He’s insane if thinks he can get away with this. Does he really think he can survive a nuclear exchange with us? All it would take is one and the whole world goes up in flames. China, the Norks and Pakistan aren’t going to sit by and wait to be immolated and neither are the guys standing behind Putin. There’s a Russian tradition of it’s leaders getting ‘’sick’’. Even Stalin, the “Man Of Steel’’ wasn’t immune to the “Kremlin Flu’’, or so it has been alleged. Putin is playing with fire and he’s the one who’ll end up getting burned.
There won't be any nuclear exchange, it's not necessary. The world is going globalist, and globalism is fascism, and fascism doesn't work. Collectivisms are parasitical - they need a host. Globalism has no host - it's all parasitism, all the time. There will never be a global society run by multinationals, because such a thing is not economically sustainable. But they will push for it nevertheless in order to collapse the global economic system. That is what Putin plans on surviving, and he's positioning his assets and claims to be in place before it happens. Nobody manages pre-computer society like Russians, and that's what he plans to be in charge of - rising from the global economic ashes.
