[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three years ago, someone here on DCUM stated we couldn't do anything about Putin because there are worse actors waiting in the wings to take his place. This individual also stated the U.S. wanted to see Russia's capabilities. I am no politician, but this sounded like an amazingly stupid way to handle the invasion.

Here we are, three years later. Russia is reeling in powerful allies in the form of China and India among others, using North Korean soldiers, and now trying to antagonize Europe and the U.S.

Where are those idiots who thought they were so clever we could handle Putin but not the other figures waiting in the wings? Because Putin is trying to start WWIII. I don't think Trump has the chops to handle a world war. [/quote]

The Wagner guy was probably one of the problematic "waiting in the wings" people -- but Putin did us the favor of taking him out himself, due to his own paranoia.  I'm not sure there's anyone that really "waiting in the wings" that has any real cojones at this point.  Putin eliminates anyone that seems like they have the capacity for independent thought and action.  Chaos might be waiting in the wings.  Or maybe just incompetence.  If we are wildly lucky, there is a lurking Gorbachev type who is greatly irritated by all this, but sitting tight until he or she (who am I kidding -- it's Russia.  He.) can build some kind of a coalition.  [/quote]
