And here’s one for people to mull around. If Putin and the DS are operating in such opposition to one another, then why did Putin do exactly what all the leftists in our own country wanted him to do?

All the leftists/globalists are damning him. What did he do that leftists wanted him to do?

Invaded Ukraine.
The following was a headline on the open forum Sunday, taken from the UK Daily Mail, but I noted that the word “deterrent” was left out of many subsequent stories that followed the first announcement.
“Military chiefs are caught in the headlights as Vlad orders his nuclear deterrent forces to go on ‘alert’ with a decree that shocked the world”
I noted that Vlad described his military team as “nuclear deterrent forces”. Does this mean he’s intending to use nuclear force to deter ANY measure used against his troops, however minor, or do his nuclear deterrent forces exist only to deter others from employing nuclear force against his country first?
The US Department of Defense defense.gov web site describes Nuclear Deterrence as:
“Nuclear deterrence means that when the U.S. has nuclear weapons, it tempers in some fashion the activities of potential adversaries around the globe — helping to ensure those adversaries don’t make dangerous miscalculations about what they can get away with based on what they think the U.S. is capable of or willing to do in response.”
If we substitute Russia for U.S. in the above description, it seems likely that Putin is hoping to prevent another country from using nuclear weapons against Russia first for fear of retaliation in kind. That the media dropped the word ‘deterrent’ from most reporting on the subject suggests a desire to inflame sensibilities and escalate tension. I doubt this is an accident.
