And not pleasantly.

This made the front page of the New York Times.


Russians Now See a New Side to Putin: Dragging Them Into War
Russians thought they knew their president. They were wrong. And by Thursday, it appeared too late to do anything about it.
Russians awoke in shock after they learned that Putin, in an address to the nation that aired before 6 a.m., had ordered a full-scale assault against what Russians of all political stripes often refer to as their “brotherly nation.”

Putin may not survive this. He's losing.

Russia has got 3 miles of tanks entering Kyiv according to satellite feed. . This liberal media "Hero talk" is out of control. The Ukranians will fight, but will ultimately lose a 1 on 1 battle. Putin will fall when NATO attacks or hes taken out by his own dudes due to a Libya-style uprising or military takeover to get rid of him

The real problem Putin has is going to be the occupation of Ukraine especially with the amount of arms being funneled into the country. The Ukrainian military planned for a long bloody occupation, that is there objective is to bleed Russia dry. How is Russia's 150,000 troops going to govern a population of 44 million people?? Most of them armed with AK47's.

Let's speed it up. Any Russian soldier that surrenders in Ukraine gets offered permanent residency in the US (barring serious criminal history).

Are you serious?? Please, God, no. How can we determine criminal history? We are inundated with Afghani immigrants who don't speak the language and don't want to assimilate.

CAN WE STOP TAKING THE FOREFRONT IN THIS AGGRESSION? CAN WE LET THE REST OF THE WORLD DEAL WITH THIS, INSTEAD OF ALWAYS US?

This is a pleasure, to step back, sit quietly, and let other countries participate in ending this evil.

Looks like a whole lot of them will be armed with AT4s and NLAWS, as well.

They're doing a good job and their president deserves admiration for being in charge as well as for staying instead of fleeing. They have Russian captives and are broadcasting their names to the Russians back home. One of the Russians said she had no idea her brother was out in Ukraine fighting and she said HE probably didn't know he was going there either.

This maniac has to GO! How about some poison like he uses on people, but use it on him!

You’d probably only have to offer them a bottle of Vodka each.
