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?

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 ?

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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

Fingers crossed sooner rather than later

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.

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.

Caro41 Tue 11-Mar-25 16:10:42

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

I meant 4 not triologie.

Frenchgalinspain Tue 11-Mar-25 15:50:22

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’m not a lover of violence but the world wouldn’t miss either of these men if someone assassinated them

No, the world as such will not, but unfortunately if someone gets rid of them, or even if they die natural deaths, we have no guarantees that their successors will be better not worse.

It might be a case of "Better the Devil you know, than the Devil you don't."

I believe Russia is the same as the USA and wants the minerals that can be mined in Ukraine

Foxyferret Tue 11-Mar-25 14:03:55

Do you think Putin attacked Ukraine because Ukraine wanted to join NATO and he didn’t want them right on his border? Just a thought, not saying it was right.

I’ll pray for them! Thunderbolts from heaven, I mean.

Well there is of course one thing. whatever anyone else is doing, whether a politician, or someone you know personally, they cant be worse that that shower!! In fact I have now added to my own "insults" or versions of swear words when I shall mutter " just like ...." or " are you related to ... or just an idiot/fool/lunatic/madman. Take your choice of suitable words to add. Of course according to the dictionary Trump is already a bad smell , which we knew about but I am sure if you ever wanted to put someone down such as Farage, then what a ... you are will be quite useful.

I really really hope so and Trump and Vance and “Elon”. Karma will find them or an assassin will.

By withdrawing not only aid, but intelligence as well (and threats to the Star communications system, which is a Musk thing and is used by Ukraine on the battlefield),

Trump imo is playing a particularly nasty waiting game to weaken the Ukraine bit by bit in order to force them to concede territory and play into the plans of Putin. At the same time, forcing a minerals deal robbing Ukraine of future income. I can't find the words to express my disgust with this manipulative bully!

yes.. worrying isn't it? Because Putin is even more deceitful and manipulative than Ttump ...IMO

Rula Mon 10-Mar-25 14:59:50

This too will definitely pass

Most of us have lived through what appeared to be calamitous occasions but we got through them.

Can only hope the next one doesnt just get his ear!! When you see how many people have been allowed to own guns that have killed innocent people , perhaps if they are going to still let them have guns they might go in for pest control and could be provided with a picture of Trump and Putin . Can add Assad ti the group. !!!
