very tough, for you and your brother both. You have bucketloads of empathy and have been through the ringer yourself. Going through hardship can make us feel overwhelmed. You can see Ukrainians calling for direct NATO intervention when it could, very easily, mean a far worse outcome for them.
You mention the futility of life earlier, we all die, so the world ending would be no big thing. But, you then go on to assume Putin doesn't feel the same way and would back down. That's hard to reconcile.
The West can do more, and all conventional weapons should be given to Ukraine. That is the least they are owed.
So you don't know exactly if the sanctions will work? Because if you did you be able to pencil the exact moment they would affect Russia.
More drivel
How is NATO a joke. If any one NATO country is attacked they are all attacked. No further decision required.
If you mean a police role outside NATO, that's not what they signed up to
NATO is the one reason Russian missiles and paratroopers are not in Tallinn or Vilnius right now.
Why doesn't NATO just provide a no fly zone and when the Russians complain about it just deny they are doing it repeatedly and say the Russians are bombing themselves
No fly zone?
Nah, it's a special non airborne operation.
I take it that's Russia's way of telling us the location of their next Bucha:-
