About two and a half seconds after he is chucked of the roof of the midtown high rise that hosts his propaganda farm.

It could be the splat heard round the world.

Opinion
WWIII has already started in Ukraine. Europe and the U.S. should wake up. | Trudy Rubin

https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/russia-ukraine-civilian-death-toll-world-war-biden-20220303.html

Please don't hit me I have nuclear weapons.

Opinion:
WWIII has not already started and so long as no other country joins Russia in attacking others it will not be WWIII. That doesn't mean that Russia might not spread its attacks to other countries, only that if there is a single country instigating conflict that it does not equate to a world war.

I've been shot by snipers, Javelins, and rockets fired aerial
I lose the tanks of Moscow, as farmers laugh hysterical
From Donetsk to Odessa, we are fighting terrible"

"Do not invade. We have already lost this war."
- from a Russian pilot

This will not stop Russia's efforts, of course. Russia never meant to keep Ukraine intact and still doesn't. He just planned on less loss of Russian life and far less video of the difficulties.

During the Holocaust a Ukrainian woman, Maria Blishchik, hid a young Jewish girl in her home, ensuring the survival of Fanya Bass. Last week, Fanya Bass' granddaughter, Sharon Bass, helped two young women escape war torn Ukraine. Their names are Lasia Orshoko and Alona Chugai who are Maria Blischick's granddaughters! No doubt Fanya, who has unfortunately since passed, was proud to repay a debt of almost 80 years. Lasia and Alona arrived at Ben Gurion Airport with Sharon right there to greet them. Sharon embraced the women bringing this incredible story full circle.

No troops, no planes, no drones, some springfields, and a stoppage of buying Russian oil and no big macs. Putin is not scared. How about a drone attack on the Kremlin? End this mess in a hurry and save lives. Biden is such a sissy boy!

As I have pointed out before, we do not want a world in which taking out the head of the other countries is considered standard and appropriate.

Doesn't matter what the (totally rational) Law Fare Blog says - if Putin wants to pretend that is casus belli, who is there to stop him? Same as the made up "atrocities" caused by Zelensky, etc.
