Look how angry this little turd nugget is. He’s a manipulative psychopath who has every reason to be the villain in any story.

    I find it hard to believe this is a legitimate translated quote. Putin admitted Russian bodies are littering the streets in Kursk?

    Edit: Yeah, this seems to have low credibility. If Putin put out a statement, it would be spread through official Russian channels. If I search for the first part of the statement, I get just one sports-related article about Andy Roddick’s reaction to it, which cites the statement this way:

    The alleged statement by Putin, posted by an X account is as follows:

    Putin’s breaking statements come from X accounts? What is he, Trump?

      Close enough.

    He’s not just a manipulative psychopath, but a craven coward.

    The entire Republican worship of him is weird, but that to me is the weirdest part. They seem to like him so much because he’s a conservative strongman, so he represents their ideal. But that means they have to be oblivious to the painfully obvious fact that his shows of political strength are really all about the fact that he’s a frightened little poseur.

    He blames everyone else for everything he does, he constantly cries about how supposedly persecuted he is, and every time that someone challenges him, he has them killed. So he doesn’t have the courage to take responsibility for his own actions, much less to face their consequences or to stand up to anyone who disagrees with him.

    Or in other words, he’s a coward.

    And you know… that opens up a whole line of thought I haven’t followed before. Is the fundamental driver of conservatism fear? It appears to be anger - that’s the broad impression - that conservatives are angry and hateful. But is it really, underneath that, that they’re frightened and insecure?

    I think that just might be the case. That explains a lot of things that didn’t make sense to me before…

      Anger acts as an umbrella emotion, yes I think it’s accurate to say there’s a lot of fear in your average conservative.

        From my observations of them fear is the root of the ideology.

        Fear, anger, hate, suffering. Yoda knew what he was talking about.

      Always has been. Fear and a resulting willingness to latch on to any distraction from that fear, no matter how illogical or unreasonable.

      Maybe that’s why, they feel a connection to him.

    “Breaking”

    Is this important enough to interrupt someone, as to call it breaking?

    What exactly is it breaking from? It’s not interrupting a running program on tv that would warrant the term breaking.
