1. The"swamp"?They sure don't mind copying the worst parts of our politics

And those toddlers and grannies are just such dangerous Nazis.

[iemanja]

10. They have their own pathologies

and may not be copying from US politics.

[themaguffin]

16. to be fair, most of it came from Russia to install trump

[Walleye]

17. A lot of this came directly from Paul Manafort.

He goes back a long way in dirty politics, working with Roger Stone on the Nixon campaign. I still want to know why he was going to Dubai and what the hell is going on in Dubai

[SergeStorms]

41. No extradition treaty with the U.S.

That's probably the biggest reason, and Manafort's "skills" as a dirty - win at all costs - political tactician would be very marketable.

[Walleye]

44. Good point also they have plenty of disposable $$$$

[SergeStorms]

50. Boy, do they.

Instead of spending the money in infrastructure for the people, they'd rather tempt the world's rich and powerful with race tracks, golf courses, and I believe the next World Cup Soccer tournament is going to be there.

It's a wealthy person's paradise, but no one wants to live there. It's total insanity! 🤯

[A HERETIC I AM]

59. The 2022 World Cup will be played in Qatar.

Which is right up the coast, (about 230 miles away from Dubai as the crow flies and 400 or so driving miles) but it is not a member of the United Arab Emirates.

[SergeStorms]

62. Right you are.

I get them confused. Seen one pile of sand you've seen them all.

Thanks for the correction.

[A HERETIC I AM]

63. No problem

[uponit7771]

21. or vise versa

[yardwork]

22. It's very possible that script was written by Putin and given to Trump.

[Escurumbele]

47. They may have told the republicans to use "swamp" during their campaigns, maybe it came from

Putin, and not us? Maybe Putin or one of his "campaign managers" came up with the idea and gave it to republicans.

[Walleye]

49. I'm blaming Manafort, he actually came up with the "lock her up" chant in Ukraine election 2014

[The Unmitigated Gall]

2. Arm them. Massively. To the teeth.

[lagomorph777]

9. Absolutely. Ukraine needs much bigger weapons to knock out major Russian military sites.

And I mean both in Ukraine and in Russia/Belarus.

[RKP5637]

19. And they need the fighter jets they want for their pilots. n/t

[lagomorph777]

24. Yes.

By acting scared of Poo Tin, we only encourage and empower him. Send in the jets and big anti-missile systems and cruise missiles.

[RKP5637]

27. Yes, I agree. Despite all that is being done we seem timid when he says nukes. He should be

told to fuck off, call his bluff, and send in the jets and big anti-missile systems and cruise missiles. Whatever is done, this is not going to end well, I think we are beyond a diplomatic settlement ... and if there is a diplomatic settlement ... he might likely use it as time to rebuild for his next assault, perhaps. I'm all for bringing in the heavy stuff now. We've been dicking around now too long and it's clear, at least to me, he's in to genocide.

[Pepsidog]

55. I agree with you. Don't let him hold us hostage.

[Lovie777]

3. Russia will also be affected by the nuclear blast. . . .

soooooooooooooooooo, Russia wants to end Russia as well

[Evolve Dammit]

38. He may be guessing the world might not retaliate and he gets away with that too? He has never been

accountable, kinda like TFG.

[Earth-shine]

45. Putin has repeatedly demonstrated that he does not care if his people are killed,

and he uses their deaths as propaganda implying that the Ukrainians are the aggressors.

Russia is a big place, and it is likely that only a small part of it would get irradiated by using tactical nukes in Ukraine.

And speaking of nukes, Putin sent people into Chernobyl and they dug up the soil.

[ProfessorGAC]

56. Which Leader Of That Country Did Care?

Maybe Gorbachev?
All the way back to Ivan the Terrible, the citizenry were cannon fodder, or even worse.
Nicholas, Lenin, Stalin....
Putin is the norm given their history.

[Earth-shine]

60. You speak the truth, Professor. He learned it from them.

> Maybe Gorbachev?

That may be true as well!

[OhioTim]

52. The Prevailing Winds In Easten Russia

from the southwest would take fallout towards Moscow.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

4. Putin is planning on massive purges and ethnic cleansing if he wins in Ukraine

Putin had mobile crematorium trucks sent to help in the ethnic cleansing

[RKP5637]

5. Putin, will mow Ukraine into oblivion. He is not going to stop. At some point the rest of

the world will have to tell him to fuck off with his I have nukes. What form that might take, I have no idea, but IMO he will continue to use this modus operandi and who is next.

[Grasswire2]

6. and the Russian people (what we've seen in interviews) seem to support this..

...this view that Russia can and will take whatever it wants, that other people are scum and have no rights or value.

It's eye-opening. They are going to go after the Baltics again, too.

[Lucky Luciano]

7. My wife points this out, so she supports death and mayhem of the average Russian citizen.

They are guilty as well. Falling for propaganda is no excuse.

[RKP5637]

15. Yes, but their only source of news is Putin's state media. Putin has eliminated any other media. He

is severely brainwashing his own people.

[Crunchy Frog]

34. Yeah that's bullshit.

Loads of younger Russians have VPNs and talk freely and openly about their bloodlust on Telegram and Instagram.

And how does that explain this behavior by Russians in Germany?

[RKP5637]

43. Interesting, thanks! n/t

[I_UndergroundPanther]

61. that is the most disgusting thing I have seen this year

fuck those pro genocide monsters in that parade of disease.

[RKP5637]

14. Yes, I doubt too many believe this will stop. Putin has lost it, whatever he had, and IMO has

become a madman. If he gains Ukraine, he will be relentless, and the Baltics will be next. And he's propagandized the Russian populace to be with him. To me, Ukraine should be provided the fighter jets they want for their own pilots. Ukraine could establish the no fly-over zone. At this stage I would not be too surprised to hear he has used chemical weapons and/or some type of a strategic nuke strike.

