So his plan is to:

  • Decimate the Russian military, losing 12 generals and 7,000 to 15,000 soldiers IN THE FIRST MONTH1 and an estimated 80,000 killed or wounded as of August 8, 2022.2
  • Unite Ukrainians and people all over the world behind President Zelenskyy and Ukraine.
  • Create the biggest refugee crisis in Europe since World War II, with nearly 2 million refugees by 2 August, 2022. 3
  • Isolate Russia politically and economically as companies from BP and Shell to McDonalds and organizations like PMI cease operations there,
  • Unite NATO and push Finland and Sweden to apply for membership into the defensive alliance, and NATO to bring them in, 
  • Prompt Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova to request to join the EU, and the EU to respond favorably, 
  • Default on it’s sovereign debt for the first time since the Bolshevik Revolution in 1918, by missing a $100 million interest payment on June 30, 2022,
  • Kill 87,000 civilians in Mariupol, Euromaidan Press, here,
  • Experiment on the effects of radioactive waste on humans by having soldiers dig trenches the nuclear exclusion zone around Chernobyl and sleep in them.
  • Occupy nuclear power plants in Ukraine and use them to threaten Ukraine, Europe, and the United States.
  • Strengthen Syria by hiring Syrian mercenaries.
  • Strengthen Iran by buying military drones from them.
  • Build Concentration Camps to hold, torture, and kill Ukrainians, see image above,
  • Demonstrate that the Russian Army will wage “Total War,” attacking and killing civilians, refugees, children in hospitals, schools, apartment buildings, shopping malls, and nuclear power plants – that Russia is willing and able to commit war crimes. 

Putin, a war criminal, a mini-Stalin and little Hitler.
