Putin's Historic Miscalculation May Make Him a War Criminal

[EvilCat Breath]

Right now, the only thing that will stop the Russkies is going to be ordering the ICBMs and SLBMs. Imagine a Minuteman III shoved way up Putin's ass? but Joe Potatohead won't give the order.

That is probably the smartest thing his handlers have done.

China will protect Russia and Putin.

China officially dumped Russia a couple of days ago. China is one of the oldest civilizations on this planet that lasted through five thousand years. I don't think they cared for that kind of aggression. They think that Biden the Russian is hitting on his relatives in the Ukraine, many of whom are Russians one or two generations removed.

Joe Biden was filmed this evening as leaving DC for Delaware. I don't think he has a wrap on what this war is. He has some important things to think over this weekend, apparently.

In the eyes of the world and almost certainly history, Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine on Thursday was an epic miscalculation, drawing comparisons to Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein for cold-blooded aggression that could challenge the world order and change its borders. The Russian leader appeared almost delusional in a pre-dawn speech from the Kremlin announcing a “special military operation” to “protect” Donbas, the eastern region where Russian-backed separatists have waged a war for eight years. Putin, instead, immediately ordered Russian tanks into Ukraine and air strikes on the capital and more than a dozen cities in a country of forty million people. “Peace on our continent has been shattered,” the nato secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg told reporters. “We now have war in Europe on a scale and of a type we thought belonged to history.” Putin’s “reckless” attack risks “countless innocent lives,” Stoltenberg warned.

Putin is now, at minimum, a pariah condemned by leaders across the world. “Putin is the aggressor. Putin chose this war,” President Biden said in a speech to the nation announcing new sanctions on Russian financial institutions and élites. He charged that Putin “has much larger ambitions than Ukraine.” “He wants to, in fact, reëstablish the former Soviet Union,” Biden said. “His ambitions are completely contrary to the place where the rest of the world has arrived.” In one of a flurry of statements reflecting outrage globally, the European Commission chief, Ursula von der Leyen, called Russia’s act “barbaric” and dismissed its justifications as “cynical.” In a tweet, the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, said he was appalled by Putin’s “horrific” decision to pursue “a path of bloodshed and destruction.” Putin’s military offensive put him on the diplomatic defensive. The French President, Emmanuel Macron, called the attack “a turning point” in history that will have a profound and lasting impact across the continent.

Putin may now also qualify as a war criminal, according to the Geneva Conventions of 1949. War crimes include willful killing and extensive destruction of property “not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly.” The term has been inconsistently interpreted and unevenly applied to leaders or countries—including to the U.S. and its officials—who have initiated aggression for reasons considered unjustified. In Ukraine, Putin’s “war of choice” has clearly violated international law through his invasion of a sovereign country and attempt to oust its government. After an emergency United Nations Security Council meeting, on Wednesday, the Secretary-General, António Guterres, warned that the Russian invasion could be the “worst war” of the century “with consequences not only devastating for Ukraine, not only tragic for the Russian Federation” but for the entire world.

I totally agree. The above article was written by Robin Wright - a smart lady. What do you think?

He's a war criminal, crimes against humanity, murderer, and much worse---but it doesn't matter if no one stands up to him and punishes him for it.

 

[Lakhota]

Putin is a rabid war criminal.

Is W a war criminal? How about Ears?

 

[The Original Tree]

Funny. You sound a few puppies short of a pet shop.

Did Trump destroy Millions of dollars in Putin's Russian Jets in Syria to suppress Putin's sphere of influence in The Middle East, or not?
Did Biden shut down the XL pipeline, and then turn around and help Putin get Nordstream2 started again giving millions of dollars to Putin?
Did Biden not tell Putin that a "little invasion" into Ukraine was ok?

Maybe you should go to God and ask for forgiveness and quit lying on here every day.

 

[...]

China will protect Russia and Putin.

I think that China might use Ukraine as a distraction cover and go after Taiwan.

Putin is screwed no matter which way Ukraine goes.

 

[JWBooth]

Putin is the aggressor. Putin chose this war,” President Biden What do you think?

So far, and things can change, Putin has a lower kill count (civilian or military) than Bush and Obama.

 

[22lcidw]

Putin is a rabid war criminal.

Putin is not in total destructive mode at this point.

 

[JWBooth]

History will clearly reflect that Trump and his NaziCon supporters emboldened Putin to invade Ukraine. I'm just surprised that Putin was dumb enough to take the bait.

The only Nazis in this story are being shot at by the Russians. Not that anyone would expect a peyote addled whack a doodle such as yourself to understand the distinction.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

How destructive can a nuclear power be?

 

[Calypso Jones]

Your "projection" responses are humorous - and predictable. Putin and Trump are the lovebirds.

sure you tell your lover that if they hit ukraine you'll hit moscow. Lovebirds. sure. Lakhota. i thought that might be in reference to a brave...but you're really just an indian princess aren't you.

 

[Calypso Jones]

This is quite the Reset. LOLOL

 

[Lakhota]

Putin will regret his brutal and unprovoked invasion into Ukraine!

How is it a miscalculation?

I think it is pretty clear that Putin KNEW he would be labeled a pariah and war criminal and does not care.

Why should he care?

Calling someone a war criminal means NOTHING unless they are defeated and deposed.

 

[Soupnazi630]

Putin will regret his brutal and unprovoked invasion into Ukraine!

Why?

 

[AZrailwhale]

Then LBJ should have been hung

Then LBJ should have been hung

Why? The USA was invited into Vietnam to support the legitimate, elected government of a country recognized by every government in the world, a member of the UN and a full member of SEATO.
That doesn’t mean that I don’t despise LBJ for sending me and hundreds of thousands of my brothers and sisters to fight a war he never intended to win.

Moron, Putin was contained by Trump, he was aggressive under both Obama and Putin.
