the russian diaspora means nothing to putin except as a propaganda point. kill ‘em all, who cares. just good headlines for pravda. possibly just a little more useful to intern them but that gets messy too. largely pointless i suspect.

if putin is the key, then things must be done which a) putin doesn’t like, b) russian people and decision-makers blame putin for.

regrettably i think that means annihilation of russian and 3rd party forces in georgia. simple! with proper light infantry weps in georgian hands, i think, t-72s and 1970s a/c piloted by rookies cannot stand.

oh yeah, and mysterious sinkings of russian ships is good. mines or SOF better than torp/missile attacks, want deniability/low signature.

if possible, the roki tunnel should be saved to drive ossetians north in their skivvies. abkhazia have also proven bad actors and should be targeted. ‘goodbye america,’ eh?

too drastic/evil? need deniability somehow. of course we would never do such a thing. blame it on the georgians? false flag ops? or litvinenko style effrontery?

that is probably extreme, but i now disagree we should make it easy for them. it should be “varus gimme back my legions” time. end game of putin being lynched by his own mobs-turned-mourners, or blown up by angry siloviki.

just remember, putin hasn’t got the balls. we don’t know this for sure because we haven’t kicked him in the crotch yet.

oh, and job one on the outside? forget g8, forget the stabilization fund. find putin’s piggy bank and those of his friends and take them away.
