you're right it won't affect putin (much) but nothing really will - short of ousting him from power.

Disturbing image, and not because of the Novichok.

He'll find a way to say that Biden, in doing exactly those things, somehow did the totally wrong thing.

POtuS wrecked many things and exposed flaws in our society; tearing the veneer of Lindey's public image really was not one of them, Graham was gonna graham all by himself. Did McCain have a magic flute to keep the asp in the basket?

Possibly no effect on Pootie-Pie directly, but Russia is starting to hurt. Did you know 55% of all prescription drugs in Russia come from out of the country? Did you know IKEA has shut down its Russian stores?? Did you know APPLE HAS SAID THEY WON’T SELL IPHONES IN RUSSIA?!? Even Poopin won’t be able to avoid the shitstorm a’comin’.

Not the absolute worst response I've heard, considering he is sort of pro-Ukraine, but Jesus Christ, Lindsey. (And Stauffenberg did not succeed any more than the other couple dozen attempts on AH's life)

So, my sister & teen-aged nephew are making pro-Ukraine signs to put on their lawn because one of the neighbors declared "Fuck Ukraine. Putin's gonna show them how it's done." Ugh.

Those who can, do.

Those who can’t, run for office.

And are drunk 24/7/365.

After the bomb, having been moved, failed to kill Hitler, it was still possible for the plot to succeed. The Army was arresting SS etc. Josef Goebbels was meeting with Albert Speer when the phone rang. After hanging up he said to Speer: 'It seems there is a putsch taking place in the Reich. I think you should stay here' Then Goebbels started working the phones including a call from an irate Hitler wanting to know why the radio was still saying he was dead. Hitler even sounded suspicious of Goebbels. Then came the sounds of feet on the stairs. It was an Army major, there to arrest Goebbels. History within a few hours is again balanced on a razor edge.

Challenged on his oath of loyalty to Hitler, the major replied that Hitler was dead, Told by Goebbels he was alive, the major said he would believe it when he heard it from Hitler's lips. 'Very well, major as you wish; and he handed him the phone. . And there the attempt to overthrow Hitler failed. Persons who think Putin's reign can be ended by some political / judicial process may be nice but they are not in touch with reality.

I see now Putin is claiming the West imposing sanctions against Russia is like a declaration of war at the same time as saying his invasion force leveling Ukrainian cities can't be described as prosecuting a war on pain of arrest and imprisionment

Trump would be in the cross-fire if the oligarchs battle rather than being the neutral money launderer.
