I’d imagine Putin will be gone before Ukraine is defeated

He’s looking for an excuse
This is what happens when you put a comedian in chargeWho's writing stuff like this from a bunker man
Not really working too well for him at the minute like.

He’ll try to turn Ukraine into a second Belarus. It’s working pretty well for him in the original Belarus.
This is going to take some time. He’s not giving up tomorrow. One feature of the Russian psyche is patience: tomorrow, tomorrow, always tomorrow.

No, it would literally be imposing martial law.
Shooting himself in the head or jumping off a skyscraper would literally be suicide.

I don't think people are, Russia has an almost inexhaustible amount of cannon fodder. The Ukrainians are going to have to be in this for the long haul.
Unless Putin is removed it will develop into a war attrition.
It will become another Afghanistan or the Russian Vietnam. You see when you have no where to run or hide you have to stand and fight.

Hopefully. One thing is for certain, he won’t give up. He needs to be killed

Didn't expect him to give up tbf. They have simply picked a fight they ultimately cannot win.
Funniest thing is thinking Mercedes are luxury cars. G class have the price tag but most of their range are for middle managers and taxi drivers.

Some expert on radio tonight saying he’s been pushing things for a few years perhaps trying to provoke a reaction

Correct. It'll be years trying to keep a lid on things. That's going to cost him a fortune. A fortune he doesn't have in reality.
For an intellectual, he isn't very good at counting.
Also while he may have captured the mood in Russia, I don't think he has read the mood elsewhere.

The opposition in Belarus was political they were just cracked on head and locked up, the difference in Ukraine is the opposition are armed ruthless and desperate. This will become more like Vietnam than Belarus

Unlikely. They’re making slower progress than expected, but they are making progress. It’s a matter of time, and there is no obvious force that would dislodge him.

Bollocks. He's been dipping his toe to see if there'd be a reaction. A reaction he doesn't want, but now probably doesn't expect. One things for sure, he won't be lobbing nukes about.

We would joke around that people earned the same medal as us in Afghanistan while they sat at a base in San Diego flying drones.

They’re armed for now. I said he’d try, not that he’d necessarily succeed.

Agreed, one of the few countries that can stomach meat grinder style war.
