The Little Tsar thought he'd stroll into Kyiv in three days. 900+ days later, and the dunce has gotten his oil refineries on fire, economy in the toilet, 600,000+ as 200 or 300 cargo, his country sanctioned, and a warrant out for his arrest. What epic folly. Way to go, little man.

Breaking news: Putin Hiding behind women and children now.....
-
Russian news better get Swan Lake booted up and ready to air
-
He knows he is in trouble and things will get worse
-
That's how a dictator, nearing his end operates...
-
The fool should be getting his family out, not cementing them in.
-
Is this the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning? Not sure, but this is a bad move. A leader isolated from the people he is supposed to lead will invariably lead to disaster.
-
This is one of the things you very often see happening before dictators are deposed.
-
In case most of you were not aware the main cause of the accident at Chernobyl can be traced back to nepotism. Any further questions?

This is what the beginning of the end for Putin looks like. It starts off slow and ends very fast. This is what is best for Russia and the world. The downfall of Putin.

Well… Putin knows he’s a dead man walking …. He cannot stop in Ukraine even if we wanted to… The entire Russian economy is now built around military production…. And when that stops…. So will his heart Lolol

He's starting to 'Circle the wagons' he knows the game is up - if he wants to avoid a cell in the Hague he'd better cut and run soon. We know where you are Vlad ... ... ... time is running out.
-
Has Putin ever realized his way of running a country may not work at all?
-
Good idea promoting people into positions they are totally unsuitable for. Sideline the FSB at your peril.
-
A whole generation of men have been killed for a single man's ego. What a catastrophe.
-
Good, more incompetent people on important positions.
-
He´s paranoid? GOOD! Good things coming our way!

That young guy pilot in Spain was paid 500 000 USD and then started partying with Russian people in Spain and flaunting his money. He was probably briefed about his security but you can’t force someone to do anything
