Posted in: Ukraine demands emergency U.N. meeting over Putin nuclear plan See in context
to the posters above that are still failing to understand why Russia is bad: any speculation about political events in Ukraine in 2014, skepticism about NATO, all of it became null and void after Putin invaded Ukraine. When he missiled civilians. While he still missiles civilians Z he didn’t take the diplomatic route while Russia still had trust and good standing in Europe. He got angry and deluded and started his killing. He is a war criminal and will be remembered as one like Hitler. He made an awful mistake which he knows , and for that reason you can feel for him and that reason only

what an embarrassment this man is. in order to become a celebrity, there should be some kind of ability test, like a drivers license, or cooking license, that you need to renew sometimes. A license that deems you adult enough to talk in public. Aware enough not to talk about things you know nothing of, I can only dream,,

Putin and his dwarves are like those kids at school who ruined it for everyone. With their tantrum. Class was going swimmingly, all was well, but there was always one to ruin it. Sour eyed and snotty cheeked. They were made to sit on the stool outside until they’d calmed down

Zelenskyy is a champion among men. Very brave. And so, this ‘ Putin might use the nuclear option’ fear people have, disturbs me. When you have a monster like this tearing into Europe, you need to display courage. More courage than him. You need courage like Zelenskyy. It’s not practical to fear or even utter that he might use the nuclear button. It plays into his hands. To not mince words, he needs to be eradicated, not tried. He’s a savage murderer. If he uses the nuclear button, that will be the end of Russia, it should be told to him today. Truly, I don’t fear it as it plays into the enemy’s hands.
