(1,575 posts)1. This is sick.
There has to be someone in Russia, in the hierarchy, who has the balls to get rid of Putin. I know, the person would probably be executed, but I would think that the government people would say this is enough.
Maybe I'm naive about this but Putin has got to go.

the people at the Trump Rallies, and CPAC have publicly supported.
Putin knows his military is whipped and that it will be pushed out of Crimea too.

Or grandmas at the mall or church.
So Putin killing kids is fine with the MAGAs.
