Pussy Putin runs away again

Vladimir Putin is a crushing embarrassment . . .
. . . to Russia's history of strong leaders during troubled eras.
It is time for patriotic Russians to give this strategically dithering leader an ultimatum. Act or be gone.
Consider, in evidence . . .
. . . two recent additions to history's (now long) indictment against the Russian president.
For historical background, recall that Putin waited 8 years before invading Ukraine to stop its slaughter of 14,000 Russians in the Donbass.
Remember, too, that Putin's February 2022 'special military operation' into Ukraine only came, so as to confront the simultaneous massing of a Ukro-Nazi army near Russia's border.
After the special operation began, NATO continued supporting the Ukro-Nazis with money, arms, and intelligence — as well as direct assistance in the form of NATO troops' (generally behind the front lines) assistance.
Western politicians freely flew (and train-rode) into and out of Ukraine with no retaliation at all from the Russian Federation.
The Nazi Ukraine government remains in operation to this day.
Building on this pusillanimity on Russia's part, the United States and Britain began directly attacking Russia's homeland and its nuclear triad with drones and missiles. Again, with no Russian retaliation against those attacks.
At every opportunity, whenever NATO defies Putin's announced red lines and cautions, he retreats into placid non-action.
And now, two new events demonstrate that Putin is still doing his emblematic Fraidy Cat Dance.
First recent event — Iran
True to form — with Iran fighting for its life against the Zionist-US axis of pure evil — Putin's Foreign Ministry blathered that both sides to the conflict should restrain themselves.
That situationally useless drivel coming, even though Russia has a written quasi-alliance with Iran:
Moscow is deeply concerned that the situation in the Middle East continues to deteriorate.
Russia once again calls on all parties to the current conflict to immediately cease hostilities, including unacceptable strikes on the territory of the Arab states of the Persian Gulf.
We consider attacks on civilians and on any civilian objects—whether in Iran or the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council—to be completely unacceptable.
At the same time, it is clear that the only way to prevent the region from sliding further into destabilization is to end the US and Israeli aggression, which has triggered a chain reaction of suffering for Arabs.

One can imagine how the rest of BRICS are going to react to such retreat-prone hot air coming from one of that group's two allegedly powerful core members.
What does this damagingly cautious president think is going to happen, if Iran falls to the Zionist-American onslaught?
How divorced from geopolitical reality is it possible to get — for the leader of a nation like Russia that is so visibly on the United States' published list of dismembered-to-be prey?
It seems to be Putin's style to metaphorically shoot his geopolitically natural allies in the spine, so that Russia can further open itself to being attacked as the last-one-standing nation to fall in a long spring of Zionist-US targets.
A more intelligent approach would have been for Putin to energetically support Iran's effort at self-defense, including its attacks against American military bases located in the US-allied Gulf monarchies.
For a similar instance regarding Putin's backstabbing spinelessness vis a vis quasi-allies, think back to Russia's recent retreat from Syria.
Second recent event — Bryansk
From Reuters:
Russia's Foreign Ministry on Wednesday condemned a deadly Ukrainian strike on the western Russian city of Bryansk as a "terrorist attack" and accused Britain, whose missiles it said were used, of overstepping international legal norms.
In a statement, the ministry said the strike was intended to derail efforts toward a peace process and fuel an escalation of the conflict
Bryansk regional governor Alexander Bogomaz said on Wednesday one more person had died in the attack, bringing the death toll to seven.
Bogomaz said earlier that Tuesday's strike had injured 42 people, without saying what was hit.

The Russian Foreign Ministry reacted in its Putin's customarily action-lacking, legalistic way:
We . . . note that the use of British weapons systems is taking place against the backdrop of intensified political and diplomatic efforts within the trilateral Russia- US -Ukraine format to resolve the Ukrainian crisis.
The goal of London and other Western capitals is clear: to disrupt the peace process and escalate hostilities through a large-scale provocation with civilian casualties.
This tactic is not new and is used by the sponsors of the Kyiv regime whenever a real prospect for a settlement appears.
It is no coincidence that the timing of this attack coincides with signals from Washington expressing hope that a turning point has been reached in the negotiations on a Ukrainian settlement, and that achieving peace is entirely possible.
We call on the relevant international bodies, primarily the UN, whose leadership is aware of the situation but has so far avoided comment, to provide an adequate assessment of the Kyiv regime's latest criminal attack and its violation of international humanitarian law.
Silence will be perceived as nothing less than condoning the criminal activities of Zelenskyy and his puppeteers, who seek to escalate the conflict.

Paraphrased, 'We are too cowardly to do anything about this attack ourselves'.
What the Bryansk event demonstrates is that Russia is going to keep getting blasted, until it carries an attention-getting penalty directly into NATO territory — including the maniacs-controlled British one.
The strategic point — when dealing with psychotic Western neocons — has always been that Putin's fear of nuclear conflagration is preventing Russia from defending itself in believably serious ways.
Does Putin really think that Trump's Gang of Incompetents is going to retaliate in a nuclear manner — which would certainly wipe the United States off the map — on the militarily pissant, but meddlesomely warmongering United Kingdom's account?
Is Putin again going to delay a Russian response, until after the United States has had time to bunkerize itself to offset some of the drawbacks of a full-scale nuclear war?
This would exactly parallel what Putin did in giving Ukraine 8 long years to entrench itself — with easily observable NATO real time assistance — so as to mount further assaults against Russians and Russia.
The moral? — Putin is a delusional patsy
He does not rank among the Federation's courageous Russian and Soviet forebears.
If Putin's placidly patient non-retaliative strategy works, it will be via a combination of pure luck and Federation adversaries' appalling stupidity levels.
Gambling on predatory opponents' stupidity, as a means of national survival, is (in my view) a mistake.
We will see what the Federation's population is going to do about Putin's widely perceived failures in the Federation homeland's defense. I can imagine the contempt that some of Russia's Chechen warriors must feel, regarding the Russian president's scintillating examples of strategic non-action.
Ultimately, as with the United States, the Russian public's courage and self-respect are being tested.
We in America are abysmally failing this challenge. The US public has elected one gang of predatory morons after another. With Donald Trump's administration representing the absolute worst of the worst (as assessed against the rest of the planet). It is as if We the People have become a nation that worships murderous imbecility.
If the Russians also fail in doing their duty to hold leaders accountable for Mother Russia's survival, humanity's world will be largely lost.
China's economy-focused leaders and public are unlikely to step up to the humanity-saving 'plate' (an American reference to baseball) in time to forestall world conflagration.
So, where are the spirits of:
Giap and Ho Chi Minh
when we so need them?
No Americans are on this list. None have ever faced the civilizationally overwhelming military odds that the named leaders had to overcome.
It is as if, courage and sense have parted ways in the 21st century.
Only pockets of intelligently directed fortitude are left.
Among those, count the impoverished Houthis. And belatedly, Iran.
