Putin is a paranoid coward.

[fightforfreedom]

He is so brave when he attacks women and babies from long range. He is afraid of the Ukrainian army because they fight back. When you fight back against Putin, he doesn't know what to do. He just lashes out against the innocent who can't defend themselves. What an asshole.

This is the definition of a coward.

1. "attacks women and babies" - It's also the definition of a Republican.

2. True, but Republicans don't launch long range missiles at women and babies.

Not yet anyways.

5. Yet

And seem quite comfortable with the whole shooting up schools thing.

3. Yes he is.

Not just a regular coward, the most evil and disgusting kind: baby-killer.

4. He replaced 1000 personal staff of his. Not the brightest move, but very paranoid

That's 1000 new people close to him that have to be vetted and revetted and are less known to his close aides. 1000 people to train in the middle of multiple coincident crises.

Much easier to slip an operative in there to poison Putin's door knobs and underwear when the lot is "new".

6. It is clear the Ukrainian army is kicking the shit out of the Russian ground forces.

That's why Putin is killing women and children from long range, Putin is losing. I believe the number of Russian soldiers killed is much higher than what is being reported. Tens of thousands of shoulder fired missiles have flowed into Ukraine and the Ukrainian soldiers are using them with great success. Do the math.
