Putin is the equivalent of the ricer who spent tens of thousands of dollars on go fast plastic, fancy rims, custom interior, and neon lights to make his 2005 Civic look like it was a real speed machine. And spent bugger all on the actual drive train, even skipping regular maintenance to get cool decals. Then he spent hours boasting about how he could beat anyone off the line.
When race time came, he managed to blow up the engine and transmission.

But his nuthuggers will insist that because the car looked so rad, it has to be the best race buggy around.

Last I checked, Putin was still in charge of the Russian Federation, no? To some extent, I sympathize with your disappointment that Russia failed to collapse into civil war. But only to a small extent, as I regard the collapse into civil war of a major nuclear power as, well, undesirable.

Meanwhile, how's NATO / OTAN's favorite comedian, Zelenskiyyyyy, doing with pushing the Russians all the way back to Moscow? How many billions of "our" money have been sent into his war machine, which probably consists largely of overseas luxury real estate? Has your boy Biden been successful in destroying the ruble? Looks to me as if he's doing a much better destructo job on the dollar.

But, carry on ...

Wait, there's more.

"There’s a reason
@BBCWorld
and
@CNN
won’t show you the brutal reality of the #Ukrainian failed counteroffensive. They are complicit in the delusion that this war can be won by an increasingly depleted and demoralised #Ukraine, they are complicit in the perpetual war mongering that allows this gory reality to happen on a vast scale yet remain hidden from the western taxpayers ignorantly funding it.

🚨 Warning very Graphic footage 🚨 Here a group of foreign mercenaries become trapped in a #Russian minefield and pre zeroed artillery kill zone. Their American #Bradley vehicles destroyed except for one. This tragic reality should be shown to all those who wish to travel to Ukraine to partake in this terrible conflict fomented and perpetrated by #US and #British war addicts, they will not see this footage of young men being maimed, killed and crippled for their vile ambitions. They like the BBC and CNN will look away denying the reality and fulfilling their prescribed narrative. Disgusting."

and then, as they come off the line from said city, instead of having to pay them you have them retreat through a minefield you just laid...

wagner were told to retreat through 2 corridors when they were replaced on the line in bakhmut. both were mined 3 hours prior by MLRS rocket.

then when they do actually make their way through the minefield and make it back to camp, hit them with attack helicopters.

@Pat,

MoA has been simping so hard for Putin his avatar is the Russian flag.
And the "graphic video" is the same incident that's been shopped around for weeks, and played more times than the Rodney King beating.
Don't turn into Filthie. Get a second act.

@Jim Wetzel,
I'm not hoping for a Russian civil war, for exactly the reason you outlined. But that's more up to Prigozhin than me or you, i'n'it?
A simple coup, by Makarov Retirement Party, followed by people with no dicks on the chopping block, who simply fold their tents, and retreat back to Mother Russia, and blame the whole debacle on the late great Pooty Poot will do just fine.

As for Z, I haven't heard of him vowing to "push the Russians back to Moscow". Maybe you have a source for that Straw Man?
They're doing an excellent job of shoving them back inside Russia, considering the early odds had them non-existent as a country by February 28th of last year.

And Emperor Poopypants is not "my boy".
And I've spent more time and electrons than you have detailing the decline of the dollar.
So maybe spend less time in the cornfield building an army of straw men, and more time responding to what's actually on the table.

Better luck on your next effort.

Had Putin gone full Stalin and bombed the columns, arrested the survivors and their families, tracked down the leaders and their families for Lubyanka spa treatments, show trials, coerced confessions and executions, he'd be fine.

Instead he went yapping with his tail between his legs- and is only barking now because the threat left.

Keep it tight Aesop.... The Caine Mutiny reference might pass over some heads :).

'and they're sure as hell not "100km from Kiev"' as I would only need to add '... yet.' Russians will keep doing the same thing till it does not work, then they will just do plan B which could be Wagner again by a different name.
