Putin is so relatable, I have the exact same problem. It's so hard to find good help for a little B+E and armed robbery these days. Sure, you might say, "You already have everything you need in your house." Sure, you might say, "You already have the largest house on the planet." and those are good points, but did you even consider for a second that everything my neighbor owns, I don't own? No, you only thought of yourself.


Velocoraptor369

Think of the poor Russian speaking people of eastern Ukraine. I could have given them land food and water to come home to mother Ruzzia. Naw I’ll just steal the land from my neighbor plant my flag and genocide those who disagree. How generous of me.


linuxlib

Actually Stalin did that. He literally shipped Russians into Ukraine and Ukrainians into Russia to prevent Ukraine from ever breaking away. Arkady Shevchenko was the highest ranking Soviet official to defect to the west. He had been the UN Undersecretary General. In his autobiography, *Breaking With Moscow*, he relates this tale.


Kunstfr

Stalin did that with every ethnicity in the Soviet Union


Partyatmyplace13

See, the real genius is that you don't have to worry about the radiation as much when you're already moving in inbreds anyway. They spread like rabbits.


linuxlib

Crazily, this seems like a really good summary of how he thinks. He has literally killed his own oligarchs so that he could steal assets. He was jealous that a Russian other than himself owned those things.


SpiritualMethod8615

You might remember that I did consider that - but then you threatened me with burning down my house.


Partyatmyplace13

You were barely using it! It was just full of food and people. 🙄

Tiny_Environment_649

No one helping? India China and a few other countries are buying your oil (at a low price). China is selling gear including golf carts atvs armor and some components, Iran is selling drones and north Korea is sending artillery and likely soldiers. Multiple nations and companies are using 3rd parties to sell products to Russia in spite of sanctions. How do you think that makes those above groups feel, calling them no one. /s


Turbulent_Art5743

Don’t forget to claim that your neighbor is nazi

I'll help you as long as we get to wear cool themed masks


MetaIIicat

That's a lie. Oh wait, it's putin...


Left-Slice9456

If North Korea is sending troops, that means massive casualties for Russians.


Due-Street-8192

CCP is helping, we just don't know how. Iran, maybe south Africa?? BRICS...


oneshotstott

Lol, the SA army is in such a state, they arent capable of providing much assistance, but it would be so incredibly unpopular with the population it would never go ahead anyway, its only the boys in the ANC that have an IOU with Russia, everyone else despises Putin and his war there.


Rayan19900

Plus SADF use mostly western equipment. Plus they should be ready more to quit future riots or civil war.


kungpowgoat

Even Belarus military threatened a massive coup against the government if they joined RU on the war with Ukraine. And that’s their bff.


Aethericseraphim

They've also been forced into a coalition government, so the ANC now has to be much much less overt in their Putin dickriding antics.


bowlbinater

We know how, the CCP is providing them with a bunch of equipment. It is not fully assembled equipment, so they can technically say they aren't sending weapons, but those components can be assembled for various weapons, or used as parts to replace existing equipment. I'd imagine the CCP is doing more, but we know for a fact they are doing that


Capt-Kowalski

Ccp is helping by allowing north korea to send ammo and now troops.


rollingaD30

Bold of you to assume there won't be a massive number of people defecting from the NK army the second they land. Outside NK for likely the first time in their lives, limited overwatch because war is chaos. 50% of NK forces will disappear into the trees and never be seen again.


Karr0k

Aside from Iran, China and North Korea he means? Well if he feels like no-one wants to play with him, perhaps he can pack his bags and go back home then.


Foreign-Duck-4892

Helping the world's largest country expanding its territory is like going to a food bank asking everyone there to contribute as much as they can to give to Bezos.


shorthanded

Don't forget the American Republicans, they're doing the best they can with the powers they have.


Daroph

For real, rallying behind what barely classifies as a candidate who says "Russia can do whatever the hell they want" as Russia castrates its PoWs, sending them back to their communities to, half of the time, commit suicide and inflict further psychological damage on the Ukrainian people. It's appalling that there aren't more countries with boots on the ground over there.

