All I care about is how we get out of it. Worst case scenario involves nukes.

The world press and its audience have mostly decided Zelensky is the hero and Putin is the zero.

If you see a way clear for Putin to come out on top in this little imbroglio I wish you'd enlighten me...it's a case once again of authoritarian victories turning to ashes in the mouths of the victors.

I think he will maintain power and maybe throw the PM under the bus? His poll numbers have been very good lately so (thanks to a FOX News sort of state press) most of the country is behind him. ANd they will be blaming the west and NATO for the troubles.

It'd be the BOMB if this was what drove Putin from power but I don't think it'll happen. He's too entrenched. I might be wrong. I'm often wrong so I don't get too emotionally caught up in my arguments.

In a few days, the future we are struggling to predict becomes the past and a new future needs to be plotted while we are still arguing about the past. You know what Enzo said...

Jeeze, so none of those ‘history doesn’t repeat but rhymes’ or ‘those who forget the past are doomed’ proverbs.

There’s also the risk that taking too close a look at who’s been doing what may cut against the propaganda narratives and all the hard work of repeating them from the rants own media kapo?

So who backs Zelensky and fills them offshore accounts?

Who backed the Maidan coup?

Answering those questions may lead to some difficult positions. Is it better to do as the kapo does and make it about feelings?
