The situation in Ukraine...

[Hanafuda]

It's getting kinda edgy out there. Biden probably shouldn't have let that slip about 'Putin must be toppled.' Dangerous, could cause significant escalation. Here's a little PSA info, you know just in case ...

He didn't let anything slip, every sane person has been saying the same thing for weeks. Putin also has no options left for escalation, shy of firing a nuke and leading us to mutually assured destruction. Russia is running out of meat to throw at the grinder, let alone missiles and fuel/resources. Soon it's gonna be impossible for Putin to save any face at all back home from this war-crime-filled dumpster fire he calls a "special operation."

Borderlands tend to juggle between bordering nations if they are hostile towards one another. Ukraine was able to leverage support from both sides. Once Ukraine is part of the Western sphere, it can no longer do that. It will be interesting to see how "democratic" they become. After all, Eastern EU countries suffer from a lack of "democracy", as we have learned from the Western elites.

I hope you're right with how things turn out. Putin was reportedly appalled with what happened to Qaddafi. He still has many tricks up his sleeve of the drastic, desperate sort.

If you have seen what happend to Gaddafi and you weren´t appalled, you are not a human being. Unless he killed your mother or something.

Gaddafi dressed, talked, and acted like every other authoritarian despot throughout history. Was he as bad as US media made him out to be? Maybe not. Was he bad enough to have more than half of his own citizens clamoring for his head? Yes. Not really worth giving a second thought to, as I'm not part of a royal/ruling family.

If the US were to be overthrown one day, there would be plenty of people who would want to do bad things to the president. Let´s not forget that many politicians (including Mike Pence) supposedly feared for their lives on Jan6th last year.
I do not take pleasure in seeing somehow tortured though. To each is own.

I didn't say I take pleasure in seeing it, I said I haven't given it a second thought. The US doesn't have a dictator or royal family, and if it ever does I can safely say I'd be fine with revolution, no matter how bloody.

Being hated by half the population also occurs in democracies. That was my point.

not much has changed in Russia, Stalin starved the Ukrainians in the 1930's and Putin bombed them in 2022 , the same lies still being told , at least some of the world didn't sit back and doing nothing this time.

well the Russians say they fear the 'Ukrainian Nazis', but if I was Russian I'd fear my own government and Putin's friends in the CCP more. It's pretty bad when Hitler is 3rd , beaten by Stalin and Mao

As long Biden is still in power. cough" Cold war will brew as this leader of the free world flumbles in world stage by continously leak intel.

Stalins terror targeted all kinds of peoples of the USSR, including Russians. Unfortunately, Germans and Jews had their role in creating the Soviet Union. As bad as Stalin was, the debate whether the starvation was deliberate, is ongoing. Russia - similar to China, but to a lesser extend - had missed the train regarding industrialization, causing other nations to abuse them. The communist revolutions could be seen as attempts to create parity through painful shortcuts.
I am not justifiying it, but it is not as black and white. We tend to create cartoon versions of history to calm ourselves.

Corruption and internal Money Laundering (by stealing funds from Miliarty and governmental use ) has really destroyed Russian society where they can not even pretend to be a functioning Nation any more
