    Almost certainly true, but the problem is the “boy cries wolf” all the time – then suddenly the tanks are rolling into Ukraine… So you can’t totally disregard what he says.

  2. The _only_ card Putin has is nukes. That’s it.

    He can’t even beat Ukraine in a conventional war, even when he specifically targets civilian centres and civilian infrastructure.

    Honestly at this point, I’m pretty sure even China would take him out before he killed _everyone_.

  3. ruzzia is collapsing like a house of cards. The dealer himself is digging a deeper ditch to shoot his brains out in it.

    The audacity… how can he threaten to start a war against half the world when he can’t even take down a tiny nation with their hands tied to their backs…

  5. We need to just keep calling his bluff..

    I don’t get the west walking on eggshells with this asshole when it’s 100% clear he’s a paper tiger.

    They won’t use nukes no matter how much they threaten it because it’s complete national suicide. Their conventional forces are being decimated by a small country fighting with heavy restrictions that’s successfully invaded and taken territory in Russia proper because Putin can’t even defend effectively.

    Let him declare war on NATO.. they’ll be a nation of craters within 48 hours

    >On Friday, the Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, said there was no doubt that the Russian president’s message had reached those it was intended for.

    If this was sent via Whatsapp, that message would only get blueticked.

  7. It’s not downplaying when all his “threats” are nothing but vague hints of “actions” and “decisions”. Not once has he come up with an actual threat.

    War with NATO lmao. This wanker is too scared to say russia is at war with Ukraine.

  8. Many of you are forgetting that whatever the state of Russia or its military, it still has weapons of mass destruction. Armchair generals abound thinking they know better than the combined intelligence services of 32 NATO members.

    >But the European Commission chief, Ursula von der Leyen, said in a statement on Wednesday that she “strongly condemns” the Language used by Putin.

    Saying you Strongly condemn something is like telling a kid you disapprove of them throwing a tantrum.

  10. He started this mess now we will perish by it. Once you make a decision you have to live with the consequences that come with it, if you didn’t contemplate those that’s your problem but it doesn’t excuse you from the responsibility. For ages his Ego didn’t have to care about the consequences at all, but the time to pay the piper is soon to come.

    This is exclusive to Putin at all, it can be applied to all world leaders, CEO’s and even the common folk but a lot of times we tend to forget about it, those that think they live above society a lot more than “us” but nonetheless my point remains.
