Is Vladimir Putin insane? I think my country would suck at war

[noname223]

Here are some more thoughts of me on this heated topic.

Today I had the thought: What if Putin says: I had 70 good years while I was livinig. I don't care what is happening to the world. I go all in. And then he invades a NATO member. I am not sure how mentally stable this man is. He seems to be pretty unpredictable. It is likely noone in Russia could intervene in his decision. I read there is barely information who is counselling Putin. I read the only being he probably speaks with is God. This maniac is the one who is deciding whether humankind gets erased or not. Barely anyone could stop him. Maybe Xi Jinping could influence his decision. If they are allied or have a secret agreement WW3 would not be that unlikely. But I think the US military is too strong to challenge it for now. If I was China I would wait 2-3 decades with that. Though for Russia this might be the last chance. The development is rather going downwards.

Now to the situation in my country. (Germany)
To be honest I think in my country there would be extreme protest if all men over 18 had to go to war. We live in postheroic societies. We would have arguments and discussions about that while the Russians invaded Berlin.
I think the US would need to save our ass with some drone strikes and boots on the ground. Yeah probably it would end in a nuclear war after a while. But at the beginning I think the US could defend us. I mean if we look at the military budgets it is just insane how much the US spends. The US in 2020 778 billion and Russia 62 billion. However it would be a big problem if China (252 billion) and India (73) would support Russia but I doubt it. Europe would also be allied with the US but I doubt Germany would be a big help. Our military is shit. There are so many proofs for that. It is quite embarrassing. But I think we could export a lot of weapons.

And of course I know also in the US war is very unpopular. But believe me not as much as in Germany. Most people in my country despise patriotism. Some parties would still argue for negotiations if they beheaded civilians.
I mean the US is spending since decades insane amounts of money for military. At least this can be now useful for a good purpose. They probably have extreme advantages in their military technology compared to Russia. But the Chinese will catch up in the coming decades. Scary times to live in.

I don't think World War III would break out out of this conflict,
if Putin had the intention to invade nato member,
He would have full-on assaulted Ukraine instead of sending waves of troops to contest the capital.

seems like a test run to me, as if he's checking the various reactions. similar to a crafty boxer exposing his opponent in the opening rounds.

Poo-tin is a megalomaniac mass-murdering monster who believes he has become invincible (the very same mental illness that affected Hitler during WW II) because of shameless appeasement and woeful non-response of the West and NATO to his heinous crimes against humanity till now.

Poo-tin will not stop with Ukraine. The barbaric butchering blaggard has made it clear on so many occasions that he wants to recreate the USSR version 2.0 or the earlier Russian Empire by force and genocide and crown himself the Supreme Tsar till his death. If one looks at maps of the long (& deservedly) defunct commie Soviet Empire or the even earlier Russian Empire, one can predict the nations he will unleash his bloodthirsty genocide upon next.

At the same time, his pal Xi is watching with great glee at the spineless response and appeasement by the West. Poo-tin's fellow dictator-for-life has his eyes set upon the beautiful sovereign democratic island nation of Taiwan. Xi has been emboldened by what he sees as the cowardliness and feebleness of the West and knows he will face a similar pathetic response when he unleashes his own genocide upon Taiwan. I hope the Taiwanese are preparing right now for an all-out invasion, before it becomes too late.

The peace-loving democratic world has to unite and give a fitting response to these two evil dictators. It's obvious that they will brutally crush any protests against their policies from their own people. To hope the Russians will overthrow Poo-tin or the Chinese will overthrow Xi is just madness. They cannot and they won't.

A more realistic way to stop these two tin-pot tyrants before they cause even more suffering and misery is to win over someone in their inner circles and have them removed from power by the only way they can be removed, and that is death.

I'd rather have two vicious genocidal mass-murderers get killed than hundreds of thousands, if not millions of innocent ordinary people.