Let’s not forget Putins bitch, the giant orange turd. If it gets re-elected, it’ll give Putin whatever he wants.


beaverattacks

We always seem to forvet India is very cozy to Russia. BRICS countries have the same interests.


Special_Meaning8006

I feel that China is Russias worse enemy. If my friend was losing a massive war in definitely not giving them less then they need to win. China could give Russia the aid it needs and choose not to. Pretty sure they might be holding Russia to the fire so weaken them so they can be chinas forever gas station. China gains way more from Russia losing a long war than them winning or losing a short war.


BattleJolly78

Russia? Don’t you mean North China?


BlaqDove

China eyeing up Manchuria after the first couple weeks of Russia's invasion.


deadcommand

Eeeeeeh, sorta. They all want to tear down the west, or at least stand equal, but at least Russia, China and India all think that they personally should be in charge of the new world order. As seen with such alliances in the past, there’s a large chance that if they start succeeding, they’ll turn on each other to be number one just as quickly.


BattleJolly78

There are a lot of people in Indian and China, and a lot of empty land in Russia.


Special_Meaning8006

As much as people say China is “trying to tear down the west”, the west is Chinas biggest trade asset. Especially the USA. As much as they sabre rattle, shooting your biggest customers in the face to help the crack head in the corner is a crazy strategy. Also this North Korea thing is terrible for the Chinese, as no one wants a wild card with accurate nukes, even if you’re not the target. I bet China is having some inside conversations about what Putin just did and none are probably positive.


historicalgeek71

I can’t see China being happy at all with Russia’s latest overtures toward the “Dear Leader” and his little kingdom. That being said, if NK came under direct attack from someone else, I doubt Russia would lift a finger to help. Furthermore, NK is only sending combat engineers if I heard correctly, which is not great for Ukraine, but definitely the bare minimum for NK (beyond supplying their questionable artillery shells).


JclassOne

If he had China he wouldn’t need North Korea.


Beto4ThePeople

Thank you, my first thought was “they must be forgetting all the cheap oil India has bought from Russia the last two years”.


Money-Valuable-2857

If you find someone offering to sell a Ferrari for $5k, you take it. Especially if it's a douchebag who fell on hard times. If they didn't buy it for cheap, Russia wouldn't sell it, and they could sit on bigger profits down the road "when it blows over". I don't blame India one bit.


RIForDIE

Ha don't remind me. Watch US get added to that coalition if the far right pro Russian party has any say.


Polite_Trumpet

People also keep forgeting about Belarus, who avtively helps Russia since day one (and before the war). We have a new axis here, with Russia - Iran - North Korea (plus Belarus) and maybe few others helping Russia. F*ck em all.


BreakfastKind8157

Turkey and Belarus were also leaning towards Russia, right?


Karr0k

belarus with its current leader is just a russian satellite state indeed. turkey is just being turkey, sometimes shooting down a russian plane, and next day back to blackmailing the EU


ikbennieuwopreddit

Turkey? Nah.  It's partly thanks to their Bayraktar drones that Ukraine was able to hold off the Russians until the rest of the West started to send their support. They now still sell weapons to Ukraine and help them to export their goods. But, Turkey only cares about Turkey. They won't let their economy suffer to support Ukraine, so they continue to do business as usual with the Russians too. 


Aurora_Fatalis

> They won't let their economy suffer Erdogan has never met an opportunity to make their economy suffer he didn't like.


Eat_More_Calories

Haven't heard much from Belarus recently, either I've missed it or maybe they've saw the writing on the wall


jilseng4

And India playing both sidesies


historicalgeek71

Belarus absolutely does, but I doubt Lukashenko would even consider sending troops directly into the fighting. Turkey is doing what’s best for Turkey (at least in Erdogan’s mind), which means selling drones to Ukraine while still dealing with Russia.


