PUTIN HAS TO GO: RUSSIANS WANT HIM GONE TOO.

ICHEOKU says it cannot remain business as usual for the dictator of Russia, regardless of how the current hostilities he brought on Ukraine finally concludes. The West condoned and tolerated him for far too long, to the extent of literally cuddling him, in their attempt to mollify and pacify him. His ego is simply too big for his petite stature such that the more the West tries to massage it, the more his head gets bigger. Now he is madder than he already is and has started breaking things up in Ukraine, a prelude to what is yet to come in Eastern Europe. 

President Vladimir Putin has held forte in Russia for 23 long years and this aberration was accepted by the West just because it is Putin and they are afraid of his choler. Now he has finally removed his mask of Zorro and is attacking an independent sovereign country without provocation, killing many and destroying a lot of stuff. His unprovoked attack must come with consequences and they must go to the root of what he is and what gives him the impetus to do what he does, his power must be taken away from him. 

The Ukraine war presents a golden opportunity for the West to finally cut Putin to size and consign him into the garbage heap of history where he rightly belongs. He must be removed from office and cannot be allowed to remain Russian president, going forward. If he refuses to go, the world should withdraw their recognition of him as the president of Russia because he is no longer a fit and proper person for that office. Power intoxicates and absolute power corrupts the unhinged absolutely, and President Vladimir Putin has shown that he is not totally in sync upstairs. 

Russia should be sent back to the cold where they belong and from where the West has been trying to drag them out of. Everything Russia should be boycotted and prohibited from the West, including barring their national airline Aeroflot any landing right in every Western country; boycotting their products, if any.There should be a total embargo placed on every Russian government official from traveling to any Western country and their children, wives, families and dependent relatives in the West should be immediately mass deported back to Russia. 

Put in another way, there should be a total and complete boycott of Russia: economic, social, sports and diplomatic to put unimaginable pressure on President Vladimir Putin and force him to end the war which he unleashed on Ukraine. Let Russia be isolated and left alone in the dark as the uncivilized people who still believe in acute dictatorship and wishfully trying to rewind back the hands of time. Like Dorothy said in Wizard of Oz, we are no longer in Kansas but President Vladimir Putin still thinks that the world is still stuck in 1990's Soviet era, when everyone in Eastern Europe had to be dictated to, clobbered in a union of the unwilling but cowered people, the defunct and never coming back Union of Soviet Socialist Republic.

President Vladimir Putin's Russia must also be made to pay for all the damage which its army is inflicting on Ukraine. They must repair every destroyed building and structure in Ukraine as well as pay compensation for killed Ukrainian soldiers and civilians. The seized Russian assets and money should be commandeered to pay for these costs. Russia should be expelled from the United Nations Organization and other world bodies, such as FIFA, as a means of punishing Russia for what it is doing in Ukraine and making it known to him that his arbitrariness can no longer be tolerated. 

If Russia does not want to conform its actions to modernity, then there is no business having it among the comity of civilized and modern nations. Enough of Putin's madness. President Vladimir Putin must be held accountable for his unprovoked aggression in Ukraine. He has to go; removed from office or in a worse case scenario, eliminated. His hostility to Russia's neighbors and constantly keeping the world scared and guessing what he might do, should no longer be accommodated and must cease forthwith. 

ICHEOKU says President Vladimir Putin's idiotic despotism has gone on for far too long. Like Kenneth Kaunda's Zambia, Russia shall be free, freed of Putin's acute dictatorship. He has gotten away with so much and with the apparent consent and approval of the West. Now is the time to coral the wild bronco and lasso him to order or as a war criminal which he has morphed into. His problem, the Putin Problem, should be finally and permanently solved for good, by engineering his exit from office. #RemovePutinFromPower.
