Minithread, elicited by the *possible* (no verification yet, and #Trump is full of endless shit) dumping of #Russia by #MAGA (if you missed it, there are rumors Trump told #Europe he is continuing support to #Ukraine):

This is the beginning of the end of Russia as we know it, and the beginning of the end for #Putin

1/x

#UkraineWar

So let's recap:

In February 2022, #VDV forces landed at #Hostomel airport to pave the way for #Russia's quick decapitation of #Kyiv.

Apparently some of the #Russian #Paratroopers made restaurant reservations in Kyiv (as their joke), such was their certainty.

And, nobody thought #Russia would be this stupid, but if they did it, the world also thought #Ukraine would rapidly crumble.

How could they not? Russia was a major power and Ukraine was poor and puny.

Instead the world got a remarkable demonstration of a people grimly united in dread purpose: not only the preservation of their country, but their lives, such is #Russia's #genocidal #mafia ways.

They rose to the occasion in virtually cinematic terms.

#Zelensky, a #television #comedian, became a #heroic #statesman. The #Ukrainian people used their grit, resolve, and spirit to jerry rig a #resistance that made "mighty" Russia look like a joke. The "great statesman" #Putin became the comedian.

Fast forward to today:

#Georgia is boiling over with #protest and stubborn #political #resistance to the #corruption of their country by #Russia.

Another #Euromaidan brewing, Mr. #Putin?

#Armenia is firmly outside of #Russia's orbit, having been abandoned in its struggle with #Azerbaijan as hampered #Russia could not secure the #peace. Now Armenia works with #Greece, #France, etc.
And no one, least of all #Russia, escapes realizing the ramifications of one of their most important, longest, and vital #clientstates: #Syria, slipping away, as a distracted Russia could do nothing as #Rebels backed by #Turkey swept the country and #Assad crumbled. The #cruel #regime is over, the #Syrian people now with the potential for #hope in their long devastated land.
Yeah, start sweating you turd.

The #Russian #economy is in trouble. The #Ruble drops, #interestrates are sky high, #inflation: you can't kill or maim hundreds of thousands of your men on folly while directing a huge part of your economy to #shells and #tanks and put that on the national credit card, without serious long term ramifications.

Even if you take all of #Ukraine tomorrow. You're looking at years or even decades of pain.

And now, what #Putin was banking on: #Trump abandoning #Ukraine, *might not happen*.

😲

Throughout history we see #fascists backstab each other. And you're looking so weak, dear #Putin, even the orange clown is giving you second thoughts.

Trump tells Europe his administration will continue military support for Ukraine – FT

US President-elect Donald Trump has assured Europe that his administration will continue military support for Ukraine once he takes office.

Ukrainska Pravda

Oh dear, dear Mr. #Putin. During #COVID, when it is said you sat in dusty #Russian #historical #map rooms, sniffing your own farts, high on your own #ego, dreaming of being the next #PeterTheGreat or #IvanTheTerrible, and you thought: "sure, let's go for #Ukraine"...

Did you imagine it would go this bad, botox ghoul?

You're doomed #Putin.

It's only apocryphal, but apparently, the gruesome gory video of #Gaddafi's end, it is said Putin watched it over and over again.

Because you saw your fate.

And now it is getting much closer.

Due to *your* efforts.

#SelfFulfillingProphecy.

What will it be Mr. #Putin?

The #Oligarchs getting together and offing you since they realize the obvious you see as well?

Or will #GorkyPark become the next #Maidan Square?

/end

Oh yeah, you can go away now too:

@benroyce he was hounded into a sewer pipe and Hussein caught in a hole in the ground. These monsters end their lives as cornered rats. Putin?
