Well I think a hero like that would probably be shot on the spot so the motivation would need to be something other than money.

Only his inner inner circle can get close to.him.

Are they accurate enough or can someone cheat and get a shorter table in overnight and hope he doesn't notice?

If Putin carries on which I have no doubt he will with the war crimes already committed, then Ukraine has no choice but to fight for their territory and lives, Ukraine will never be part of Russia.

Well Ukraine better be given more help before they are bombed and shelled to the ground.

If Putin doesn't get some "Litvinenko tea" served by a member of his inner circle, then I think a drone strike on his vehicle while on the move is the most promising method of elimination (as for the Iranian Revolutionary Guards kingpin ).

The problem is that the trail would lead back to one of the very few countries able to carry out such a strike.

the West can't get foot on the ground nor planes above Ukraine without serious guarantees that Russia's red button is out of reach of Huylo Putin and other madmen in the chain of command of Russian Nuclear Strategic Forces.

I thought Ukrainian pilots were going to fly them out of Poland to Ukraine.

The problem here is, do the Ukrainians have enough pilots?

From TASS Russian news agency today:

 

"When clarifying the unfolding developments, the Russian Defense Ministry reassured that Russian troops are not targeting Ukrainian cities, but are limited to surgically striking and incapacitating Ukrainian military infrastructure. There are no threats whatsoever to the civilian population."

 

From Sky News in just one city and similar in may more.

Targeting civilians not military. Those were Russian trucks at the end of the video shown blown up?

Impossible for Putin to carry this on for years, the sanctions are to severe.

 

This from the leaked FSB agent:

"Our conditional deadline is June. Conditional because in June there will be no economy left in Russia – there will be nothing left."

Time to open the eyes and see for real what this is about. Time to wake up, cut the ignorance, stop being naive and see that this is far more than just Russia invade Ukraine. 

 

This is not going to be a short war! The worst is still ahead of us!

 

 

"BEIJING, March 7 (Reuters) - China's friendship with Russia is "rock solid" and the prospects for cooperation are very broad, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Monday."

I know democracy is a problem for you based on a previous post but what on earth are you talking about here? Perhaps stick to giving out farming advice?

Who's being naive and ignorant? China's friendship with Russia is well known now before and into the future. Nobody said it would be a short war or the worst was not still ahead either.

It is all over the place now, so pick what suits you of source.

 

An such officially statement matters even we knew before the war what the situation was, which was unclear and not  confident knowledge of many reasons you might already have read about.

Not sure what point you are trying to prove, I'm against the war, so are you, now what? Is it not better to join together to denounce Russia's act of aggression and illegal invasion that is killing so many and causing widespread destruction?

 

Trying to debate how long its going to last and bringing China into the equation as a possible partner that may help Russia economically in trade is not something that is on the radar of the pressing needs right now.