[Crunchy Frog]

31. There was just a massive pro-war demonstration in Germany,

Mostly coming from Russian citizens of that country.

The "poor brainwashed Russians" narrative doesn't wash.

[vlyons]

8. Banderite and Putin's evil vengence

Had to look up Banerite in wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banderites

Seems to me that annihilation is just pure evil vengence. Planting land mines as they move out of areas to inflict punishment.

[Grasswire2]

18. putting mines on some bodies, too, that are left behind

I read that, as well.

[Dirty Socialist]

11. The point of no return?

Are we past any sort of diplomatic solution?

[Flaleftist]

23. I think the best thing that could happen now is for someone close to him to eliminate him.

He seems to have made up his mind and is willing to take his whole country down with him.

[Crunchy Frog]

37. I've been hoping for that from the very beginning

but it's not looking too promising at this point.

[tavernier]

12. Putin already got the curse of the old Ukrainian grannie when this started:

“He will die in a pool of his own blood with his throat slit.”

I know what old grannie curses can do… I watch baseball. I’m not normally gruesome minded, but I do hope granny’s curse is televised.

[NCjack]

13. The West must defeat Russia and divide it into about 20 nations. Moscow must be a

city state to prevent Russia from ever aggregating enough military power to threaten other nations.

[Ilsa]

25. I think that's a great idea, and I would

support keeping putin alive to see what he's done to his country. Allow Baltic nations the option to annex nearby ports, and other friendly nations to do the same on Russia’s eastern ports. Land-lock them. De-arm them, especially of nukes.

Personally, I think he must be terminally ill with cancer or something.

[RKP5637]

29. He's changed significantly. Something is going on with him. He might know he's running out

of time to recreate the USSR, because he is sick/terminal. Maybe ...

[JI7]

64. That would create more problems. The problem in this case is mostly one man

Just about anyone else in Russia would not be doing this .

[yardwork]

20. Swamp. Where have we heard that before.

[intrepidity]

26. Thread from OP

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1510898134481788930.html

[Crunchy Frog]

28. Link to entire article in translation.

https://cryptodrftng.substack.com/p/day-40-what-russia-should-do-with?s=r

[Liberal In Texas]

51. The russian OP shows without a doubt they want to put the Soviet Union back together.

From here on, russia will go its own way, without worrying about the fate of the West, relying on another part of its legacy: leadership in the global process of decolonization.

As part of this process, russia has high potential for partnership and alliance relations with countries that the West has oppressed for centuries and are not about to put on its yoke again.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

30. Where do they get stupid idea that Ukraine is ran by Nazis?

What the hell is being told to the Russian masses?

[RKP5637]

32. Dictatorial playbook, find a scapegoat and blame them, rally the populace against them.

Why he choose nazis, I don't know, but that seems his strategy ... and often people fall for the propaganda without thinking WTF is really going on.

[erronis]

33. Again, same as repuglicon playbook. Accuse the other of being what you already are.

And then demonize them.

[lunatica]

35. They hate Hitler for Barbarossa

Invading them and causing so many Russian deaths is still a fresh memory for Russians. Millions of them were killed by the Nazis.

So Putin says his enemies are Nazis deliberately to get them pissed off and wanting revenge.

[gab13by13]

36. Putin can't have a country on his border

that is a thriving democracy. Ukraine is a threat to Russia's autocracy.

[Crunchy Frog]

40. It's the propaganda line that they're running with.

It's also basically a projection.

[JHB]

57. The sliver of fact in that fiction is the Azov Batallion

They were extreme-right white supremacists (if they weren't neo-Nazis, they were still in that political neighborhood) who formed a group of armed volunteers in 2014 to fight Russian-backed separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk. They were effective enough that the Ukrainian government played nice with them and eventually even made them part of the regular army (although after they did that, it really toned down the rhetoric of its founders).

However, it's one-point-something percent of the Ukraine military, its backers who tried to go into politics lost pretty badly, and doesn't really have any influence beyond being "the guys who helped plug a hole when we really needed it."

But all it takes for shameless propagandists is some grain of truth to disguise a mountain of bullshit. Witness our own Bullshit Mountain, FOX News.

[marie999]

39. I am post this until DU tells me to stop.

Send in NATO troops now. If it starts WWIII then Putin was going to start it anyway and soon. Maybe it will get one of Putin's people to kill him.

[RKP5637]

46. Yeah, I've been thinking sort of the same. Maybe give Ukraine the fighter planes they

want and see where it goes. The Ukraine pilots can establish the no-fly zone.

[calimary]

42. A desperate dictator could easily be expected to do desperate things.

God help us all…

[RKP5637]

48. I don't trust the stability of Putin, I think he has health problems and who knows what

is going through his mind. My hope is, if he gets really wacky and orders a nuke strike or whatever his generals, etc. won't follow his orders.

[Pepsidog]

53. Gen. Wesley Clarke said in a recent interview the West may as well arm Ukraine to the teeth as they

are willing to fight Russian forces so better take care of them now rather than later. According to Clarke. Putin won’t stop at Ukraine so we are going to need to confront him at some point so better to do it now than later when American lives maybe in jeopardy. That oped is terrifying. It lays the foundation for the justification for complete genocide of the Ukrainian people under the banner of “denazification”. Russians aren’t trying to hide their intention to eliminate the country of Ukraine. The op says a separate Ukrainian country is not sustainable. This is pure psycho babble. Putin has lost his mind.

[Grasswire2]

54. and after Ukraine, it will be the Balkans...and more.

He won't stop.

[airmid]

58. Why in the actual f is Russia still on the UN Human Rights Council?
