I hope he’s not still alive by then.
Doesn’t he have cancer or was that just wishful thinking?
He likely does or did, but the waters are too muddy to have certainty.
Well, only for us. I’m sure the intelligence community knows.
He had some weird medical issue that some people guess is cancer. But it just as easily could have been overly cautious covid protections for all the info that gets made public
Maybe he’ll become as paranoid as Stalin and kill all his doctors. Once can hope. (Sucks for the doctors of course.)
And the more authoritarians win in Europe and the US the faster that time line is accelerated
That would be a big mistake by Putin. Could be his last. And it will take more than 8 years to even think about it. Ukraine has deflated the Russian military. It will take more than 10 years for them to rearm
Last? He’ll be geriatric at that point.
Then? He’s geriatric now.
Ah, the miracles of plastic surgery and not moving your expression much.
Ok but… how? With whom?
They need those 5-8 years for the kids to get big enough to hold the weapons.
But there won’t be many more coming after that, what with all their men dead and all.
Nah, they still have all the kids they kidnapped from Ukraine and sent to Belarus
Touche.
And with what weapons?
So in Russian terms, that’s like 40-60 years right? We’re two years into a couple week special operation, so I doubt that they’ll be anywhere close to being able to take on an entire military alliance by 2030 when they can barely handle a single former client state.
hope he is decaying by this time
He’s already like 90% decayed.
Still breathing too much if you ask me.
How do I link the Noncredibledefense community?
Probably more like 30, they’re about out of warm bodies.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
An increasingly belligerent Russian President Vladimir Putin could attack the NATO military alliance in less than a decade, Germany’s Defense Minister Boris Pistorius warned.
Following the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia has upped its aggressive rhetoric against some of its neighbors — including the Baltic countries and Poland, which are all members of NATO, and Moldova — prompting top European defense officials to warn of the risk of a major conflict.
Earlier this month, Sweden’s commander-in-chief General Micael Bydén similarly called on Swedes to “prepare themselves mentally” for war.
In his interview with Der Tagesspiegel, Pistorius said the Swedish warnings were “understandable from a Scandinavian perspective,” adding that Sweden faced “an even more serious situation,” given its proximity to Russia.
Lithuania’s Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis, an outspoken Putin critic who has been one of the loudest voices in support of Ukraine in the EU, on Thursday called on Europe to speed up preparations for more Russian aggression.
“There’s a chance that Russia might not be contained in Ukraine,” Landsbergis told French newswire AFP at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

yes guys, we get it
Honestly the whole “putin bad” spam posting (not to mention scare mongering like this post) on the daily is getting tiresome to say the least. 😐
He is bad. The fuck you talking about?
Okay. Do I need to be reminded of it every single fucking day I log into this god forsaken site?
Yup.
Nope.
Cry some more.
No u.
oh I’m all for reminding the public that he is bad on a regular basis. just maybe not in multiple posts revolving around the same issue at the same time.
Same story is being reposted multiple times from different sources, this one is first so keeping it and removing the others.
They’re different stories about different statements from different countries. Estonia, Germany, and Poland all independently made statements, not as a single joint statement.
If this is a policy going forward, it should be listed as a rule.

There are two types of propaganda, this is one of them
It’s the same story. “Russia plans to attack NATO”, we get it, you don’t have to re-post it 6 times. 24 hour ban for arguing the point and abusive posting

I can almost guarantee that NATO will do some tricky “in order to defend NATO countries we must attack Russia first” business.
Appropriate user name.
Yeah, that’s why I took this username.

Enjoy potato and take a day off.
When that doesn’t happen I can definitely guarantee that you will learn nothing and pretend like you never held this moronic opinion.

… Gosh, I’m beginning to think that a US-lead NATO might not be good for global peace and that the US government might be the most reactionary, anti-progressive polity in the modern world. I’m beginning to think that I’ve been fed lies all my life by media manufacturing consent for unjustifiable wars! Operation Desert Storm, Iraq War, WMDs, War on Terror, the Nakba, the second Nakba, the overthrow of the leftist Guatemalan government and subsequent ethnic cleansing of the Mayan people (if you want I can keep going.) It’s almost like it has happened over and over again and Americans allies go along with it every single time because they stand to gain something from! It’s like any military organization made up of these psychopaths will only be used for destabilizing the developing world! It’s like our governments have an interest in keeping the rest of the world destabilized so that they and their supporting billionaires can profit from exploiting the world resources and labor.
(Obligatory ‘Putin is a cunt’ because people on Lemmy lack the capability to think one person can hold both these political opinions at the same time)
No part of that is relevant to your absurd claim .
They said, while Russia is literally in the middle of doing the sort of invasion NATO is warning against.
