Putin and the U.S. Orange Time Bomb
Anyone who reads Harry Hogg knows he’s not an expert on many things, but he speaks plainly of what he knows and understands about American culture and where, if we cannot come together, it will end up.
Before Putin came to power in 2012, in a time before Russia elected Trump to be the United States President, our country had many problems with race, immigration, white nationalism, abortion, the list is endless.
Before Putin assumed power, he had a wealth of knowledge on how democracies worked. Born in 1952, he retired from the KGB, became Prime Minister of Russia, studied Foreign Relations and it was no secret where Putin intended to take Russia, to again become a Republic.
If one was to put Putin’s mind alongside Trump’s, the distance of knowledge would be unfathomable in Putin’s favor. Trump knows that. The only way he could equate to Putin was to be ruthless. But Trump was a bungling idiot, someone Putin understood would be his litmus paper for creating wild division in America, pulling NATO down, making white people superior, and eventually becoming their ruler.
Putin has always been in it for the long haul, having the perfect background, solid political world knowledge, and a legal mind. Putin was top rank in the KGB.
When Putin succeeded in making Trump President. It was the equivalent of a nuclear warhead, the invention of the Orange Time Bomb, and while Trump divided the country to such a degree, the time fuse was too long. When Trump failed to be re-elected, the Orange Time Bomb Putin needed to go off, fizzled and smoked, and could not, despite republican shenanigans, be re-ignited.
For the first time in his life, Putin had bet on a dud.
In my opinion, Putin’s plan to invade Ukraine would be delayed until 2026. Putin could not wait, at 70 years old, to see if the Orange Time Bomb could be reloaded; with NATO in disarray, America near to civil war, Putin would not need to mention nuclear or chemical warfare. The Orange Time Bomb fizzled in Putin’s face. He had to act.
The invasion of Ukraine is not typically how Putin would organize a military intervention, such as Bosnia. Instead, he told his generals, “I don’t care how you do it, but go and bring Ukraine back into the Republic. NOW!”
The generals of his army are committing war crimes happening on Putin’s watch. They are ill-prepared and suffering from a lack of coordination and supplies, including food. As a result, the Russian economy is going to the wall, China will soon back away from any idea of a world war, and Putin will eventually take a vacation with Trump and wonder what all the fuss was about.
I recall Russia being barred from having an opinion on the fate of a United Germany. Bush was explicit. One more Nut-Bush City Limits (thank you, Tina.) Russia will not have an opinion. It just happened that Russia had half a million troops and hundreds of tactical nuclear weapons in East Germany.
That’s a pretty good card to be holding.
To Putin’s chagrin, a certain Gorbachev, while Europe weighed up what they would have to give up, conceded that a united Germany would remain in NATO. Can you imagine a young Putin’s face? Gorbachev gave up the military ace in the pack. With Russia’s economy in the sewer, the Ink man didn’t last much longer, but right there, at that very point in time, I can imagine Putin is more determined than ever to be President of Russia, and eventually, his dream for the reunification of the USSR.
Putin is failing in Ukraine, and by that, I mean he is failing to take Ukraine back the way he envisaged. It will now be a slog. It will last years and then become a cold war. Genocide is perpetrated the way it has always been, and we all stand by and watch. Nuclear war? Look, such a thing doesn’t help Putin attain anything.
He’s not that dumb.
The cold war will ensue, courts will hear about war crimes, European courts will preside over Russian generals being responsible for genocide if there’s any still alive.
Americans will go back to the Oscars.
PS. Please don’t be afraid to criticize my opinion. How will I learn any different?
