What a legacy to leave, Mr Putin. What a legacy.

[-] cupcakezealot 29 points 2 years ago

Really hope Putin lives long enough to get the Milosevic treatment

I don't think Putler will survive the war. I suspect he's gonna pull one final Adolf move

[-] iod@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

During Prigos march there were reports the Kremlin were actively calling the few countries they still had some relationship with. So it looked like he was considering escape for a moment.

Dude's got cancer, apparently. He'll decide to go out on his own terms; I hope he doesn't take too many actual humans with him.

News. Probably BBC as I consume a lot of that. Maybe al-jezeera.

I certainly don't maintain a citation list for everything I read just so I can regurgitate pieces for free for some lazy git who's never heard of Google. :-P

Shame how many needless deaths this will lead to years after the conflict is over

[-] livus@kbin.social 20 points 2 years ago

I really hope that international support for Ukraine is extended for help with mine clearance after the war.

[-] master5o1@lemmy.nz 17 points 2 years ago

Bring on the robot mine sweepers.

[-] sol@thelemmy.club 11 points 2 years ago

Who could have guess that weapons only brings in more destruction and problems

[-] Hank@kbin.social 32 points 2 years ago

Yeah fuck Putin and everyone who supports him.

[-] sol@thelemmy.club 4 points 2 years ago

There's a long list of armdealers in the world, putin is just one of them

[-] Hank@kbin.social 33 points 2 years ago

Oh sorry then I apologize. That makes invading a sovereign country not that bad.

[-] monobot@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

It would be nice if we would be this loud every time someone attacks sovereign country and not only when we don't like an attacker.

You can say whatever you want but some people see it as west set up Ukraine to fight their war, commenting without acknowledging that is just ignorant. You know very well that no body supports Putin, just discussing different ideas. Plain old gasliting.

[-] monobot@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

This comment doesn't make sense. Who is supporting Putin here?

[-] SuddenDownpour@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Sol's comment up above is a dogwhistle against support for Ukraine's defense.

[-] monobot@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Ok, I don't see it. That's some conspiracy theory thinking from you.

[-] SuddenDownpour@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I have unfortunately spent a lot of time among certain kinds of nutjobs who don't want to support Ukraine, and they generally tend to avoid highlighting Putin's responsibility and sticking to the talking point of "sending weapons is bad". If you haven't seen those trends, great for you, unironically, because their hypocrisy is pretty annoying.

[-] lemmyshmemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

No, it's not.

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago

Do you not believe dog whistles are a thing?

[-] Zpiritual@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Russians? China? Plenty of shills all over the world etc.
