Paskudnyak Putin

It seems to me that President Putin in this Ukraine invasion is to be analysed from personal view than from the contributing factor which is the reason or point of departure. Our analyses should be directed from security as a contributing factor; just like China-Taiwan-Hong Kong issue.

Biden's administration pretends to be enforcing sanctions against Paskudnyak's country, but still continues importing Russian oil without interruption. The missiles sent by Germany to Ukraine, as military, aid turned out to be 35 years old. Paskudnyak is smart enough to know this hypocrisy of the west and does not care about the sanctions. All I can say is "sorry about the innocent Ukrainian people".

Russian spends 2 years preparing for war. The West spends 2 years hiding from a cold. Could this be Woke War 1?
Will Woke War 2 be Xi and Taiwan?

"It is a terrible irony..."
Agreed!!

As long this paskudnyak is alive, the world is in danger.
This war criminal has to be erased as soon as possible. It can be done.
Put a price on his head, dead or alive.
His collaborators, generals, will do the job.

"It is a terrible irony that the long acknowledged Paskudnyak, Adolf Hitler, ravaged Putin's Mother Russia some 80 years ago. How terrible to the memories of those 20 million Russian victims that Hitler should now be joined by one of their own."

A terrible irony indeed!

And what a terrible irony if Paskudnyak Putin doesn't stop his WAR!

This is not even the worst descriptor for this monster. Thank you for saying in Slavic Yiddish what no one is saying publicly in print.

I fully agree with your article. But I am embarrassed that the West has laid Ukraine to be sacrificed. Waving a blue and yellow flag and saying we support you did nothing to help. Sanctions yes, but is only money a viable tool? Because we were scared of a Russian response? We will still get a Russian response, except now they will have an expanded border and a nation's people have been brutalized infrastructure destroyed, architecture gone and natural resources cut off.

NATO, the EU, nor the US did recognize the desperation of this man.
For years now he has been telling the Western world, that he will not tolerate their expansion in Europe towards the borders of Russia.
Let's not forget that the US was similarly upset when Khrushchev deployed missiles in Cuba.
He is doing the only thing he knows to prevent Ukraine from joining the EU and ultimately NATO. Let us hope that further bloodshed will stop by Ukraine becoming a Neutral State.

Obviously.
Call him what name you like, the Russians are stuck with him. So are the Russian soldiers. They have died like flies too.

And yet Western Putin enablers are sitting down with the lackeys of this Paskudnyack to enable the Paskudnyack Ayatollahs in Iran to acquire the same nuclear deterrent which will permit their accelerated onslaught against the US and Israel in the Middle East, in Latin America and in Africa.

Biden SHUT DOWN much of the US's domestic energy output on Jan 20 2021, his first day in office. That was to placate his Maoist followers in the Party and apparently intended to make the price of gasoline so high that suckers would buy electric vehicles instead - or just walk.
Now it's essential that the US stops importing Russian oil and reopens all its plentiful wells (& I don't mean attacking the Strategic Reserve to give a day's supply.
Basically, if we didn't have this complete idiot as President then none of this would have happened.

Putin's war is truly out of the Orwellian playbook. If you have the misfortune to watch RT the extent of self-deceit and paranoia is enormous. Putin's megalomania cannot do it without his generals who, as this article so powerfully says, have driven Russia to be an international pariah and into junk status. China might take up some Russian gas sales but they are not going to pay for the crushing cost to the Russian people of Putin's war. The reality is that Russia's resources are puny compared to his adversaries. Consider this. GDP of Russia USD 1.75 trillion, GDP of Texas USD 2 trillion, GDP of the EU USD 17 trillion, GDP of USA USD 23 trillion. The only end game he has is to install after a bloody Pyrrhic victory a puppet surrogate government in Kyiv which if sanctions continue will only punish the Ukrainian people as well. The death and destruction and refugee flight is heartbreaking; and tragic not only for the Ukrainians but also for the people of Russia.

'Paskudnyak Putin' has a definite alliterative ring to it. It could be developed by a lyricist, set to music by some composer, and played in every public lavatory in Russia to ease the travails of any constipated clients. It could well rocket straight to the top of the charts; worldwide, in fact. ;-)

A bully does what comes naturally. Blame the people who let it happen and never stop it -- Putin's enablers, the US and UK who are co-signers of the Bucharest declaration guaranteeing Ukraine its territory in exchange for giving up nukes in 94.
Putin has realized that the nuclear umbrella applies to offensive actions such as invasion, not just stopping someone from invading your country.
Sanctions and appeasement don't work, a speed bump rather than a blockade.

Another name for Putin comes to mind which is "Son of Perdition." He is truly evil.

It does not make sense... only that he is trying to start WWIII and already has agreements with China and Iran. It seems so intentional and overdone for only Ukraine... I think it is starting and we need someone who knows what to do. I would like to hear Pompeo's advice and no one in this Biden Admin. Its going to take something very big.

