How many lives would have been saved if there had been a successful attempt to assassinate Hitler in the early 1940s by those who were physically close to him?
Putin has learned the lessons. Even his ministers have to stay 20 feet away. The excuse is covid.
One fucking man, just one fucking man is going to wreak misery and death on millions of innocent people. He really needs to be removed by one of his peers, but he won't be. He has no peers.
My biggest fear is our Russian water heater needing spare parts in the next couple of years.
He was just playing around and making the European leaderslook foolish sitting at the end of his table. He always intended to make his move once his Chinese friend's games were over. The games finished on Sunday evening and he marched in the very next morning.
