Will Putin ever get his comeuppance ?

I despair at the daily news of the invasion of Ukraine and how so many actions are conspiring to finish that country off.

Zelensky has devoted himself to trying to save his country and he is pushed back at every attempt recently and is ridiculed by those morons at the White House.

Putin struts around like a peacock and I notice he never attends meetings to discuss the cessation of hostilities.

Where and when will it end?

Bullying, Phishing, cruel crew, racists, control freaks, inhumane un-empathetics to humanity and simply SOB´s ..

I hope all four are assinated and done away with and quickly ..

I have no sentiments of kindness for evil doers. And that trio are evil. ( Trump, Musk, Putin & Vance ).

I meant 4 not triologie.

Even if Putin were removed there will others in the oligarchy to take his place .

Assasinating an incompetent leader like Putin is not going to solve any problem, someone that has a better idea how to invade countries with troops & dodgy equipment will replace him, then we would be in a worse situation.

No-one is immortal so yes of course everyone gets their 'comeuppance' in the end. Not sure how old Putin is but his time will come as it will for us all. I think he is probably younger than me though so I may not live to see it.

Fingers crossed sooner rather than later

Trouble is even if they do get their comeuppance they have done untold damage whilst living the high life. I used to think if you were a good person and did your best everything would come right, sadly not.

He may well do, but we’ll never know if he was assassinated or similar.

I do worry whether Trump can access those experimental drugs that slow ageing right down. They don't make you bullet-proof though.If he tries to go on past his term, he'll get his come-uppance that way I think.

So for those who want further controls of social media, what would you do to people who wish death on others.

I don't wish Putin or Trump dead. The people should realise they are both bankrupting their countries. Putin with the war and Trump the Tarrif.
Trump is playing a game - put the Tarrif on, watch shares drop - buy up cheaper shares - take the Tarrif off - sell shares make gd profits as they rise again. Repeat again.
Putin can't lose face by ending the war. I think his government will eventually get rid of him, probably via a car or plane crash or a heart attack.

I don't wish any of them dead.

This is just a moment in time. 50 years from now they won't be around. We'll have moved on. Reduced to a passage in a history book.

We've lived through many massive issues, literally massive, but they all died down. Nothing stays the same.

I wouldn’t wish any of them dead,either. There will be a long queue behind them all to take their places. It’s just the way of the world. Which country is the only country in the world to use nuclear weapons, not once but twice ?
