    define "a lot" vis Hitler.

    I believe there are two known plots, one of which was in 1939, commemorating the Beer Hall Putsch, but he wasn't even there when the bomb went off.

    but maybe you have additional info.

    Everyone relax and buy military industrial complex stocks.... we are on day 5 of a 10-20 year war.


    "Given the durability of the Ukrainian resistance and its long history of pushing Russia back, the U.S. and Western powers do not believe that this will be a short war. The U.K. foreign secretary estimated it would be a 10-year war. Lawmakers at the Capitol were told Monday it is likely to last 10, 15 or 20 years — and that ultimately, Russia will lose."

    I have to agree with this. We will have to enforce a no fly zone and what happens when we shoot down one of their planes or they shoot down one of ours. Things will inevitably escalate.

    It will be very hard to keep things limited and with Putin willing to consider battlefield nukes we aren’t sure how that would end.

    This is our problem as a country or really people in general, for some reason you have to be labeled either a Democrat or a Republican as if all republicans and democrats are evil.

    I just don't understand it, that's the type of thinking that started the Holocaust and Slavery in the U.S. once you remove the humanity of a person because of skin color or political leaning, it's easy to look at them as less than human.

    Attempts should be changed to plots but I think he had 4 that had an actual chance of working.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assassination_attempts_on_Adolf_Hitler

    Some of these are speculation and no chance of working, but there were a lot of people plotting.

    I don't know how much of the news coming from the Ukrainians is propaganda but they are certainly winning the media war.

    Again being arrogant does not serve you well. Your initial statement is the issue. I am done here,

    Surprised anyone thinks it's straightforward to off a mega-paranoid, powerful, and clever person.

    I'm guessing that poster is Tinman, who is like a digital furbaby to them.

    It only makes sense he acts like a 6 and a half yr old if you count it in dog years

    Aww he shat on the carpet again? How cute!

    Who wants a like? Who wants a Michael Jackson belly rub??

    The longer this lasts, the longer Putin support crumbles.

    Could be used for hiding war crimes. I would be worried about them used on Ukrainians

    One of Putin's agenda is to annex or cripple Ukraine's natural gas infrastructure. I saw a yt that did a good job predicting the scenario of connecting all the breakways to Moldovia which would secure connection Crimea, Sevestapol, and the river Ukraine dammed up to cripple Crimea's main water supply.

    Not only would it secure shale oil deposits in the breakway regions, it would give them 3/4th of the offshore gas deposits found near Crimea's EEZ. Those developments were not only a threat to Russia's gas supremacy in Europe, but also a fat carrot for NATO entry,

    Ofc, it seems unlikely now, but Russians can still do what they've historically done best...burn, rape, and pillage to inflict generational scars on the oppressed.
