I guess no one should be surprised about Putin having a kill or capture list. I suspect that the kill comes first as Putin is known for doing so. I also see GOPers and Trumpers telling us there is no proof of such a list and little ole ex-KGB agent Putin would never give such an order. After killing people both in his country and in other countries, why would anyone be surprised if he invades a country he will take out anyone who he thinks might object to the invasion.

It's all true. Putin was pencilling in a few names on his "Official Russian Kill List" while eating at the Waffle House and everybody saw it.

I'm sure the Russian agents in Ukraine will have a list of people they would kill in Ukraine if they have/get the opportunity. To think they wouldn't take advantage of the situation to off as many anti Kremlin Ukrainians as they could is to be naive in the extreme imo

What is funny in a dark way is that it is the US that is appealing to the UN of all organisations lols The UN will know all about the US kill lists that will include people from many countries as the US drone wars continue unabated. If I were the head of the UN I would be asking them why they suddenly want UN opinions on such things seeing as how they do the very same thing themselves only on a more global scale.

Zero Hedge acolytes (interns?) and Trumpists now find themselves in the unenviable position of having to moronically insist that Putin doesn't do things like that. Nalvany might disagree.

I'm sure you'll post the kill list any minute now.

Everyone at the Waffle House has already seen it.

Who is Nalvani?
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in prison?
Or the Iranian general Qassem Suleimani killed by an American drone?
You just make typos and don't understand what it's about [sarcasm]

WTF? Do you really think that you are writing from the land of elves?

This phony alleged war between Russia and Ukraine is getting ludicrous.

It must be embarrassing for the White House to keep saying day after day for weeks on end that Russia is likely to invade Ukraine any day now. Two weeks ago war was imminent, but they gave up using the term.

It must be embarrassing for the media to keep telling Americans half truths or no truths at all. For example you won't hear it from the media that Ukrainian forces outnumber the Russian strike force.

Then we have Putin continuing to make a fool of himself as he tries to legitimize war with the Russian people and not informing them of the dire circumstances. Body bags will begin to pile up as the Russian economy goes in the toilet caused by Western sanctions.

A few days after President Biden told the world that Putin decided to invade Ukraine, Putin agreed to a summit with Biden. "President Joe Biden has agreed “in principle” to French-brokered summit talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin as long as Russia does not further invade Ukraine, the White House said late Sunday," CNN.

That summit may not happen because Putin made a fool of himself.

Putin decided to invade Ukraine.

The Times reports, "The Kremlin has ordered Russia’s defense ministry to deploy troops in two Russia-backed separatist territories."

Putin told his nation that he had decided to recognize Russia-backed separatists in the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics. That is the Russian backed separatist region in eastern Ukraine. He told the Russian people he is sending "peacekeeping" army troops to keep the peace.

Actually, Russia invaded Ukraine eight years ago.

From the beginning of March 2014, in the aftermath of the 2014 Ukrainian revolution and the Euromaidan movement, protests by Russia-backed anti-government separatist groups took place in the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine, collectively called the Donbas region. As the conflict escalated in May 2014, Russia deployed irregular fighters, regular Russian troops, and conventional military support to destabilise the Donbas region. Wikipedia

Putin is doing nothing different. His B.S. may fool the Russian people, but it won't fool the West and certainly not the U.N. Security Council.

The media is not telling the whole story, and it fails to tell the American people that Russian troops have been in the Donbas region for eight years. We are being led to believe this is new. That this is an invasion.

It's not.

He was in the Donbas region, but that's like saying he was in East Texas and now wants to take over all of Texas. This is an escalation.

Biden's best choice is to impose full-on sanctions, and to try to get NATO/EU nations to do the same. The response needs to be swift and hard; otherwise he's just showing that the US is a paper tiger. And **** Russia's nukes - we have nukes, or did we forget that?

p.s. China is watching.

What's awesome is that I have lived long enough to see the right wing become tools of the Kremlin.

Russia is not communist anymore; they're plutocratic, which is consistent with what the US has become. There's an international network of oligarchs/plutocrats. There are some in Ukraine who are perfectly willing to work with Putin, just as there are some in the US who are. Putin uses his information warfare to exploit these fault lines.

Doesn't matter, it's still hilarious.

Don't mind that grinding noise, it's just Ronald Reagan grinding his teeth in his grave.

What if we gave Ukraine drones which they could use to target Putin if he's assassinating them?

You wanna go fight for your Lower Slobovia ("Ukraine") -- then go pick up a rifle and swim over there.

True, but Putin what wants he has not done. He has not occupied the rest of the region.

This is not an escalation. Russian troops have been in this region for eight years.
