>>379059He'll be signing stacks of presidential pardons and blank ones for the highest bidder/blackmail. Not too shocking.
>>379059I think he's just passive-aggressively flipping of his own party at this point. They basically pump-and-dumped him for four years, so now he's getting his revenge. First he endorsed Harris before the bosses had a chance to pick someone better, now he's tossing them this firecracker. My guess is he's been overplaying his senility for lulz as well.
>>379059I dunno nuttin' about it, but my gramama done told me he got pardoned for everything going back 10 years. Ukraine 2014? We giving up Ukraine and trying to salvage Syria as consolation.
>>379069>We giving up Ukraine and trying to salvage Syria as consolation.Lmao. Unless Putin takes the whole of Ukraine, Russia already lost. If the war "freezes", it'll be a second Syria a few years down the line.
>>379072>self-portraitHe's a dumbass if he allows NATO to keep sending weapons after the peace treaty.

>>379071>>379073I'll grant I haven't been following the war all that closely, but Ukraine looks pretty much fucked from where I'm standing.
>>379076>tl;dr: Ukraine is a pyrrhic victory 4 Russia, at best.Putin has tried to secure the geopolitical situation of Russia for well over 20 years now. He succeded in Belarus, but that's about it. He failed in the Baltics and is poised to fail in Syria and Ukraine as well.
>Wdym, Jewkraine is finished lmaoAnd am sure the trannies are livid because of it. But it doesn't really matter, jewkrainians were a sacrificial lamb from the get go. It should be obvious given the careful dosage of military aid. (Just enough to prolong the war.)
Putin's initial plan was not to take some lame chunk off of Ukraine. He wanted the whole country. And frankly, unless he manages to take the whole country, that "special operation" was a waste of resources.
And that's just when it comes to NATO. The Armenia - Azerbaijan thing is making central Asia drift towards China. Russia is an overrated rump state that tried but failed to reconsolidate into an empire. It will only grow more dependent on China as time goes on, until it fully becomes their vassal state.
>>379081>Putin has tried to secure the geopolitical situation of Russia for well over 20 years now.You misspelled "recreate the Soviet Empire." This project has enormous support among ethnic Russians, who read yellowed, dog-eared copies of "Soviet Life" magazine from 1974 and see the phony propaganda pictures of the G.U.M. department store in Moscow with shelves full of cheap East German cigarettes and cheap Czech fruit brandy and say "I want that, no matter how many Yakuts and hohols have to die." Babushka wants her cheap cigs and cosmonauts, that required invading and enslaving two thirds of Europe to pay for. This is why Putin is popular. If Putin and all his cronies and all the generals vanished tomorrow nothing would change.
Russians believe they deserve to be Europe's colonial masters. Russians are extremely enthusiastic about the old Soviet project of global conquest so long as they aren't the ones getting conscripted. This, plus the half-assed trickle of aid the Ukrainians have received, are why the Ukrainians have a nuclear weapons program. At this point they'd be insane to believe Western "guarantees." They have a large, belligerent neighbor with a long history of invading them and carrying out mass murder on the scale of millions, a nation whose politicians and propagandists repeatedly state their intent to invade, conquer, colonize, enslave, and exterminate them, down to the last infant. Fortunately, thus far the Russians' capabilities are not a match for their intentions--this year. The entitlement and yearning for empire seem to be deeply rooted in the Russian psyche. As Russian culture is a combination of all the worst aspects of European feudalism, all the worst aspects of the Mongol hordes, and fetal alcohol sydrome, I don't think it's going to end until at some point the Ukes turn Moscow and St. Petersburg into self-illuminated glass parking lots. We have already reached a state where the only thing that is going to make the vatniks behave like civilized human beings is culling their numbers down to something manageable, blame the Bushes and Clintons for creating the conditions for this mess thirty years ago. It would have been so easy to dictate terms to Yeltsin in 1993--trials for Soviet war criminals, proscription of Party members and KGB thugs, stripping them of their nuclear arsenal and returning all of it to the people who were enslaved to create it, full de-Sovietization. But that would have taken effort. They expended all their political capital on moronic foreign adventures and destructive domestic policies, leaving Russia wounded, sulking, and resentful but not correcting the problem at the source like we did for the Germans and the Japs just a few decades before.
>>379067He said "nigger" while in official capacity. We must not forget that.
I went out to the town center and loudly made my case against this travesty. Irl shit posting is the way. Meme war vets should at the least flyer.
