With Russia funding its war effort through financial gains from the close of the Strait of Hormuz, and amping up attacks while Trump’s eye is turned towards the Middle East, experts tell Maira Butt that this is a very delicate moment for Ukraine
It’s clear that Russia is not nearly as powerful as anyone thought, and there’s good reason to believe their nuclear arsenal is either severely neglected or was mostly bluff to begin with, but you can’t be sure. And any war on Russian soil is going to be hard no matter what.
Do kick Russia out of Ukraine; that’s an unjustifiable war of conquest that needs to be reverted. But make it clear that you won’t set foot in Russia and don’t pose a threat to Russia itself. That way you give Putin no excuse to go nuclear, and no reason for the Russian military to obey him if he does.
That’s the reason in my proposal only the UK and France will enter the war if Putin rejects it. If many countries will enter the war, Putin would say he is being overwhelmed and has to go nuclear.
Not after losing half a million citizens and untold amounts of Military equipment in the Ukraine. Russia is now literally weaker than they’ve ever been, and Trump has spent that whole decline sucking Putins Dick behind closed Doors instead of cutting it off.
Putin’s only powerful because you fall for that narrative. He’s a weak man, with weak ideas, in a weak body, riddled with pancreatic cancer.
Killing him now would be easier than ever, and every leader in the world is a big ass pussy about it because they believe social media over reality. When social media has been almost completely controlled by Russian intelligence for the last decade.
Putins a weak bitch that could be snuffed out in a moment the same as the Ayatolla. The only reason you think he’s untouchable is because you believe the propaganda he’s been putting out instead of the cold facts:
His economy is weak.
His Military is weak.
He is weak.
Letting him live out of the fear he’s a bigger monster than that is how he’s stayed alive this long. And it’s amazing to me our world leaders are such big pussies to fall for it. Which explains why Trump has so easily grabbed them all.
And before anybody starts to make noise about how those are in poor condition. By estimate they have 1500-1700 warheads and 1000-2000 short range nukes. Even if only 1% of those would work and we think on the low end of the estimate it would still be enough for 25 nuclear detonations, wich is 25 more than Iran and Venezuela combined.
Completely agree about the nukes. And I think that’s a good point to bring up.
Imo, and this is completely just my own perspective: We’re currently already on a course for nukes likely being used again. If not by Russia, then by the US or Israel in relation to the war in Iran.
So when it comes to an active nuclear threat, I feel we’re already there. And since we are, it then becomes better to eliminate anyone willing to use nukes than it is to wait until they’re all old enough to not care if they do.
Imo, Putin becomes far more of a nuclear threat as he ages. The next best time to eliminate that threat was yesterday. Otherwise we may not get a chance at all, as he’ll just use them anyway.
Great question. Putin is like Trump. He acts like he’s under constant threat. So if an attempt on his life fails, it just becomes another propaganda point about Russians being under threat of the West. Something that most of them are now completely sick of hearing. So it would be a piece of news immediately doubted as real, as it’s distributed through the same propaganda channels as his actual propaganda.
Worst thing: Putin would retaliate. But he currently has no army or soldiers to do so. So he’d threaten nukes as he already has, and immediately be ignored as he always is.
If the US tried to kill Putin, and failed, he’d cry wolf to an uncaring world that’s heard him say the same for decades. His complaints will fall on deaf ears until the next attempt is successful.
Russia is much more powerful than Venezuela or Iran.
I doubt they ever where. But certainly not anymore. There is doubt their nuclear arsenal even works after decades of neglect.
Would any country take that risk?
Yeah, that is a very risky bluff to call.

That is certainly a take on the situation.

All the things you say are true.
But Russia still has nukes.

That’s risky to attempt to assassinate Putin. What if the attempt fails?
