Shedding tears for a dead tyrant. Think of all the future lives saved. Of a Russian people freed. This is why special ops and killer drones were invented.

Putin plans to attend the G20 summit in Bali Indonesia in Nov 22.

More sanctions and declaring him a war criminal. How weak a response is that!

The declaration of war criminal isn't weak at all, Luee.

You should read up on it.

How weak? Ask Milosivich (sp?)

Huh! He is just going to continue with the invasion killing innocent civilians. A drone upon the head would be far more appropriate and effective.

Get right on that. We will keep an eye on the papers to see if you have had any luck.

Putin is an evil autocrat, No one could be worse at the present time. A delusional narcissist with a low value on human life.

I suspect people said the same of Lenin until Stalin came along.

Luee's lack of imagination in this regard is somewhat striking.

How many nuclear missiles would the next person have to launch to be worse?

How many of his own people would he have to have killed?

How many world leaders would he have to have assassinated?

Personally I find luee's move from Ukrainian Nazis deserve to be invaded to Putin is the worst human imaginable fascinating.

And I wonder how much thought the Let us assassinate Putin extrajudicially people have given to the safety of our president, whoever that is, after our next military activity in an unfriendly nation.

Of course, if he pushes for something and it goes well, then he should get credit.

And if he pushes for something, but they outvote him and it goes badly, then we would say "he was outvoted."

One can lead a group without the group agreeing to everything you promote. Is this news to you?

Currently, he is getting credit from diverse groups for helping to bring voices together over the Ukraine mess. This seems to bother you.

You have contrary information? Iraq and Afghanistan often as Veep, for instance.
