US has no good options in Ukraine

I wonder if any assassins (from whatever country) have been trying to get to Putin. I’m sure there are plenty of Russians officials who think like Putin but I also assume there are plenty are scared of what he’s capable of and would be glad if he was taken out.

Russia isn’t a backwater from a security standpoint. It would be nearly impossible for someone to assassinate Putin.

There is 0.000001% of a state sponsored assassin getting close to him.

The only way anyone, internal or external, could get close to him is a pre-planted bomb close to where he may be. It would have to be large, and most likely kill whoever planted it.

He does not travel; makes no public appearances and has the same 3 guarded people make his food. That food supply chain is also guarded/locked down.

Putin's not even using his long table anymore and meeting in person with his advisors. Today he was alone in his bunker chatting with them via video. He's trusting fewer and fewer people.

I am certain he would say the same thing if asked today.



Obviously, you disagree, but I think this was a good move by Biden. By playing it very slow and cool, so far, I think Biden has done the best job that could be done by the US right now. While we will back up and support, this is Europe's war right now, to escalate or soften, as they need to. The longer that Russia bleeds, the better, for everyone.


I strongly disagree. Putin views Biden as weak. Because he is. And, this move reinforces that.
Biden is letting Putin call the shots.
Biden has done a piss poor job. And, deciding not to send the planes that Ukraine needs is a cowardly move by Biden.

And, remember.... when Russia bleeds, so do innocent Ukrainians. That is NOT better for them.


This is debatable. Ukraine can't use the planes it already has because Russia has better anit-aircraft weapons. Those Polish planes would sit on the ground in Ukraine.

What Ukraine really needs is a no-fly zone, but that would involve NATO in direct conflict with Russia. NATO planes would have to shoot down Russian planes.

There are no good options for the US in Ukraine. I think Biden made the best decision he could about the Polish planes.

And he views Trump as his puppet - he could literally pull his strings to get him to focehstche instructed.

Trump was in his pocket as no credible banks would loan him money after he declared bankruptcy six times and did not pay bills. I believe Putin has something else on Trump as he acts so treasonously and nauseatingly obsequious around His puppet master.

It is absolutely insane that you or anyone else thinks we would be better off with Putin’s Poodle, world dictator in training running the show. He was a tool for the Kremlin. Putin hates the West and has been aggressively working to destabilize USA, Europe and Western Allie’s for many years through disinformation campaigns feeding Xenophobic nationalism that would divide countries and lean them towards authoritarian isolationism like his man Trump. Why? Because he calculated he could restore Russia to being the “glorious Soviet empire”.

He is a criminal psychopath. Trump sided and abetted his violent, paranoid, destructive world views that sought to undermine and divide liberal democracies in the West.

Ukraine is fighting the war.... not the US. But, the US seems to be deciding what they "need" and don't need.
If we want to give them a fighting chance, why don't we let the people who are actually fighting the war decide what they need?
And, there was a brief point in time when our govt. was supportive of providing planes to them. Then we weren't. What happened there?

I would imagine this was because Putin has his nukes in high apart and could easily have used this as justification to start a nuclear war.

It is hard to be rational with a psychopathic, paranoid, war criminal …

Sounds like the assassination attempt against Hitler which killed everyone in the room except Hitler.

Biden is right to take no part in this ridiculous plane scam. Poland wants to fly (if they still can) their rusting Soviet era migs to Germany who would then deliver those that could make the trip back to Ukraine. Then, Poland wants Biden to replace Poland’s rusted migs with new F16 fighters.

In case you haven't noticed...... Putin doesn't need justification for ANY actions he has taken.
He invaded a sovereign country without justification. He has bombed hospitals and apartments without justification. Everything he has done is without justification.
Biden and crew are allowing Putin to set the terms for this war. Putin knows they are weak. Putin will continue to push the limits because he knows he is dealing with a cowardly administration.

Exactly. This will only stop when he’s met with a more formidable enemy. He only respects those that are stronger. This very nice, reasonable and measured dancing around trying not to upset him is not getting the West anywhere. He’s the classic recess bully.

Working with allies take a lot more strength and patience than rage tweeting and unilateral action.

When did think-skinned whiners come to be seen as strong? They are the worst kind of coward. They can’t handle any kind of disagreement, and expect loyalty, no matter their own actions. That is not, nor will it ever be, any sign of strength.
