I think the quickest and easiest way out of this is to get rid of Putin, himself, first. He is alone in wanting to engage in any sort of war in Eastern Europe. It seems to me that the easiest resolution is to get rid of the very person who started this war. That reduces the impact for everybody.

Sad day for all. To try and cheer myself up, I imagined that if the US had not elected Biden, Trump today might be marshaling the US military for an invasion of Canada to break the woke Communist Trudeau, install an America First kleptocracy and save the brave truckers who were facing “genocide”.

If it’s Putin or WWIII, the choice seem pretty obvious to me. Take out Putin and avoid the war.

That’s just what I said. It’s one man against everybody else including most of his own people by the looks and sounds of things. So do you kill thousands on both sides over this one man? It makes no sense to me. Just be sure and don’t miss like they kept doing with Hitler.

Yeah ask every woman he was involved with what kind of badass the asshole was.

Its a great solution, it’s the implementation part that doesn’t seem feasible. The guy supposedly lives in a bunker…
