    Something is coming we do not know about. 😏 The billionaire/ultra wealthy class have been erratic the past couple years, plundering all the wealth they can thinking it matters.

      One, every single one is in their 70s to 90s so it’s a matter of time before there’s a string of ‘sudden’ deaths and they can’t accept that so make everyone’s trouble.

      Two, the apocalypse deadline was pushed ahead. Very likely, very unpredictable, very likely they want it to happen for far lesser reasons than we think.

      Three, funni graph number must go up because that’s all they still remember and nothing else matters, including their own lives.

    I mean, I support Ukraine, but I certainly don’t trust them to quote him accurately. Doesn’t mean that he doesn’t think so.

    I’m surprised he hasn’t already gotten the Julius Caesar treatment to be frank.

    Leaders killing several hundred thousand to cover up their mistakes and crimes is pretty common these days.

    So much corruption and death to preserve the child&oil economy.

      Why is he afraid? Why are these assholes who have no problem sending millions of young people to their death always afraid of the consequences?

    The actual quote:

    One source said Putin believes ending the war without capturing at least all of Donbas could threaten his survival. “They will hang me,” he reportedly told people close to him.

    So this isn’t him saying “I think we’re gonna lose the war and I’ll get hanged” it’s more “if I don’t completely win the war I may get hanged”

    There’s no indication that he thinks they’re going to be defeated. I think he recognizes that at worst this will result in a pyrrhic victory and they walk away with a large chunk of Ukraine, not Ukraine defeating them and driving the Russians back out.

      Yeah. It does show where the political motivations are currently in the war and why it isn’t going to be over any time soon. There is no politically acceptable end to the war for either side, so the war of attrition continues.
