WTF does this mean.?
Putin is a fucking Despot.. Just like any other Despot, the World will be a better place when he is dead. Being strung up like Mussolini would be to my liking.
I can’t quite fathom some of my fellow conservative’s passion for dictatorial Thugs.

Well, there is, fortunately, one statesman in the United States and Europe, a high political figure, who has made a very sensible statement about how you can solve the crisis. Namely, by facilitating negotiations instead of undermining them and moving toward establishing some kind of accommodation in Europe, in which there are no military alliances, but just mutual accommodation.
He didn’t say it, but it was something like George H.W. Bush proposed in the early-90s after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Proposed what they called a partnership for peace, which would be open for Europeans generally, Eurasians as well, it wouldn’t eliminate NATO, but he would live to the promise that NATO would not expand to the east. Firm promise to Gorbachev. Keep to that. Allow NATO there, but kind of deemphasize it so other countries could join, including Russia, for that matter, and move toward a Eurasia with no military alliances.
I think DeGaul had a similar vision. Emmanuel Macron, in his initiatives trying to contact Putin, suggested something similar. So, going back to the one Western statesman, he didn’t mention all of this, but he suggested something similar. Move towards negotiations and diplomacy instead of escalating the war. Try to see if we can bring about accommodation, which would be roughly along these lines.
His name is Donald J. Trump...
I can’t quite fathom some of my fellow conservative’s passion for global nuclear war. So we'll just have to settle it the olde fashioned, eccie way, with a poll to see whom we think will be the first one to Push the Button. US or THEM.
