I hope something really bad happens to him real soon.
I think the surrounding countries should over-run russia and take it over.

(61,700 posts)he's out of Moscow or St Petersburg. I don't care for many of the rural folk there, either.
I guess he's hoping for WW3 before he goes to Hell.

(3,551 posts)Cruel efforts under Stalin to impose collectivism and tamp down Ukrainian nationalism left an estimated 3.9 million dead.
At the height of the 1932-33 Ukrainian famine under Joseph Stalin, starving people roamed the countryside, desperate for something, anything to eat. In the village of Stavyshche, a young peasant boy watched as the wanderers dug into empty gardens with their bare hands. Many were so emaciated, he recalled, that their bodies began to swell and stink from the extreme lack of nutrients.
"You could see them walking about, just walking and walking, and one would drop, and then another, and so on it went," he said many years later, in a case history collected in the late 1980s by a Congressional commission. In the cemetery outside the village hospital, overwhelmed doctors carried the bodies on stretchers and tossed them into an enormous pit.
The Holodomor's Death Toll
The Ukrainian famineknown as the Holodomor, a combination of the Ukrainian words for starvation and to inflict deathby one estimate claimed the lives of 3.9 million people, about 13 percent of the population. And, unlike other famines in history caused by blight or drought, this was caused when a dictator wanted both to replace Ukraines small farms with state-run collectives and punish independence-minded Ukrainians who posed a threat to his totalitarian authority.

(7,638 posts)Let him keep killing civilians? You talk as if there is no line he could cross that you would want him quashed. One little dick asshole holding the world hostage is an acceptable scenario to you? Fuck let's just get it over and have a ticker tape parade for him.

(6,535 posts)or WWIV or maybe V if you believe as I do that the U.S. lost a cyber/social engineering/espionage war in 2016, but they really seem to want to escalate things with global crises wherever they can instigate them. Truly demented.
