Zelensky urges Russia to surrender

I am assuming he could be convicted in absentia at a minimum, and forever be considered a war criminal and tarnished as a world pariah

Convicted or not, Putin has already painted himself as a 21st century 'Hitler'.
It's really great to see the World Community come together on this.
 
Those would go a lot better for the Russian people if they capped Putin and returned their nation to democracy.

Sadly, I don't think a bullet in Putin's head will lead to democracy. Putin has had 20 years to infect Russian leadership with corrupt oligarchs, and another oligarch will just take his place. We could always hope it is a more reasonable oligarch.

I think it is probably a long term project to get Russia back to where it was 20 years ago, a viable multi-party parliamentary system, a free press, incipient democratic institutions, a society that honors civil democratic engagement.
 
Even erstwhile Pro-Putin Republicans have had to scurry for cover.

:) Yeah. Even the 'pro-Putin Republicans' have to support Biden and America in this 'War'.
Funny, they still manage to place 'Biden is Weak' in whatever narrative they put forward.

I see 'pro-Putin Republicans' liking Putin because of his 'pro-traditional Family Values' and hating Democrats because of their secular multi-cultural position.
It's a tough position for 'pro-Putin Republicans' to be in.
 
Hello reagansghost,

meanwhile...


Nearly all Russian advances in Ukraine remain stalled due in part to “creative” strikes from the Ukrainians limiting the ability of Kremlin forces to resupply, a senior U.S. defense official said Monday.

The Ukrainians “have effectively struck at the Russian logistics and sustainment capabilities,” the official told reporters.

“As we’ve said all along, they’ve been quite creative here. They’re not simply going after combat capability — tanks and armored vehicles and shooting down aircraft. Although they’re doing all that, they are also deliberately trying to impede and prevent the Russians’ ability to sustain themselves.”

The official also said “almost all of Russia's advances remain stalled” on the ground in Ukraine, with forces moving toward Kyiv showing no “appreciable change in their progress over the weekend.”

THAT is freaking AWESOME.

Go Ukraine!
 
Hello Cypress,

I don't think it's quite that bad. Putin was ideally trained to become what he became. His background specialty in the KGB was propaganda. Who else is going to be as ruthless and skilled as he? If he is ousted and Nalvany is freed, Nalvany could become the next Russian leader. He would go a long way to route out corruption very quickly.
 
There will never be another General George Washington.

well he was one of our finest Liberal presidents, give ya that

"As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
 
One of Putin's biggest blunders was assuming many/most Ukranians would welcome him as a liberator, and he underestimated the willingness of the Ukrainian armed forces to resist.

Agreed. Now every object in a road could be an IED and every window a sniper waiting to pick off the Officers and NCOs....usually identified by being the ones giving hand signals, verbal commands or often in the center of the group. In a column of vehicles, the #2 and last vehicle often holds the officers and NCOs, respectively.

If Washington were still around he would hope (he wasn't known much for praying) there will never be another Trump-like mania messing up the American government.

TRUMP!
George would be appalled at you libturds.
You have a severe case of TDS :palm:

He didn't mean what you liberals are trying to reduce this great nation to.

There are what, maybe 3 "pro-Putin" posters on this forum?
 
Right-wingers don't know what they are talking about. Parroting propaganda and rhetoric is all they know.

And you do?

So far,
a border overwhelmed with illegals allowed to roam free,
a fiasco extraction of most Americans from Afghanistan,
inflation higher than we've seen in 40 years,
repealing and limiting extraction of our own natural resources,
gas prices at a record high, home heating fuel up 40%
an overseas war that a sign of weakness from our
president could well have initiated, to name a few.
All of this and more done in a year by this president.

Your side has all the power,
Obviously, you're fucking up.
