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. |
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. |

Sounds like the assassination attempt against Hitler which killed everyone in the room except Hitler. |
Agree Biden made best decision possible |
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. |
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. |
