Re: History proves: Trump is right, Putin is a genius

Putin has outsmarted the entire world with the Moskva ship story. As soon as he had shot down the harmless Ukraine missals he ordered a fake story be issued that the ship had been hit. While holding his sides laughing he also released a tale the ship's sailors had abandoned ship. Now he has completed the ruse with a story the ship has sunk.

Has anyone seen a picture of a burning or sinking Moskva? Of course not. The ship is fine. It is being hidden until the right moment when it will attack Ukraine's hapless army.

I'm sick of "reports" of Russian troops looting and pillaging in search of alcohol. They are searching for Molotov cocktail ingredients, as part of Putin's switch to a lighter, more nimble and cost-effective military.



Meme-sters make think this is a joke, but Revelation 4:6-8 proves that God will laugh last.

Don't feel bad, Mr. Mayor. Once the (wrong kind of) Nazis have been eliminated it's Mission Accomplished time on a yacht in Costa del Sol. Anyone who thought this was going tot be more than a special Ukrainian operation was badly misguided and a fool - no offense to your staff.

The New York Times has been eavesdropping:

He's also getting rid of his old stockpile of obsolete, maintenance-heavy equipment. Now that all his old clunky tanks have been blown up, he's replacing them with more nimble alternatives:

To be honest, I don't like the news today. Russia says it is giving up on conquering the city of Kiev. This was Putin's big objective.

What could have happened here? Huge numbers of Russian tanks rolled in. Tanks win wars. Ukraine had no tanks. Now there are dead burned out Russian tanks all over Ukraine.

I'm thinking these defective tanks came from some $hit hole country. Maybe from some place like China. They were the low bidder and sold Putin inferior tanks. It makes me think Putin should have asked for the help of the world's most brilliant negotiator, Donald Trump. Trump would have bought Putin quality tanks at a good price.

Re: History proves: Trump is right, Putin is a genius

The New York Times has been eavesdropping:

But what do they know about war? New York has never conquered anything.

All that suffering is part of the plan to make soldiers more eager to get the war over with, and therefore more eager to attack. It's like a putting pressure on a spring, all this frustration is going to burst out. Also, Putin is killing off untrustworthy generals, and coup-happy paratroopers. Just look at how many African tinpot dictators got overthrown by paratroopers. But not Putin. Putin is the world's smartest tinpot dictator.

Removing the top people should shake things up, get some new blood into the brainstorming sessions, and instill a healthy sense of the career consequences of failing to produce results.

New blood sounds like a good idea. It baffles me that any of Putin's generals would decide to invade Ukraine without enough gas in the tanks. Yet I watched them all on TV saying what a good idea it is. It reminds me of the time Colin Powell went to the UN and lied about yellow cake in order to get his war.

Another smart move would be to replace all personal staff, so none of them could be substituted with an unethical type for example a (trusted) food taster could be replaced by an (unethical) body double who was genetically engineered to be resistant to (say) off eggs.

Any news on this front? What's needed is to hire as many new faces as possible, thus thwarting the body double factory's cunning plan.

Re: History proves: Trump is right, Putin is a genius

As I recall, one of Putin's predecessors tried the same thing prior to WWII, and the Russians helped us to a minor extent and were on the winning side in THAT war. Removing the top people should shake things up, get some new blood into the brainstorming sessions, and instill a healthy sense of the career consequences of failing to produce results.

Re: History proves: Trump is right, Putin is a genius

There is good news coming out of Russia. Putin has fired several top people in the Russian government. These included incompetents who did not know Ukraine had soldiers and guns.

New and better people will now be in charge. I'm confident we will see rapid progress by the Russian army and victory soon declared.

Re: History proves: Trump is right, Putin is a genius

The Putins and the Trumps know that winning is about getting to the top of whatever it is. Once you get the top job then people have to do what you say whether they like it or not. That's the power of True™ leadership.

Amen, dear Brother Dr. Toole! Winners always find each other, and they complement their kind very nicely. Why, you will never hear of our dear President Trump hanging out with depressing losers, such as sleepy Joe Burden or that Nancy Pelousy woman. It's no wonder President Trump and President Putin get along so well. And, thanks to President Trump and his considerable influence within Fox News, he has been able to ensure that President Putin gets only the very best, truthful coverage broadcast to the airwaves around the world!

The Soviets have always been "counter punchers". Ants to an elephant - this has always been their strategy.



Once several million young Russian men have died, Ukraine will be exhausted, the Red Army will learn how to operate and eventually win. History has written this tale about 100 times by now.

Re: History proves: Trump is right, Putin is a genius

People in the liberal mainstream media are complaining about casualties and devastation. Duh! It's a war, that's what happens. I'm sick of all the complaining... "I can't afford gas", "I can't pay my rent", "Daylight savings is annoying", etc. People need to accept reality, or face consequences.

Re: History proves: Trump is right, Putin is a genius

Maybe there will even be cannibalism. Forget Molotov cocktails, the real story here will be the babooshka backrib barbecues.

The Ukrainians are going to starve first, because their farmers aren't farming. Putin tricked them into wasting all of their time towing away "abandoned" tanks.

Stupid Ukrainians - you can't eat tanks!

Re: History proves: Trump is right, Putin is a genius

Maybe some remember how Trump looked like he did not know how to campaign before he won the election in 2016. In pool it's called "playing like a guy with a broken wrist." It persuaded Hillary not to campaign. Then, BOOM, Trump won the election.

Putin is doing the same thing in Ukraine. He sent actors into the country. The actors pretended not to know much about the tanks, pretended to break down, run out of fuel and food. The actors are trained to stop the tank and crawl out. Then they are to say to any Ukrainians nearby, "Oh my goodness. My tank broke down, I am so helpless."

As soon as Ukrainians think they are defeating the Russians they will let their guard down. Putin then send in his good soldiers and first-rate tanks. It will be over in no time.