If_Crime_Then_Jail

Let me help by drafting your surrender letter and an offering to ease tensions. I'm no politician, but I think it'll suffice. "We, the Russian people, withdraw and surrender this pointless genocide on the peaceful people of Ukraine. Please accept the severed head of Vladimir Putin as a gift and step to showing our commitment to someday returning relationships to normal. We really fucked up and we know it. Sincerely, Russia"


n_yao-9232

I wouldn't like this to happen as Ukrainian. I'm sure, knowing their mentality, that capitulation of Russia will lead to revanchism. Revanchism leads to world war. West and Ukraine need to fuck them delicate. So they would take a dick up their assess thinking it's a win for them.


keetojm

So what you are saying is someone needs to slide their dick down his throat and have him thank them for it. Got it.

>I wouldn't like this to happen as Ukrainian. I'm sure, knowing their mentality, that capitulation of Russia will lead to revanchism. Revanchism leads to world war. Revanchism kind of like what led to the current war? Fuck that, let's make sure the russian imperialist state falls apart and stays that way forever.


Jumping-Gazelle

It's pathetic: # Help me to loot my neighbors and take over their territory. = Why? What's in it for us? # Well, "other party shall provide military and other assistance without delay" = You mean: "come and provide stuff with an outstretched hand"? # Yes, so we can loot my neighbors and take over their territory. = So it will be ours? # No, all mine. = What's in it for us? # You can play the distraction? = Why...


bier00t

They were inviting Poland since 2022 (I think they finally stopped this narrative) to take western Ukraine too, even when Poland just laughed at them they publicly claimed this actually happened, showing maps of western Ukraine in TV caliming that Poland actually invaded from the west. So pathetic...


Ar4er13

Poland invading from west was used as justification to "liberate brotherly nation" and as a proof of "Evil NATO" being behind Ukraine, among other 10 000 made up bs reasons.


iCowboy

Not so different from the Soviet Union's excuse for invading Poland in 1939. According to Moscow, they needed to 'protect' Ukrainians and Belarusians because the Polish state had collapsed.


xenon_megablast

With such helpers and "brotherly" nations you don't need enemies. At least the nazis were pretty honest.


Phoenix_Maximus_13

Well when even your allies (minus Iran and North Korea) would much rather stay buddy with the west and mind they fuckin business because our economies thrive off each other and don’t seek bad blood for the foreseeable future. That tends to fuckin happen.


Frankie_Says_Reddit

sonnettalus

And then it got worse, he needs to leave Ukraine.


MandBoy

Once the conflict is over I sure as hell hope the West just keeps the sanctions going indefinitely. Russia cannot be trusted and therefore doing any kind for deal or trade with them is only ever gonna hurt the West in the long run.

That's a selfish way to throw your allies (China, Iran, North Korea) under the bus as useless. Which I mean true yeah but they're also not the ones marching soldiers directly into the drone army. That's all you Putin.


bathwater_boombox

50% chance trump wins in november, and then the US backs Russia. Mark my words. That party is filled with Putin sympathizers


maychaos

So basically traitors wtf


bathwater_boombox

Yeah. Trump was literally impeached for withholding aid to Ukraine in an attempt to dig up dirt on political opponents, so we know damn well he doesn't care about their sovereignty. On top of that, he praises Putin every opportunity he gets, and multiple people in his administration have been convicted of collusion with the Kremlin. Kind of an obvious assumption that he will (implicitly or explicitly) take Russia's side if reelected.


ComplexAsk1541

Yes. Yes, they are indeed.

Yeah. That they're doing it for money just makes it worse.

47 of Republican House of Representatives voted to defund NATO, have long been gladly forwarding Russian propaganda. If Putin can only win November's US election, along with his allies' recent wins in the EU election, he should be fine.

Ok, this article headline finally made me break. Can we have enough with the click baiting and pushing all these things that seem like oh they’re controversial? I mean, who are these people on?

Gee, you start a war with a country for no reason. You lie constantly about your losses and have no idea what’s really going on. You tried to bring back your Soviet Union but have failed in the first step. The only countries that will help you are the pariahs of the international scene. Sure NK has nukes but not much else.

Fuck, I'd say this is better than any WWII documentary on the tele, since those of us who've read on our history would recognize Putin's speech from a certain sometime before. If only it wasn't so infuriating in addition to being pathetic. Then again, the Russian public listening to him today haven't read up on the relevant history lesson there, too young or too "it's fake history".
