if he doesnt get ousted
almost all cases of the eastern powers being difficult is meant to be a sign of strength
there comes a point where russia would have a response of their own
and we wont touch russia
if "their guy"
was found out
Nah, they'd just take sanctions, and then dodge them with 3rd parties
and everything will be the same again
how strong will putin appear to russia at that point
his own party would kick him out
cant nuke them and invading russia never works unless you are the mongols
or hand him over to avoid war
they wuoldn't hand him over
cuz thats a sign to each other that they're weak, and could just be next the next time the US would make demands
i think you way overestimate their allegience to putin
you can only sanction the russians so much
its not allegiance to putin at all
But if 10 people are all willing to sell the otehr 9 out
they'd have no trust to work togetehr
he is really popular
cuz they sold Putin out too
its possible
i cant really say one way or the other
i would like to think the russian people would come into play at some point, but cant really count on them doing much
awww yes the purge of leadership
well if they get caught, he likely will be brought up on some international charges... at least i would think? i am not really sure how that would work
but this is all just supposing that there is something there
i dont really think there is
i think the groups posting the ads are the most they will come up with
if they got caught, Russia would get sanctions, which they then dodge with a 3rd party
And the same masses that believe the establishment from "non-russia" countries would be content cuz Muh russia gotting dem sanctions!
which... anyone can buy ads
international charges are useless
im not sure i follow that last line Doc
trying to
Russia gets sanctions that don't actually work
the West citizens will be happy cuz Russia is being "punished"
No war, Neither side ultimately loses
i see what you mean now ok
Its a very old game played in the modern world
agreed
you pretend to punish them, and they just go "ow, noooo stop, we're the bad"
and you secretly high-five under the table
so if there was meddeling, i WOULD like to see something more than just sanctions. i agree they are just a lip service type punishment
