“And if Mr Putin and the Russian officials are worried about their troops in Ukraine getting hit with weapons from other countries, then the easiest thing to do is just take your troops and leave” - John Kirby, United States National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications

        It’s not that he’s stupid. It’s that he is banking his at-home credibility and authority on his success as an imperialist. So to him, to simply leave is not an option. It is the same as losing.

          I think getting into this situation is stupid. Attacking a friendly neighbour is also stupid. Having to oppress opposition also indicates he’s too stupid to face criticism and convince his people. I think a six grader could rule russia better.
