it is extremely poor taste and triggering to call that “best play”

I don’t want Putin to have a face-saving way out so that any dictator who fancies himself an alpha male will think twice about invading another country.

@Trolly, do you think Trump and Cuepee both learnt how to use capital letters in the same place?

Should history also note the numerous times that Donnie Dumb Dumb praised Putin, aka the greatest monster of the 21st century, aka Hitler 2.0?

Maybe, but it looks like he’s been indiscriminately firing rockets at apartment buildings in Kharkiv. I’m guessing it’s intended to force Ukraine to come to the bargaining table. He got away with all kinds of war crimes in Chechnya.

Just wait until American conservative #COVIDLogic starts being used.

“Putin may have murdered 100,000 Ukrainian children, but many of them would have died of something else anyway!”

“Hey, those kids died WITH war crimes, not FROM war crimes, necessarily!”

I can’t bring myself to “like” this, but it’s so on point.

I could see this being a thing if distance actually equated to safety. If they can send nukes halfway across the world, it seems like Putin would be in range of somebody somewhere. Maybe plant a poison dart in his chair…and when he sits down, its game over.

Well, distance just presumably prevents someone in his inner circle pulling out a pistol and putting two in his smug face in some sort of martyrdom suicide attack.

Is Cuepee tarding up the twoplustwo Ukraine thread?

I glanced at it on Thursday and it was total dog shit.

Wow, honest self reflection from an American ex-diplomat, how refreshing.

Cuepee gets a lot of shit, but he does make a lot of valid points IMO, albeit not points I’d expect the majority of posters on this forum to agree with. The thing is, he is completely incapable of brevity. His verboseness is really off-putting to a lot of posters, and I don’t blame them - I often just either skim his posts or just skip them completely. I suggested before that some sort of browser extension / forum option implementing the old MS Word “Auto-Summarize” feature for certain posters would be a godsend.
