I don't find Putin as insane or stupid. From his point of view, he looks at America and wonders why we do the stupid stuff we do. We invade Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, and have the CIA get involved with multiple countries around the world attempting leadership change for the benefit of the US. But when Russia does it, we bluster, and shame Russia for it's actions. I would be confused as well from his point of view. Not long after the cold war we send a crazy corrupt lady to Russia with a button that read overcharge on it. Are they taunting you or she just inept? If she is just stupid or inept is America really more powerful than Russia? Then we replace the one man who talked to Russia as an equal, but said he wanted to work with Russian but in America's best interest. with a blubbering weak, idiot who is in mental in decline, that thinks he is still in the Cold War of the 1970's. Who is in charge in the US? NATO refused to pull it's weight, so why think of them as a threat. If the US is training Ukrainian troops, and is as involved in Ukraine as your intelligence is telling you, with the last three Presidents involved as well, then the next step is adding them to NATO, something that would be a huge threat to Russia.At least I hope so.
Is Vladimir Putin Bluffing? No, He Isn’t.
He cant possibly be crazy enough to actually use nuclear weapons, can he? Unfortunately, the answer is yes, he is.

I stand corrected, it was not something on which everyone can agree."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! https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2022/09/why_russia_wont_use_nuclear_weapons_in_ukraine.html

Putin's Partial Ukraine Mobilization Could Mean the End of Russia
The mobilization decreed by Putin may be the spark that sets off a political and social crisis and ends the regime—and, possibly, Russia.

JUSTIN BRONK: Vladimir Putin has no good options for how to react
Military expert Justin Bronk has analysed the latest situation in an article for MailOnline today as Ukrainian troops continued to pile pressure on retreating Russian forces.www.dailymail.co.uk
I actually like this site & it writers
Russia's Defense Industry Is In Serious Trouble Due to Sanctions
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
Russian troops fall off fleeing tank that ends up in a 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)
In Ukraine, a Bad Peace Is Better Than a Good War
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......

What has he done? Took up for his country when POS NATO ran by elite pedophiles wirh Biolabs tried to take him over?
At least I hope so.

Perhaps I misunderstand what you’re trying to say about this war, but I will tell you you are in error if you think Putin is the “good” guy. The sad fact is *none* of them are good guys, Putin included.
No, I have no immediate thoughts on this accusation. Do you?Any thoughts on Russian balloters going door-to-door escorted by armed officers forcing votes for Putin’s annexation?
Did America and/or NATO cause this as well???
Fictitious Annexation Follows 'Voting' at Gunpoint
Vladimir Putin has just signed a document claiming to annex four Russia-occupied Ukrainian territories in Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. Days before, Russia purported to hold “referendums” in these areas, with hastily staged “voting,” in some cases at gunpoint.www.hrw.org

Cmon Dan I've said a hundred times I'm not calling Putin good- must I say it every post?
Similar to Democrat vote harvesting schemes.Any thoughts on Russian balloters going door-to-door escorted by armed officers forcing votes for Putin’s annexation?

Saying I have no immediate thoughts on something I just heard from someone whose objectivity I question is not avoiding anything. Plus, it has not gone unnoticed that you avoided posting your own thoughts on the subject.Truly shocked you’d avoid this one haha…here’s some more background for you since you and others have m convinced yourself for a long time Crimea was Obama’s doing lol
Occupied regions of Ukraine vote to join Russia in staged referendums
The so-called referendums — which Ukraine, the U.S. and others have denounced as shams — are widely viewed as an initial Kremlin move toward formal Russian annexation of the territories.
“The process — and outcome — was reminiscent of the Kremlin's hastily staged referendum in Crimea over eight years ago, after Russian troops seized that part of Ukraine in 2014. The official outcome of that referendum, which was also denounced as a farce by international observers, was that more than 95% of voters wanted to join the Russian Federation.
Following the vote, Moscow quickly annexed Crimea. In response, the U.S., the European Union and the United Nations all rejected the Crimea referendum as illegal and sanctioned Russia.
Western leaders say the elections in Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine are also illegal under international law and that they will not accept the outcome.”
