    This is Not Good.

    It seems to be a constant of Russian history that things can always get worse.

    A coup replacing Putin’s half-mafia/half-fascist regime with actual Neo-Nazi militants would be bad for Russians and bad for the world. Putin is bad, but these guys are worse.

    But it turns out you can’t operate a military if you let the colonels sell the tank armor on eBay.

      If at this point, after everything, you don’t see Putin as Hitler part deux bringing the world to the brink of nuclear holocaust, after invading the sovereign nation of Ukraine while employing such measures as Genocidal slaughter, rape, targeting of civilians, and child kidnap, well, so, I don’t know what to tell you. We’ve seen 30 years of Putins reign which has only brought us all to the brink of World War 3, and killed so many in the process.

      Vlad has got to go, by any means necessary, by anyone willing. We deal with what comes next, next

    Down with putin, and his facist oligarchs. If Wagner takes over it is preferable. Sure they are ruthless, and they are evil henchmen, but they aren’t political powerhouses.

    Therefore, evil henchmen taking the helm of Russia is better than a russia run by putin.

    I like to think this could be the beginning of a liberal democracy taking shape in russia.
