"Putin delivers personal show of force, firing a sniper rifle at a Russian military base"

[Towlie]

Funny headline!

Why would Putin fire at a Russian military base? Was he implying that if his soldiers didn't win then he'd shoot them all?

[DFW]

1. It's probably the only place left in Russia where they still let him hold a firearm.

At least at a military base, there are hundred other guys with guns who will perforate him if he tries to "punish" someone for not volunteering to leave with the next transport to Donetsk.

2. Snicker. Big, brave, he-man!

4. A more realistic 'show of force' would have been for him to push a dummy out of a window!

5. In basic training they were pretty particular ""Shoot THEM!"

Shoot THAT WAY!

6. What an asshole.

7. Okay, did he fire AT the base, or was he IN the base

when he fired it? That headline could go either way.
