    Default Putin over the moon

    Russian officials lined up to celebrate the downfall of Boris Johnson on Thursday, with a leading tycoon casting the British leader as a "stupid clown" who finally got his just reward for arming Ukraine against Russia.

    The Kremlin said it hoped "more professional people" would come to power in Britain.

    "We would like to hope that some day in Great Britain, more professional people who can make decisions through dialogue will come to power," said Dmitry Peskov, Vladimir Putin’s spokesman.

    Now all the Kremlin needs is professional Mr Trump to resume his rightful place as POTUS and make a deal. Then Putin can think about denazifying the Baltics.

    I came to the thread hoping the Russians had manned up, strapped Putin to the outside of a rocket and sent him where his lunacy belongs. Maybe Putin will just have an "accident".

    At least the British Trump isn't facing prison along with his kids. LOL

    Yep, a measured and mature response to the demise of another corrupt robber baron.

    such crap.
    If the USA wern't upto our shenanigans as usual -overturning the Russian reset "just because"
    and put pressure on Kyiv to fulfill the Minsk II accords we wouldnt be here
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mins..._February_2015
    constitutional reform in Ukraine granting self-government to certain areas of Donbas and restoring control of the state border to the Ukrainian government.
    or if the crazy Dems/FBI/media hadn't ran with the Russian Hoax-
    Trump would have been able to diplomatically engage Putin instead of being called "Putins Puppet"

    Your analysis isn't fit for the back of a cereal box

    Americans who side with Putin belong in prison, and if we had the brains to elect Bernie or Liz, they'd be going there right now.

    Well, they don't exactly belong in prison.

    Prison, of course, is an expediency, not justice.

    Actual guilt is probably impossible because free will most likely doesn't exist.

    People who don't function socially--like Putin fans-- need to be excised for expedience, but euthanasia would be more humane than prison.

    Not only that but Biden is a lame duck. Macron has been neutered.
    Olaf Schulz is a non factor.
    And Putin seems quite satisfied how his war is going.

    It would have been good if Putin had respected Russia’s obligations under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. This prohibited Russia, the US and the UK from threatening or using military force against Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan except in self defense. As a result, those three countries gave up their nuclear weapons.

    Russia under Putin has now violated the Budapest Memorandum three times. First, by annexing Crimea. Second, by fomenting rebellion in the Donbas. Third – having gotten away with those - by “specially operating” i.e. invading the whole country.

    I suppose Putin would say he was exercising Russia’s right of self defense against the threat of invasion by Ukrainian Nazis. They could have reached Moscow!

    The Baltics are NATO members, Russia would have fight all of NATO if they invaded the Baltics, with or without the U.S.?!!

    For the record, Johnson is not Trump.

    First, he is a social liberal. Some Conservatives have been complaining that he's turned the party towards socialism(!). That's an exaggeration, of course.

    Second, hard though it may be to credit, he has some claim to be an intellectual. He got the equivalent of magna cum laude in Classics at Oxford. In his later career he didn't have to hire anyone to write books for him.

    The only thing Trump beats him on by a mile is a cavalier attitude to truth. Johnson works at it - enough to shock some Brits - but he's no match for the stable genius.

    He's a self-entitled RW populist like Trump. Note how RW populism rose in response to Third World immgration.

    Boris Johnson Is Opening the Door to a Populist Insurgency

    The problem for Johnson is that the dream of a free-trading global Britain is not why most people voted for Brexit. Instead, immigration was by far the most important motivation for Leave voters. The 2019 British Election Study shows that 8 in 10 people who voted Conservative or Brexit Party wanted less immigration, and on a scale from 0 (reduce a lot) to 5 (stay the same) to 10 (increase a lot), the average 2019 Tory voter scores little more than 2 out of 10....

    ...When the 2007-8 economic crisis subsided, the economy fell down EU citizens’ priority lists while immigration rose. This was the lay of the land prior to Brexit and the wider European populist moment, and when we return there, a government which has presided over high immigration levels may well be exposed, like David Cameron’s, to a populist insurgency.
