He’s already taken part of Ukraine as a defensive maneuver against a country that hasn’t made a military move in any direction for decades. Now he wants the rest of it to quell the possibility of an invasion of Russia by Ukraine.
Specious reasoning has ever been the justification for actions by dictators.
Vlad’s been living in a house of cards. He’s trying to CPR the cold war so he has a big bad meanie to fight which will keep him going longer as he tries to bring back USSR. With the USA not jumping back into it, and instead having the whole world oppose him, his card house gets more and more unstable as his own people and formerly rich friends start blaming him for their woes. Russians need to protest him till his jails can’t hold them all and they finally get rid of him themselves. He’s a cancer they can’t afford anymore.
Влади́мир – or Vovochka as he’s called behind his back – has been a rapacious little thug his entire life. I’m surprised that it’s taken his U.S. apologists so long to realize what a nasty putz Putin really is.
When I was teen, we had a neighbor who constantly turned his mower around in our yard. We asked him repeatedly not to do it due to him cutting his as low as it would go and we cut ours high so as to have a lusher lawn and everywhere he crossed it would kill our grass.One day when my father was out of town, said neighbor came to door to complain about our dog getting one of his kids shoes that was left in the yard. My mother reminded him again about not crossing the property line on his mower due to damage, He told Mother that he would be mowing again in a couple of days and that he would turn in our yard if he wanted. Mother simply stated that she owned a shotgun and that he may not make it back if he did so. Dumba$$ never crossed property line again.
It’s not just Vlad, the Communists running the USA while Dementia Joe babbles and Kamala cackles WANT the USA’s southern border wide open. They are SURE that Garland won’t investigate illegals voting for Democrats [along with dead people.] Barr was supposed to be a Republican, but he DIDN’T investigate the ‘in your face’ 2020 Democrat cheater votes.He wanted Trump gone, so he just pronounced: “Widespread voter fraud is BS.”
Next, Bob will grab his neighborhood nuclear power plant and control all the energy on the block. The neighborhood HOA won’t stop him because he paid them 2% of his annual GDP
Reminds me of my next-door neighbor, who put in an above-ground pool (with concrete base) three inches from the fence between our properties … to some people, there are no boundaries.
In our normal world, one would hope that one could call the police to charge him with the crime of trespass, and also bring civil suit for the cost of repairing damage to property. But that doesn’t work immediately, and it doesn’t undo any destruction or damage done immediately. At the level between countries, who is the “police”? Joint action by “society”? Imagine now that your neighbor starts building a swimming pool half in your yard and everyone stands around saying “Yeah, that’s OK, we’ll give him that land, but he better not step over into the Homeowner Association section . . . .”
Very clever synopsis of the current world crisis. If your lawn mower is big enough, you can do pretty well as you please which seems to be Putin’s mindset.
Bob is acting out on his neighbor’s fence because he’s angry that his self-propelled mower isn’t capable of traveling with the protest “freedom” trucker convoy en route to D.C., and somebody’s gotta pay!
Reminds me of the first time I drove a motor scooter. I started off downhill and had go around a corner because it wasn’t a thru street then couldn’t keep it in the road and went at high speed into a growth of palmetto bushes or as they are properly known, saw palmettos.

The idea of a Ukraine no-fly zone is pretty scary. The idea of a Rio Grande no-float zone has been rejected. Can we consider a no-mow zone?
