which may help to keep it independent, but, by doing and saying what he has been, he has given Putin an insoluble problem. If he lets Zelensky live, he will undermine Putin on the world stage. If he has him killed, he will have created a larger than life martyr that no one will be able to stand against.

Take back South Ossetia and Abkhazia. There's not much Putin could do about it.

Trump will be on the airwaves telling his numb-nut crowd that this is photo shopped, and actually pictures the un-fathomable number of people at one of his rallies.......

He is the bad guy in this real life drama. No matter how hard he pushes fear and violence in an attempt to repress what’s happening the resistance will push back even harder. The genie is out of the bottle and there is nothing Putin can do to change that fact.

I don't know all of putin's influences, but I'm betting Orban, Modi, Bolsinaro are part of the group.

Make sure we apply the same tourniquets to them all.

I assume Russian, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn it was Georgian.

He never has and never will get this kind of support, unless they are ordered to attend under the threat of prison.

And he’s gonna win the narrative either way. He already has. A REAL-LIFE David vs Goliath.

And even if he’s captured or killed, Heaven Forbid, but his reputation will be cast in concrete and bronze. Wounded, he’s a continuing inspiration of great bravery and sacrifice. If he’s killed, he’ll be elevated to martyr status. And in such an event, there will arise a huge worldwide appeal to the Pope to consider canonization. And the Pope just might be inclined to frustrate Bad ol’ Vlad in a way that only His Holiness could do.

Glorioski! I can just imagine the appeals to
Rome now. The pilgrimages! The international prayer appeals! The entreaties of some of the most sympathetic victims (the Ukrainians) on earth! Who would have the heart to say no?
