This isn't war, this is attempted genocide and Putin is a war criminal.

Put every Russian in every country on a plane home with a message that they will be as socially acceptable as a drunk-driving pedophile with the clap if they don't clean their own house.

This ends with Putin hanging from a lamp post, and I hope that we see it soon.

They already prepare the declaration of that on the international stage. If it is declared these Putin agents and posters can in the future write us then how are the beaches in North Korea. Support war crimes, terrorism is monitored international including in the net.

The sanctions are hitting hard and Russian people will ultimately have to get rid of him to be released from these sanctions!

Putins lies and propaganda will fail if the west does not attack him!

He’s hoping for an attack so he can tell his people how evil we all are !!

when in fact it is the Devil himself that will be found out

[Grant]

Putin is a Dictator and unfortunately the world cannot attack him due to his propaganda!

But when the Russian people find out they just attacked Ukraine without provocation, they will see what they have ?

A result from his own people will be the only way to resolve this!

so I employee all Russian people to support Ukraine and get the message back your people  that this man is Evil and must be brought down!

[Pinetree]

Mass grouping provides an opportunity.  A couple of well placed tactical nukes and the war is over. 

It may start another one of course, but that may end up being the price we all have to pay to stop Putin's/Russia's  lunacy. The up side is it will also stop China in its expansionist  tracks and give the Korean fat boy with a bad haircut food for thought.

Then I guess military action isn’t going to stop. Not that he planned to do so anyway. This war is about more than just Ukraine. Why else would you make demands you know can’t be met. It’s a built in excuse to finish what he started. 

[ace035]

One of those days, Putin will be assassinated by his own bodyguards and soldiers unless he barricades himself and hiding in his own bunker. I am praying it will happen.

[Artemis080]

The world needs to continue to throw Russia and any ally into the Dark Ages with imposing an unthinkable level of sanctions.

It's easy to demand from people that they speak up to their leader, but it's hard to speak up when that leader is an extremely powerful cutthroat dictator.

Here's a clip of Sergey Yevgenyevich (Russia's spy chief) who spoke up. He proposed to Putin to give the west/Ukraine one last chance to execute the Minsk treaty instead of going ahead with splitting of parts of Ukraine. It looks like he had to change his underwear after this encounter and he wouldn't be to blame if his next action would have been to book a one-way ticket for a nice, long holiday on the other side of the world.

I have immense respect for Russians who speak up, but no disrespect for those that dare not.

I fully agree that Putin is a "cutthroat dictator".

However, I strongly disagree with your post; If ending Putin is not the responsibility of the Russian people, then whose responsibility is it? 

Seriously, whose responsibility is it?

The Ukrainians? The Japanese? The Ugandans? The Argentinians? The Kiwis? The Hondurans?

Whose?

If I may be direct; Putin is the Russian people's responsibility and they need to stop him. They've allowed him to have/accumulate power for over twenty years, and after twenty years you cannot say "Oops... Er... Ahem... Sorry... Not My Problem".

I fully agree that it won't be easy, but the bloodshed Putin is causing rests on the Russian people's hands, and they need to clean their house.

Sorry if that offends, but...

No!

They need to denounce him to other Russians to the point where they will all turn on him when their lives become more miserable!

No food , No Money, No Travel,

No Credit!

This type of person is taken out by their own !

when he least expects it!

But at least Russian people could say they are against what he is doing and show some support to the Ukraine people in public !

Showing other Russian people that they disagree with Putin

What Nonsense. You clearly have no idea …….

NATO / Allied Country support to Ukraine with sanctions, weapons, supplies, intelligence & diplomacy , has helped to decimate the Russian invasion & halt it around Kyiv & forced nearly the entire Russian army into Ukraine.

Yesterday already 20 000 from europe flocked in who signed to fight and help Ukraine. To get accepted they want military experience. Since yesterday there are long lines in all european countries to sign in at the Ukrainian embassy. He will need supply lines what will be difficult and not seen yet as he put in 95% of his amass firepower as it is in the news. Europe has huge resources and in industrial resources and many bordering countries compare to Russia , the Russian industrial capacity is a laughing stock, they cannot produce without supply from Europe, now function chips or semiconductor production. Even if they would start they would need 30 years to develop it on a nowaday level and huge amounts of money. You need extrem lot of money and capable people thats why it is not possible til today for the most countries to do it. They will now cut off all loophole and cut off russia in all fields completly. If the Russian not get rid off him fast Russia will vanished. The Rubel fall combined with the sanction wil create a hyper inflation what means over 50% and on it no financial access because the Banks are cut off the financial systems. All foreign companies are shut down. No employment, all the shelves in the supermarkets will be quickly empty and no supplies.

nobody is going to start WW3 to please some former clown President,

Putin is very smart, he already won the war, we are just watching it unfolds in front of us without any power to do or change anything

[Poolie]

The source for the OP is....drum roll...............CNN/BBC.

