Putin is struggling to hold on to the gains he's made in a single country. Now he thinks he's going to take on the rest of the industrialized world at once? Get real. Either launch your nukes or shut the fuck up. Hearing about his delusions of grandeur is so annoying at this point.

I don't support nuclear war but I agree with the sentiment. Bro is a clown and Republicans and their sycophants cucking themselves for a failure as they've been demonstrated to be is hilarious. The mental gymnastics must be tiresome.

Oh yeah, I'm definitely not advocating for nuclear war. I'm just pointing out that he doesn't have many other options left. He certainly can't win a ground war against NATO, even if the US abandons the alliance like Trump seems to want us to do. Basically, if everyone knows you're full of shit why are you still running your mouth?

When people keep taking shit after they've been slapped, it's time to slap them again. The EU really needs to step up, and provide that slap. With even a bit of material support the EU could step up and push Russia 75km into Russian territory and establish a no fly zone.

Russia's a joke.

He's got three random low cards on the table while threatening to play a royal flush and take the pot.
