   > better take puto putin out BEFORE he destroys the Earth   
      
   ### - problem there is: putin is actually a moderate compared to what's   
   just waiting in the wings to replace him lol (a whole bunch of far-right   
   nationalist fanatics even more hateful/despising of the west than putin!)   
      
   so replacing him isn't really the problem, nor option?   
      
   ultimately: the 'problem' is the west's singular refusal to negotiate   
   russia's security concerns, as 'were' being addressed - for 8 years - via   
   the minsk agreement... (via said agreement russia was only asking for   
   access to the black sea via crimea & 'independence' for the 4 southern   
   regions which were under constant attack from kiev... having taken the   
   minsk agreement off the table altogether, however, left russia with no   
   alternative but to now annex those 4 areas in order to continue protecting   
   them, the rebel/ volunteer forces protecting them before not being enough   
   on their own to resist the now re-armed ukrainian forces which were   
   building-up to an all out attack on those areas, and prolly on crimea too!   
   the russian invasion 24th feb preempting that attack!   
      
   the 'point' being that russia is thus fully committed to staying the   
   course come what may, they can't simply back-out now, and, from their pov,   
   are actually fighting for their existence! (i.e., you have to understand   
   that ALL this from the very beginning has actually been an attack upon...   
   russia!)   
      
   thus cornered russia IS gonna be going ALL the way!!! (they have to! now   
   they've started they have no other choice!) so the ONLY possible solution   
   for peace NOW is for the west to relent some and come up with summat to   
   address their security concerns before it all escalates into some kinda   
   nuclear confrontation! (which is inevitable if the current escalation   
   isn't halted! see?)   
      
   (imho, we're secretly just waitin' for russia to make some/any kinda move   
   in that direction and then we're gonna clobber them with everything we   
   gots wiping them off the face of the planet, and if a few dozen millions   
   get killed in the process then so what?? europe (the old world heh) will   
   be gone along with russia but america will prolly survive, and then it's   
   recovery time + full steam ahead until they go fuck with china too LOL !   
   world domination here we come!!! yeaaa! :)))   
      
   methinks that's the plan stan... else they've/we've done ALL this (killed   
   'all' those millions of peeps over the years in sooo many wars) for nada...   
      
   'problem' is... just can't see/imagine the west backing down any either?   
      
   and THAT makes a nuclear confrontation at some point... inevitable!   
      
   (thus russia will either win in ukraine or be the start of ww3 etc etc, as   
   per that article...)
