Fiona Hill is the former official at the U.S. National Security Council specializing in Russian & European affairs. She was in the room when Trump & Putin met and she testified at his 1st impeachment hearing.

Any Russian close to this shithead who doesn't want Russia to become utterly decimated needs to act.
sciboy
I read that as Jonah Hill and thought OP was being sarcastic with the title ?
WoodHandle
I can't upvote this enough.

That is the best interview I have read in a loooong time. Incredible insight.

Once I see the word "Politico" I move on.

So for the world to be safe, we can't trust him to shoot himself, we'd need someone with scruples to do so at risk of death. Depressing.

Beware the ides of March @ Putin..

My mom, who has premonitions, heard that phrase repeated over and over with the image of his face the second day of this. It gave her hope.

Yeah... he is ready and willing to use nukes to get what he wants... he needs to be ended before that happens
youraverageanxiousmillenial
As has been proven before, we should listen to Fiona Hill.
RadicalLiberal
She is the Real Deal.

For a moment I had her confused with Fawn Hall and was like, "what nonsense is this traitorous bitch spewing now"
pfunk81
Better than me... I first read it as Fiona apple...
NonstopRampage
Better than *me*- I wasn't fully paying attention and wondered what the fuck the she-ogre from Shrek had to do with any of this.

I’m 59.Grew up next to nuclear attack air raid in SoCal suburb. Tested every last Friday of month @ 900. Gawd I hated that thing.

This is a MUST READ. Don't delay, don't deny it: READ IT.

It's a hard read but yes...he's been showing by action that he WILL do the worst while he lies and says he won't

Ive already come to terms with this ending with nuclear annihalation. Ive gotten pretty certain thats what we have waiting

I remember watching this when I was 7. It scared the shit out of me. 10/10 would have pants shitting nightmares for a week again.

I’d like one huge jump from this timeline to a safer one, please.
JusticePhrall
Fiona Hill is scary smart and is arguably the foremost authority on Putin. I am sharing this article with everyone I can.
SithShodan
Can we just skip to the part where he blows his brains out in a bunker?
jixathejinx
Do we get to go back to having "duck and cover" drills in schools again? We can schedule them alongside the active shooter drills.
Maetivet
He does have kids and grandkids; that gives some hope that he has at least a small interest in not ending civilisation.
Sanotassard
of course he would he already took the option of not having a nuclear war categorically of the table
thinkybrainpains
I believe her analysis that he WOULD and I think planning as if he won't is far more dangerous
Sanotassard
there is no planing if he would or wouldn't. he WILL do it. he will push until he hets push back and then detonate at least 1 as a warning
BuckyBawllz
I thought they meant the singer. My brain mixed Lauren Hill and Fiona Apple. I thought this headline was a joke ??♀️
MicrosoftWizard7
Just tell him we will never preemmptively launch, but if he does we will shove nukes up his ass.
baddream
no dude this isnt the answer either. your smack talkin about the end of the human race. not a very good end game

What's dangerous would be the level of danger a modern nuke could cause and the fallout after as well. I'm not a nuclear engineer but I>

painful deaths of animals and systems and spread wider than the initial area it hits.
ThicclikePaulBunyan
He can't fund his army enough to get operational readiness, not even enough for an invasion force, so how can they have the funds to....
ThicclikePaulBunyan
maintain an operational nuclear arsenal. Bet he won't even try because of the chance of their bomb exploding on the launchpad.
neithermenoryou
The answer to that is very simple: Instead of investing into his land army he put all his cash into his navy, including plenty of submarines
neithermenoryou
with nukes. The navy is very little threat to the Ukraine and basically worthless to the current war, but is a problem when he decides to
neithermenoryou
peace out in a bunker and take everyone with him.
ThicclikePaulBunyan
Maintaining a Navy is more expensive, especially submarines. The Russian Navy is not even capable of keeping their only aircraft carrier...
Rumoh
Said it before putin can't just retire and live in peace to much shit he has to answer for so he might chose to be king of his bunker.
Noraneko
He has his Palace to retire to too...
warriorbard
Maybe he's seeing the worm turn with Trump here
thinkybrainpains
I think he'd scorch the earth on his way out, destroying everything along the way. Best option is he has some of that special plutonium tea
Rumoh
thats what i mean king of his fallout bunker. yep best clean quick option would be a special tea indeed.

Belarus has just changed their constitution to give former presidents immunity from prosection. I'm like 60% certain Russia was planning (1)
adiving
That seems silly when that law can very simply be ditched by a next government.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
to or already has done something like that. I'd hate for him to go unpunished, but I'd prefer it to the nukes coming out. (2)
Shiftyeyesshady
That might work in your own country but international criminal courts don't give two shits.
leperoutcastunclean
International Criminal Courts have issues with jurisdiction; turns out that, short of war, it's hard to force a sovereign nation to do 1/?
leperoutcastunclean
things like "hand people over to an extranational tribunal they don't recognize to be prosecuted for actions performed while head of 2/?
DameDePiques
So, basically... Hitler's plan, but with nukes. Can I go back to not being born, please?
TransAtheistMinister
Yes, post-birth abortions are possible. Ask your doctor if it's right for you.
happenedtomeonce
You’re in luck, that’s kinda what nukes are good at
ElroydIsGone
As a small beacon of hope: Don't forget, that Hitler already had nerve gas, but didn't even use it at the bitter end.
SpaceMarineWithAnUrgeToPurge
Be careful what you wish for because that monkey's paw might just curl back.
