Putin, the dumbass, should be more worried about how his failed war, in Ukraine, is harming his country.

More like a nuclear powered drone sub with a nuclear "dirty bomb" inside. It's only purpose is terror.

I hope we aren't taking the nuclear threat lightly. I get a sense the public as a whole doesn't think it will happen. Putin is on the edge.

DICHOTOMY IN RUSSIA:

Supporting the withdrawal from Kherson is a violation of Article 280 (1) of the Russian Criminal Code.

Opposing the withdrawal from Kherson is a violation of Article 280 (3) of the Russian Criminal Code.

Both have similar, years long prison sentences.

If Ukraine wins the war some of my cronies want Ukraine to go on and invade Russia. IMO Ukraine's best option is to win the war and start to rebuild. If they invade Russia all hell will break loose.

If Ukraine invades Russia, Russia will be justified in using nukes in retaliation.

I don't think there's a justification for using nukes. It's a WMD whose use would affect the entire planet, including Russia. I'm of the school that nuclear weapons are deterrents, not options. They're too destructive.

BBC News

(Ukraine’s President Zelensky visits liberated Kherson - BBC News)

Quote:
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenksy has visited Kherson, days after his troops recaptured it following Russia’s withdrawal.

The president sang the national anthem with soldiers and residents as the Ukrainian flag was raised.

The recapture of the Kherson was the “beginning of the end of the war,” Zelenksy said.

Russia took the southern city in March, weeks after the invasion began. Losing it is a major setback for Russia - though Moscow insists it remains Russian territory.

Yeah, that will never happen....
Considering the USSR never repaid the USA for lend-lease, I would consider the chances of this happening as close to 0%.

Russia paid off lend-lease in 2006 (for pennies on the dollar). Russia won't have the money to pay reparations until they eliminate the kleptocracy.

That is false. It was the UK that paid it off in 2006. Russia's debt was written off. They never repaid it.
