Putin the Pressure Up!

snare&racket

Well, the king of the North is being a dick again....

The mighty Putin is certainly hustling for a scrap. I have felt for some time that he wants to go out in flames and glory. Russia is so far behind the rest of the world and with China and India, the economic powerhouses of the future, Russia has little to drag itself up with.

So Putin is now flying planes over the UK with their communications and transponders switched off. The planes that carry the kind of bombs nobody want to see dropped.

The news channels are not discussing it at all, but it is impossible that western leaders are not sizing up a POTENTIAL world war 3 right now....... What do you guys think?

I also get worried when the government appear to pay very little attention to an incident that is clearly a big deal. It usually means its very serious and best not to talk about it in public.

Putin is a dangerous man. The west are handling him with kid gloves. Flying bombers up the English Channel is outrageous. Eastern Ukraine is a tinder keg. If the west arm Ukraine, Russia will call it an act of war. If they don't, Putin will advance.

NATO must stand united.

I agree cofty.

Putin is a very intelligent man and he is determined to resurrect the Russia of old.

He recently cried at a ceremony, drenched in memory of the glory of mother Russia. He welled up when the old national anthem began. Along with his sentimental KGB memories, these are a seriously bad mixture.

He knows he can't stay in power forever, I can't help but feel he wants his last years in office to be.....memorable.....

NATO should start flying planes all over his borders.

Brinkmanship won't end well with a man who sees himself as an old fashioned leader of Mother Russia. The bastard would shoot at them and blame Ukraine.

He's making a cost benefit analysis and coming up with an answer that something is "worth it". It's important to make sure that he realizes that it isn't. To much appeasement going on. Seize all their funds and all the funds of his supporters - they'll soon put pressure on him to have a change of heart

Anybody remember the other "Munich" conference, Neville Chamberlain? Putin is on a roll, one step back, two forward, Gone are parts of Georgia, the Crimea, the eastern Ukraine, the Russian minorities in the baltics oppressed, will he rest before the wall is up in central Europe again, his old office in Leipzig in his hands?

Putin needs an enemy to blame for all of Russians' problems. As long as Putin is willing to lie and Russians are too afraid to protest, nothing will change.

Western leaders should learn how to spin their rhetoric back to Russian citizens. Something like, "Why does the Kremlin spend $1M's to fly bombers into U.K. airspace, when it could spend $1M's to import better quality and less expensive buckwheat?" Dissident Russians could probably write better snippets that would appeal to Russian humor.

Although I don't like killing/wounding anyone, Western leaders/militarys should also investigate out how to arm Ukraine with preferably Russian anti-armor munitions or IEDs. If a few thousand Russian sons started returning to Russia in body- bags or maimed, Russian mothers might start to protest. I wonder if there is some way to use communication equipment, aerial surveillance, special operation tactics/training to steal munitions from Pro-Russian rebels, or buy munitions from Russians or former Soviet republics.

Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,

Whenever = "Every Time" that they say "Peace & Security" sudden (partial) destruction will be upon them.

Dang. I wasn't aware this was going on. Putin is cocky and arrogant and he longs for the glory days of the old USSR.
