[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not that the truth matters to the delusional people of this forum, but the main schism in Putin's administration is over hardliners' push to use tactical nukes in Ukraine. Highly influential longtime insiders like Karaganov, whom most of you have probably never heard of, are advocating ending the war by making an example of Ukraine so Europeans think twice about continuing their campaign against Russia. Putin is the one counseling restraint because, lawyer that he is, he actually believes in observing the treaties on non-use of nukes and is worried about the precedent that using nukes could set for the ongoing Middle Eastern conflicts that Russia has an interest in. [b]Anyone who cares about Ukrainians had better be rooting for Putin to stay in power because any would-be replacement would be much further to the right than he is.[/b] [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for this insight. It's hard to find anything except regurgitated CNN talking points on DCUM nowadays. [/quote]

No. I disagree completely with the both (or one) of you. The reality is that Putin is not demented like Trump, and does not listen to FAR RIGHT CRAZIES who want to use nuclear weapons. Putin is a cruel, obsessed, paranoid leader, whom NO ONE should support. If he dies, there won't be a crazy to take his place, but someone more like him, pragmatic and not addled with far-right theories. And we won't support the new guy either.

But the probability that anyone who reaches the top of the heap in the Russian Federation would be nuke-friendly is infinitesimal.

Stop giving air to the Nuke Nutjobs.

Kinda in the same vein to what some of you are saying about Putin (I think)... We should hope for someone to come from outside of the political arena in the US to break through political barriers like Trump did. Yes, like Trump did but obviously not a person with Trump's poor character and lack of integrity. Trump's 2016 victory was against all odds and against everything the RNC and their financiers wanted. They were even trying to figure out how not to give him the nomination at the convention right up until a few weeks before the convention.

I'm thinking a Teddy Roosevelt or Eisenhower type who has accomplished meaningful things outside of the political arena before pursuing political leadership positions. Someone who doesn't have established relationships with the corrupted elements of our political system. We need a leader that breaks through based on the will of the people and not the will of our wealthy and power political investors. It just needs to be an individual with the character and integrity we expect in a POTUS.

Russia needs someone kinda like Putin in some ways but not Putin himself due to his aggressive and unpopular to the world ambitions. Not sure if I'm on the same page or not but just a thought.[/quote]
