Unpopular opinion: We should offer all dictators and their friends a safe retirement package.
Cornered dictators are dangerous. They will always keep escalating because the alternative isn’t just their neck on the block, it’s all of their friends and family too.
Putin had that posibiblty by not doing what he did, giving this option to them means they have no reason to not try this shit, I disagree firmly with this idea
That’s exactly why total annihilation of a populace is always a bad idea. Putin sucks, but the world must be ready to integrate the Russian population after everything’s done or we’ll be back where we started in a few years. Germany taught that lesson, but look at all the historians crying in the corner.
I absolutely agree. What good is retribution, in the face of all the untold future injustices and suffering that could be prevented by allowing dictators and their ilk to simply… stop being dictators?
At the end of the day, “just desserts” really aren’t all that they’re cracked up to be. Tasty as they may be, they arejust desserts. Have a strudel or a pudding instead.

tried that with Napoleon - didnt stick

Holy whoosh batman.
Gotta chat with air traffic controllers for how much airspace there is between you and this comment chain.
Wait, prison isn’t a retirement package (of sorts)?
I’ve been saying this for years. Perceived justice/punishment is not worth the lives of thousands of innocents.

Agree. We all hate Putin, but he is the only person with the power to stop the war.
I appreciate the sentiment.
I disagree.
They have never hesitated to chop necks on blocks, why shouldn’t they be Romanoved out of the gene pool?
how about a free prescription for lake city quiet pills with unlimited refills?
I don’t know man, this sounds good at first but think of how many thousands of lives would be saved if we let a handful of evil people go unpunished.
We didn’t do such for Hitler and Mussolini.
Besides, Putin can take refuge in China or North Korea, maybe even Belarus, Cuba, or Nicaragua.
Not so sure about that…
Mussolini, sure. Hitler may have died an old man in Argentina.
