I dont think that he would care.
He's about legacy. His legacy wouldn't exist bc everyone in his motherland would be dead.If he gets desperate, then yes. By desperate I mean that he knows if he loses a conventional war then he is toast. He is sick anyways, so he is toast soon. Me fear is that if he thinks "to hell with it all, I'll take as many with me as I can". Hopefully cooler heads in Russia would prevail ultimately if he made that call. Heck, we likely have a couple of trident subs in the black sea that can hit Russia with 60 nukes even before they have time to counter....if we wanted to of course.
Which is where my take comes from. Putinwas around during the Cold War he's seen the USSR at arguably its peak. I believe he wants to be the one who took down the country that took down the iron curtain. Imo thats his end game and the why behind what he's doing.He's about legacy. His legacy wouldn't exist bc everyone in his motherland would be dead.
You also voted for Biden, so its not a surprise you have a hard time with logical thinking.
Putin wants to bait these countries into invoking article 5. Then when NATO attacks, Putin can use his nukes. Hes trying to bait NATO allies into doing more than providing support from afar.
Russia should own it and apologize, but no. They’ll deflect blame and deny it ever occurred.
Scary times we live in. We are very close to WW3 if things don’t simmer down.
Marking this for playback later Moe. Already seeing conflicting reports on missile type from the troll farm report you’re parroting. This one is likely going to blow up in your face like all the rest.You guys were hoping so bad it was Russia...
