I'm sorry Col but the blokes totally off his rocker, **** knows what sort of damage could be caused to everywhere in Europe if radioactive material is unleashed into the atmosphere. We should just send in an SAS unit to eliminate him
Number 1
Roman Abramovitch.


Just seen a clip of Putin’s speech. He pretty much explicitly threatened nuclear attack on anyone who gets in his way.

Sorry @rangercol , he is nuts. He doesn’t let people within 20 feet of him, he rants for hours about weird alternative history on TV….he’s boxing himself into a corner. He’s destroyed the Russian economy in a day, it’s just a question of how much damage he does before his regime collapses and they shoot him.

Alright, alright!! **** me.

It's not like I was sticking up for the ****!
 
The yanks are quick to send a drone over Afghanistan to take out a Taliban despot should be easy to send one to Moscow to wipe out this blood nutcase
 
Well I don’t like to say I told you so….but I did so ‘I told you so’ !!
(Not bad for a message board ‘general’ who talks rubbish, eh ?)

As Stan mentioned, the fact that Putin has come on tv and basically threatened the world with nuclear weapons is a scary and worrying development. The man is is obviously as nutty as a box of frogs as could do anything

So where do we go from here ?
I see only 2 options that are good for the world..either he gets taken out by his own regime as someone, or group of generals, realise where this is going and decide to oust him.
Or we in the West let him have Ukraine, set up a puppet government and kick the can down the road until the next ‘situation’ occurs

Neither are perfect but then again, it’s better than Nuclear Holocaust

If that was a realistic solution to this particular challenge it would have been done already. Sadly it would just reinforce and justify Russian suspicion of the West/US, and make things worse.

I can’t see much beyond these two possibilities. I hope it’s the first one, and it happens quickly, and then we reset our relationship with Russia.

As just said to Staines, any assasination attempt has to be either Russian or Ukranian - we have to keep our hands clean else it'll just end up in a disaster. And, whoever does it, they need to make sure it's done right, or we're in one hell of a mess