Why is Putin on this path? What gain is there for him ? Will the Russian people revolt ? Lives matter; imagine if the dead was your kin? I have lost family by accidents and old age and I still grieve for them. I feel terrible for each death caused by Putin's actions. I pray this act of war on innocent people will end sooner than later.

Wow. I haven't thought of that word in decades.... at least since my Mama died in 1971. She didn't just use it for Hitler or Stalin (who incarcerated my uncle in a "work camp" during WWII). And she would spit the word with contempt. One of Mama's friends was physically abused by her husband. He was a paskudnyak. And so were some of her in-laws.

Yes, Putin is horrible. So was Stalin, Mao, Idi Amin and many others still around. The situation geopolitically, technologically and ideologically is 2022, not 1942.
We have to assess the present situation as it is, whatever the many past follies, and work out a reasonable future that accounts for all factors, including Putin's mind. If we cannot eliminate him, we must ensure that he does not lose face to devastating detriment. Strategy is more important than moralitis, as in Tigray or the West Bank.
Pumping weapons into Ukraine, and a dangerous no-fly zone, will prolong the suffering. We should work towards the partition of Ukraine along with Dnieper between Russians and Ukrainians, and withdraw NATO which is seen as provocative. The Russian people, despite their demographics, and the Ukrainians, will outlive Putin. We do not want a giant Chernobyl in Europe, and neither do the cronies in the Kremlin.

Thanks for a pejorative hitherto unknown to me. Now when I say "pee pee" it will have a new meaning, and perhaps not; just a double meaning. In either case, I will still need to "flush".

Canada has its fool in charge of Canada's energy and economic future. If you are uncertain as to how foolish PM Justin Trudeau is, then this quote from him recorded on MSM in Canada says it all.
"There's a level of admiration I actually have for China. Their basic dictatorship is actually allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime and say, 'We need to go green, we want to start investing in solar'."

After Trudeau became prime minister in 2015, that view was reflected in then environment minister Catherine McKenna, repeatedly, unctuously and absurdly praising coal-powered China as a climate change leader.

Paskudnyak Putin invading his neighbours is as crazy as Nero, as slimy as Obama, and as repulsive as Hitler. Unwittingly he may have done Taiwan a favor. China's Xi would never dare force China on Taiwan and risk going down as a pariah

I don't think it matters to Putin what anyone calls him. This excuse for a human being cares nothing for human life. The only ones that can remove him from power are his own generals, and they have so many interests of their own it's unlikely to happen. Paskudnyak Putin will never give in and face any court, he'll disappear to somewhere like Iran, Syria, China or North Korea. An all-out war with Russia will result in the deaths of soldiers in his army who don't even know why they are attacking Ukraine. This war is for the ego trip that Paskudnyak Putin and his ambitions of ruling an extensive Russian Empire. The man is paranoid, he thinks the West is out to get him. We weren't of course, but we bloody well are now! One day the world will be rid of megalomaniacs such as Paskudnyak Putin. But we need to be much better prepared to combat these maniacs in the future, they must be left with nowhere to hide. The world should never be left in this position again. Paskudnyak Putin should never have been able to attack a sovereign country in Europe. The world's leaders must ensure it doesn't happen ever again.

So, Putin is a bad dangerous tyrant. No question. That said, let's not kid ourselves: Biden, Obama, Bush all contributed to enabling this tyrant. The cynical impeachment of Trump over his digging into deep state money laundering in Ukraine contributed to enabling this. So on a practical note, with the apparent fizzling out of Putin's schemes, do you think it is wise to go "there" and start making him feel even more trapped?

Please take a poll of Russia's military pilots. Ask them one question:

DO YOU FEEL LUCKY?

Is this all really surprising given that Putin enabled the monster Assad to ethnically cleanse most of Syria, displacing millions of Syrians and murdering over half a million of them? Paskudnyak indeed. Whatever it means it's too good a term for Putin.

What's interesting is how Putin is managing his air force. He must be afraid of something as he's using only a small part.
At best this is a win-lose for him.
Even if he destroys Ukraine he's going to be stuck paying to rebuild it.

It should be mentioned that paskudnyak is coming from Yiddish and also known to the Polish and Ukrainians. If Ukrainians decide to use it, than its their honest view about Putin. Historians (hopefully) will not be referencing to it without common use.

Some 10 countries in the world with rogue nations like Russia, China and North Korea have nuclear weapons. Putin has put his army on nuclear alert, if this ever happens WW3 will start !
The evil empire against the world !

"Paskudnyak, a description that will accompany him as long as long as there are historians to record the deeds of despots, dictators, and war criminals, who would crush democracy and freedom."

If we had any leaders who listened to "historians", this would never have happened.

Americans did not perhaps know what Putin was when he was elected. But the 80% of Russians who approved of Putin did know what he was.
