"I spent four years as a political commentator on Russian state television (real Russian TV, not RT). I got to know many leading political figures in Russia, including members of the Duma and the Federation Council. They were generally a shockingly ignorant and thuggish bunch, Neanderthals in silk suits. And they were obsessed with one idea: Russia was, is, and always will be the geopolitical equal of the United States. Never mind that the U.S. economy is 15 times bigger or that the U.S. leads in technology, science, education, culture, and just about everything else. Russia has nuclear weapons, and can destroy the United States with the push of a button."
"Make no mistake, we are in a moment of deep peril. Nuclear war is more possible today than at any moment since the Cuban Missile Crisis. And there are no easy solutions."
Or he could be shilling for the bolsheviks with his article & warnings? Looking around at some of his articles he is not really a huge fan of the 2A & he has spent years & years on russian television. Think he could really do "accurate" commentary on russian TV without suffering some "accident" in time?
I don't agree that the world is in huge peril & you have to remember, just like the mafia (which is what he is really describing), climbing the power ladder & self preservation are diametrically opposite. He could talk to anyone who in peace could be full of shit & say the most outrageous things they believe, then take those pronouncements & extrapolate them to some type of almost Nostradamus edict.
Looking across the wholly unjustified fear of the bolshevik military, do you even know (does anyone) if their nukes haven't been pilfered or are mostly usable in today's world? There is so much corruption, who knows if silos have been neglected, or nukes have been rendered inoperable through skullduggery & thieveray?
If one thinks the world will sit back while tactical nukes fly in Ukraine, then I think you are mistaken. Never should have come to any of this though & wouldn't have but for the 1994 treaty on the word of the US, Uk & the bolsheviks that Ukraine's territorial integrity would remain solid.
I've been saving links about this cluster since last October & for grins from time to time I go back & look at articles at least 90 days old.Do you want to know how many of "the experts" have much of anything right? Almost none, I can only think of one "expert" saying something on the lines of russia will absolutely devastate the draftable male population of the DNR & LHR for fighting to take Ukraine. Guess what that has almost been accomplished.
Oh oh oh I have another expert here!

Or this one
The mobilization decreed by Putin may be the spark that sets off a political and social crisis and ends the regime—and, possibly, Russia.

I actually like this site & it writers
The Russian defense industry has some struggles ahead. It turns out that Russian industry needs Western components and Western support.

One of my favorites actually warms my capitalistic heart watching these dumb bastards falling off the tank before it smashed into a huge tree
The video also highlights how the tank 'lost' its men. Although the number of casualties is unknown, reports say that Vladimir Putin is suffering catastrophic losses in the Kharkiv region.

If they do go to the nuke card
Yes lets keep telling the Ukrainians to cede more of their land...(another of his articles)

At least if they use nukes they can still stay on the UN security council, they have that going for them. This is just another canard by someone whos route through life has dropped him in convenient locales to comment now. If the dude said "Putin will use nukes if corners 100% sure," "if he doesn't then I'll shoot myself in the head." I'll believe him, otherwise he is jive talking.
I have no idea what is going to happen, know what I wish for & know what is happening right now, but what the end will look like no idea. I just don't see the end being nukes.
Keep sending the sheep Vlad......
