A big Problem for Vlad is that his Ukraine mistake is likely Non-Survivable.
If Putin fails, or decides to retreat from Ukraine, he will be torn apart if he stays in Russia. But there is no place else for him to find sanctuary anymore. Napoleon had St. Helena. Juan Peron was allowed to retreat to several other countries including Spain (Maybe it was a mistake, since he took over Argentina again in the 1970's until his death.) Even the mass murdering Idi Amin was allowed to live out his last days in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Then the short sighted rabid leftists decided Augusto Pinochet must be punished and he was arrested in London in 1998 for "Human Rights Violations." The old idea that dictators could find sanctuary died with his arrest and the rise of the feckless "World Court."
Imagine if instead of starting the Second Iraq War, the US and Great Britain promised Saddam Hussein peace if he took a few billions and fled Iraq? If Qaddafi could have fled Libya before both he and it were torn apart by a multi-sided civil war? Assad the Optometrist in Syria? The option of exile eliminates the selfish need for an internationally unpopular and murderous leader to drag his entire country down in flames because he personally has no other options.
Now Putin likely has nowhere to safely run to. Maybe China is the only country powerful enough to tell the Holier than Thou Moralizing Progressive Secular Left to f*** right off? But why would they?
Vladimir Putin will die in Russia. Whether his death is peaceful in his old age, or sudden and violent from failure in Ukraine, he will die in Russia.
Why do people who loudly pretend to be American Patriots not grok the fact that maybe the people in Ukraine also believe in 'watering the Tree of Liberty with tyrants and patriots' for their own land? That they too might rather die on their feet than on their knees? Or may after centuries of Russian oppression and murder decide "never again"?

Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.
Comments are fully moderated, due to idiots and trolls. Grown up discussion here will appear just as soon as I have the time to push it through. ANONYMOUS UNSIGNED COMMENTS WILL BE AUTO-DELETED WITHOUT MERCY, and the url added to the spam filter, or mercilessly mocked at the bloghost's sole discretion. If you're too chickensh*t to come up with an alias for online purposes, you're not tall enough for this blog. Pick a name, and stick with it, and you're good. Get cute, and you're wasting your time and my electrons, and your masterpiece will never see the light of day. No warning shots will be fired. If you can't maintain decorum and polite behavior, I won't toy with you, I'll squash you. If one of your comments disappears, YOU f**ked up. If all of them do, it's time for you to go. Disagree with the points made, on the merits, and you're good. Go after me personally, or other commenters, and your comment will never see daylight here. My tolerance for skirting the line is at absolute zero, and will remain there. Don't f**k up.

Another year of "Russia stronk! Putin is totally winning you globalhomos!" coming right up.

As one who raises bees and enjoys the peace from political pollsters after posting my legal signage of beware of Bees.
I must note that bees commit suicide as they die from stinging, as the barbed stinger pulls their guts out.
Sort of like Ukrainian Trench video reports I've seen on German TV recently.
The Ukrainians are willing to die to kick Russia out of their own country.
The Russian kids are running for the exits.

Bees are also willing to die for their hive.
