Today, Russian media told the world that in the war with Ukraine, they are willing to “kill 1 million, 5 million... we can exterminate all of you.” And they used the word “exterminate.” At the same time, Ukraine underwent a second straight day of Russian aerial bombardment in which critical civilian infrastructure was targeted all over the country. Russian missiles slammed into electric power and water plants, and also into playgrounds and universities. Kremlin propagandists told their Russian viewers that the strikes were aimed at military targets, but there wasn’t even a pretense and the ululating Telegram channels of the nationalist hardliners saying things like the opener here demonstrated that.
And let’s not lose sight of the FACT that the “Christian” Nationalists of the RNC have proclaimed that their values are more aligned to Putin’s and his Russian Orthodox Church.
And WHY DO THESE PEOPLE who violate separation of Church and State still have special TAX status???
“All of this is now intended to drag out the war, because Putin hopes he can outlast and out-suffer his opponents, that he wins by being the last man standing atop a pile of rubble.” Certainly he also believes a GOP win in the House and/or Senate will slow funding to a trickle
Doubtless part of the rubble he hopes to be standing on is the American rule of law and the government it is based on. We need to all get out and vote to make as sure as possible that he doesn't have that chance.
Indicting and convicting the traitor Trump would help a lot along those lines.
I too thought of Dr. Evil. No doubt this guy is one really violent dude - and Putin had better be watching his back and his front. What worries me more is Putin's efforts to drive a wedge into the alliance supporting Ukraine (I'll talk with Biden at the G 20 - Biden should have said no but instead he said, if Griner is not on the docket then no.) BAD. Biden should not meet with Putin without every partner by his side INCLUDING most importantly Ukraine. I'm not sure Biden gets the whole matter of the colonialism (because unfortunately he has been shaped by that worldview himself) in Russia's aggression, or even genocide - which has been intentionally broadcast by Putin from the beginning. So if Biden meets with Putin at the G20, that would be a terrible sign of stupidity and naivete. IMO. And that Putin is coming to the G20 is laughable. His desire is to crash the G20 at least as far as the west is concerned. No wonder President Zelenskyy can often look so beleaguered with so many allies blowing in the wind, afraid the exploitative economy collapses. Putin is even dangling starting gas deliveries to Europe, IF the Europeans make the decision! I am sure you have lots of ideas about what NATO should be doing in addition to swearing everlasting support for Ukraine in their fight to remain an independent nation able to elect their own leadership and build a future for their people. And just remember: what Ukraine is enduring, what they are fighting for, is for a future without bullies deciding that you do not exist as a nation or a people. We have had enough of that and the worst of it happened in WW II. (Don't get me wrong - such things go on today usually inside borders.) Russia wants the land that is Ukraine. They mean to get it if they have to kill every last man, woman and child to get it. Is that what the world believes would be good for the world? I hope not.
“The last man standing atop a pile of rubble.” Reminds me of a pic I have of chump standing in The midst of a war torn landscape with the caption “I’m almost done here.” Exactly why he and Vlad are emotionally evil twins, bent on horror, as was Hitler.
Looking for an in-depth portrait of General Sergei Surovikin "GENERAL ARMAGEDDON", you’ve come to an excellent source. One possibly occurred to me not mentioned here. More of that in a minute.
‘Jeremy Fleming, the head of Britain’s GCHQ spy agency, made a rare public statement that Ukraine had succeeded in turning the tide of the war and that Russia’s military was “exhausted.” Within the first two weeks of Putin’s “partial mobilization,” more than 700,000 Russian men have fled the country.’
'Surovikin, no matter his reputation, can’t change all that.' (TC)
Ah, but what could Surovikin change? TC has reported on a killer par excellence. Has Putin made another lethal decision by teaming up with A DEMON, SO LIKE HIMSELF, THE VERY ONE TO PUT PUTIN DOWN?

You will know them by their actions
But seriously, I’m referring to Tucker here

What a bloodthirsty and gruesome individual! If he was Assad’s favorite, RasPutin must idolize him!

it inevitably feels like if the Russians had a halfway normal person in charge, they'd get really ANTSY.
