Someone sure is in a mood tonight.
Go get your weasle greased by a cute set of Thai lips and tongue, that should solve it.

Sorry, I totally misread that.
Putin says a lot of things, but one thing I believe is the truth is his deep concern about NATO's presense and expansion across Europe. Hell, that screws up all his Empire building plans, not to mention his legacy which has to be center in his mind.
If this were a game of chess I think it's fair to say that he's been placed in a stale-mate position. Maybe in a few days when all those fucking tanks and missiles get dragged out of there the people of Ukraine can finally get a good nights sleep, and their kids can go to school without the trama of having to hide in a bomb shelter. That's all I really all I care about.
Putin is just one of many thousands of old white men grasping onto the straws, trying their best to hold onto power.
Over the coming 5 - 10 years all these old white fucks will be out of power and / or dead, and the rest of the modern world can continue progressing along without their bullshit.
I think we’re oversimplifying by ignoring the religious aspect of the conflict. The Orthodox have a different way of looking at these things. The Moscow Patriarchate regards itself as superior to Kiev although Orthodoxy came to Russia along that route
Yes, I read the Washington Post too, and agree the cat is an apt description of what is happening in the Ukraine. Whether the cat lives or not is actually less important to me then finding out if this this was Putin's end plan or we pushed him into this position. You play chess you tell me.
I admire your courage in assuming that you or I can find out such a thing. I’d use the phrase “a nod is as good as a wink to a blind man”, especially as Matt and his love of YouTube has been a major contributor to this thread - and the unparalleled insights of posters like Amazing Dodgems too
One thing you won’t see in the Washington Post, a newspaper incidentally I never read, is the attribution for all the photos they publish of Russian tanks driving through snowy landscapes. There is, I understand a unit of Russian government propaganda happy to feed such photos to a gullible Western media. Bluff, counter-bluff, propaganda, disinformation and misinformation - knock your socks off attempting to figure it out
