Russia: Walk into Darkness

This is what’s wrong with autocratic leaders: One man, blindly or maybe fearfully given the reigns of an entire nation, can decide the best as well as the worst for his people with little or no opposition. You don’t believe me? Look what Stalin did during the collectivization in Russia, or the Great Purge, which resulted in the deaths of 700,000 people. In a nation of 1,600,000, that’s more than 40% of the population! One man’s mistake, one unopposed man’s error, and seven hundred thousand people suffer and die.
What’s different today?
The Duma voted unanimously in favor of Putin’s war against Ukraine. Now the Russian economy looks like it will be fucked (more explicitly, fucked horribly) when this did not need to happen! One man’s mistake, one unopposed man’s error, and a hundred fifty million suffer the consequences in the months and years go come.
Nothing’s different. Putin single-handedly committed Russia to much the same horrific consequences that Stalin did in the 1930s!
Why did Putin choose to risk everything, knowing full well that Europe and America would not stand idly by when they were already chastising themselves over their failure to have prevented Putin’s annexation of the Crimea? Putin would be the world’s Retard #1 if he imagined that everyone would once again stand idly by while he waged war against Ukraine.
Claims of a genocide in Ukraine do not hold water. To be sure, there are claims that people were abused when they spoke Russian instead of Ukrainian; there may have been other incidences of the sort, but all in all, these don’t rise to anything near the level of horror which the German NAZIs inflicted on the Jews. Claims that the invasion was to stop a NAZI genocide are preposterous and absolutely laughable.
It might be imaginable that Putin allowed himself to be deluded by reports of a cultural genocide (such a delusion being itself laughable considering that he is not known to be an avid consumer of conspiracy theories, or driven by garbage from the likes of Alex Jones), but his invasion of Ukraine as a whole, the assault from the north, south, as well as the east on cities everywhere in Ukraine clearly belies such a delusion. So, was Putin desperate to create for himself a legacy as a conqueror, to restore Russia’s territory to that of the Soviet Union?
What would possess a hitherto rational and calculating man to make such a colossal miscalculation? We’re not talking about deciding to throw an entire pay check at lottery tickets, or buy fifty bouquets of roses for the woman to whom you want to declare your love; Putin committed the economic health, stability, and indeed the future of Russia to a single act of war which he must have known would earn him the intense ire and savage response of the rest of the world!
Madness appears to be the only clear cause of such a move.
Nobody attacked Russia. Nobody inflicted harm on Russia. Nobody even showed Putin the middle finger and cried, “I dare you to invade Ukraine, you diminutive and bald motherfucker, I dare you!”
So, if not madness, what the fuck made Putin do it, and are the Russian people going to let him get away with it, or are they going to merely tighten their belts and quietly suffer what a mad man has done to them?
Russians have been abused by their leaders often enough, but when is ‘often’ finally ‘enough’?
