It’s just posturing. Putin knows he’s in the driver’s seat now. He can do basically whatever he wants, so he can actually amplify his brio for the next six weeks, and then he can actually act on some of the threats after Trump is in office. As I’ve argued elsewhere, his goal at this point is likely to give an excuse and cover for Trump to exit NATO, which would dramatically open up his options and leverage in Europe more broadly.
That’s a frightening forecast, but not without merit.
Do it, pussies!
I’m so over the bullshit of the last decade or so that a quick death in nuclear hellfire sounds absolutely merciful compared to what awaits us if we continue this downward spiral.Hah try it a nuke in Ukraine generates a full European response.
It’s nato if the fallout covers nato countries
Well, there is the Budapest memorandum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum
In exchange for Ukraine giving up their nuclear arsenal, we’re supposed to help them in the case of a nuclear attack.
Bring it. Swift end to the worst timeline. Next one might be better.
Totes for REALS this time, man! We will go fucking ape on your ass!