[dj230]

US just allowed NATO allies to send fighter jets to Ukraine, sounds like this is escalating vs de-escalating. 

Wonder what Russia will do in response.

Oh dear oh dear...

It seems people forgot that Putin has been in power for over 20 years now and a lot has happened since then. For a start, he has imposed austerity on his people all these years for the purpose of being self-sufficient in resources... so they can be prepared of the eventuality of a war. Russia has all it needs to survive war time for quite a while now, quite the opposite of the European Union (which by the way is not at war, Ukraine is), dependant for a start on gas coming...from Russia. Germany alone, the strongest European economy, would see its economy literally collapse if Russia cuts off the gas pipelines (the Nord Stream 2 pipeline episode a few days ago is also another joke announcement, by the way project that Ukraine was not very happy about in the first place but who cared about Ukraine then https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-to-stop-nord-stream-2/). Russia is prepared but it will take years for the EU to change its infrastructures to be independent of the Russian gas (and other ressources). They have never had any strategy of its kinds cause the EU is a complete joke and the only one laughing now is Putin. Meanwhile, Russia is getting ahead by securing 117 billion dollars revenues from its gas by selling to...China of course (https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/exclusive-russia-china-agree-30-year-gas-deal-using-new-pipeline-source-2022-02-04/ ). Of course, that is no coincidence it happened just before the war got started.

The US controlled NATO... By allowing eastern European countries to join, what was to be expected? Exactly what has been happening, first Georgia (who's former president is currently on hunger strike in jail - that's what is waiting for the Ukrainian president  I guess unless he manages to escape before, no doubt he will https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/21/georgias-jailed-ex-leader-starts-hunger-strike-over-medical-car ), and then Crimea and now Ukraine. Stopping NATO (therefore the US) advance on Russia seemed to be the logical move, any other "powerful" country would have done the same, never mind a psychopat dictator. For these Eastern European countries joining NATO, it was win-win-win for them. They get protection (well the US protection, that's what they thought anyway, how wrong they were) and loads of financial aids, a lot of it that went directly in the pockets of corrupt politicians and elites of those countries. And now the US made it clear as Biden reminded everyone, they will not send a single soldier there. Why would they anyway? It would be no economical nor any other gain for them, there is no other war than economical wars, people who think that the US would go to war in order to defend "democracy" are fools. Unfortunately European countries failed to understand that. Not to mention that it would lead certainly to some kind of nuclear power move with the obvious consequences. So instead, NATO "allies" in Europe do their best to "do something", meaning another shameful joke. France sent some troops in Romania as well as its aircraft carrier. Another useless desperate move... Meanwhile the French president urges businesses not to leave Russia (https://todayworldnews.in/russia/france-urges-its-businesses-not-to-be-in-a-hurry-to-leave-russia-media-rt-business-news/). He is not the only one of course. Economic decisions before all to protect financial interests. Anyone is free to make his/her own interpretation on that matter, but it is pretty clear as usual. Including in these big corporations, a major French supermarket chain. As long as it is business as usual, shelves will be filled with food and products. If all these French companies stop doing business in Russia, it would have a direct huge economical impact on the French economy and 1000s jobs losses in France. The presidential elections in France are next month so anyone can understand why Macron does not want that to happen "in a hurry". And that goes for all countries doing business with Russia, and being supplied vital ressources from Russia. Announcements in the media, propaganda is one thing, reality of the World is quite another.

So I am not sure Stardurst how you managed to understand the situation as it is written in your comment but basically, it is simply right the opposite. For now anyway...

How is that any different than sending thousands of anti tank or anti aircraft missiles?

Being in Lake Tahoe will not protect you from the doomsday clouds if WW3 breaks out and the west coast gets nuked. That is a very real scenario if a 'soaked dish cloth' (to use your colorful language) is used. Once NATO fires directly on the Russian forces then either one of two things will happen, Putin backs down or WW3.
