Look, old salt … you really need to stop defending and praising Putin. It has become far beyond embarrassing, both for you and this forum.old salt wrote: ↑Thu Mar 10, 2022 3:09 pmHe was shrewd enough that no one was able to deter him before he plunged Europe back into a war to restore Russia's historic borders.a fan wrote: ↑Thu Mar 10, 2022 2:35 pmHow many years did I spend on Laxpower mocking the myth of Putin's supposed brilliance?

Maybe he should watch the video of Ukrainians ambushing and destroying Rooskie tank column in a residential area outside Kyiv using Javelins and rocket-propelled grenades killing the division commander. How the hell you put a column of armor on a road in an area with buildings and cover adjacent to the highway without infantry support is mind-boggling.
He's an idiot.
Russian GDP has been flat since he took power....20 years. And this year, of course, he'll be lucky if the economy doesn't collapse.
Moron. Sadly, his stupidity and failures likely make him MORE dangerous, not less.....
We need to give him a way out. Or more specifically, Zelensky does......
Edit to add......Diageo and Brown Forman of my industry just stopped all biz in Russia. So much private sector damage has been done to Putin that government sanctions are almost not needed. This is why you don't invade nations in 2022, folks. And don't think China hasn't noticed this reaction.
He exploited European (& Wall St) naivete & greed to the point that he still holds an energy gun to the EU's head.
Don't celebrate his demise too soon. This is far from over & could get (much) worse before (& if) it gets better.
It’s time for you to acknowledge that Putin is a malignant, corrupt, incompetent, murderous tyrant who is committing war crimes. He needs to be brought to justice, or justice needs to be brought to him.
He must not be allowed an “off-ramp” to save face and his regime … not this time.
