(15,325 posts)For the sake of their own survival, there must be someone in Russia who has the power & the guts to wrap up that s.o.a.b. madman in duct tape & haul him off to a locked psyche ward somewhere in the middle of Siberia.

Russia has to remove Putin from power & they have to do it asap.
Like by friday, please.
