Like trump, Putin is deranged. We cannot expect anything rational to come from his office. Bush was an idiot who was electable, and then let the criminals run the nation.
We're all banking on the top Russian brass to step up and get rid of Putin. Meanwhile, the damage is growing like cancer.
I wouldn't know, but I believe if you asked a member of Seal Team 6 whether they would feel better about killing a drug lord or evil dictator, versus killing the democratically elected leader of a European nation, they wouldn't have to think very long about it.
These same Russian troops who are performing so poorly in Ukraine would probably fight more effectively if they felt their cause was just.

It worked for him in the past, but he wasn't going up against the entire free world.

I wonder how much intelligence and special forces the US is providing the Ukrainian army. I have a feeling it's a lot and of course, it's being done covertly. But I bet a lot of European governments and militaries are helping out the Ukrainians covertly, providing them with drones, arms and intelligence. And I wouldn't be surprised if there are some US SEALS working with the Ukrainian army. Again, covertly of course.

i understand that. but if we are going to invade countries based on how screwed up their leaders are, back in 2003, iraq would have been way down the list. so that does not justify it at all and we were wrong 100%.

There are a lot of reports that cannot be verified, but there are a number of issues that he might or might not be suffering from.
Truth is, he exposed himself as a fool who has been demanding respect for decades that he doesn't deserve.
Saddam Hussein was killed by Iraqis.
A tank is a really great way of "fragging" the CO.
It vaguely reminds me of the infamous mutinies of Russian soldiers in WW1 when they felt officers were treating them like cannon fodder.
...which they were. LOL
Troops eliminating their own leaders who are too callous with the lives of those under them is an old story. Caligula's death is an ancient example.
Another reason why volunteer troops are more reliable than conscripts.

Agreed on just cause. Also factor belief in one's cultural system. WWII Japanese and Germans, especially the SS, had no problem committing war crimes. The Wehrmacht had more conventional beliefs.
Like America's White Supremacists, the Nazis believed in their racial superiority which gave them the right to murder "mud people". Note which JPP RWers support the mass murder of "libs".
The Japanese, also very racist, were also from a culture that has longer range values than the West. Their belief in their inherent superiority dictated their behavior.

The US handed him over to his enemies to be hung. You might call that ' clean hands '- the rest of the world did not.
Damn, it took us a lot longer to start fragging officers in VN. This war must be super unpopular.
It's because the Russian troops are being slaughtered due to a lack of supply; they're starving to death, freezing to death and being shot at from every direction by pissed off Ukrainians. What's to love?
Translation: The Americans handed Saddam over to the same Iraqis Saddam had abused and terrorized for decades. I hate that! Bring back the Rape Rooms!
You're a sick woman, Ms. Moon.
I'm a subscriber, how much would you like to read? We can't post whole articles here but I could PM it to you, I think.
I'd love to see his face the moment before he shuffles off his mortal coil in the next few weeks.
