Vladimir Putin has mysteriously disappeared from public view as his regime issued apocalyptic World War Three nuclear threats over the use of long-range Western missiles by Ukraine against Russian territory.
It is unclear if during the past 12 days of high international tension the Kremlin dictator has been holed up in a hi-tech bunker, unwell, underwent another round of plastic surgery, took a secret holiday or simply chose to remain out of sight. Yet Putin, 72, has not been definitively seen since an appearance at the Valdai Forum in Sochi on November 7 when he congratulated a "courageous" Donald Trump on his election victory and hinted he was ready for talks to end the war in Ukraine, according to the Faridaily Telegram channel, which monitors his movements and appearances.
"Where Putin is in these anxious days, when the war with Ukraine is entering a new round of escalation, and what he is doing, apparently only his security and a small circle of close associates know," said the channel. Putin was noticeably absent from view on Tuesday when the Kremlin announced he had signed off a new version of Russia's nuclear doctrine, a revelation which came soon after his spokesman indicated the amended text was not ready.

Some could say the same about the US when looking at Iraq and Afghanistan. We could have easily leveled Baghdad and Kabul but chose not to. Russia could do the same to Kiev.
You are like the person in YouTube videos who tells the other person they don’t have the guts to shoot them. 100% of the time they eat the those words.

Can’t refute what I said. Let the name calling begin.
So what? Ukraine is supposed to be subjugated by now and yet they are still in the fight.
Since Ukraine is now firing long-range missiles, he probably thinks it wise not to advertise his location.
everyone knows his military is a joke.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It’s not his military people need to worry about. To prevent a full scale nuclear war I would prefer to see the Russians use all available force to crush Ukraine right now.
Who are you? the savior of Ukraine? What if they deserve it? Don’t spend my money and blood on your fetish
People also forget that the Russian subway stations in all major cities serve double duty as bomb shelters. Something the US never built for its people.
BTW, the ATACMS supplied to Ukraine was developed in the 1980s and is badly out of date. It was first used in Ukraine in October 2023. The US has supplied it to or agreed to supply it to more than a dozen other countries including most significantly Romania, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Wonder why they think they might need them?
The most advanced missile in the US inventory is LRPF.
The battle for Ukraine is more than just missiles.
Russia could do the same to Kiev.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
And anyone with an IQ above double digits who’s not insane would be praying that they do that rather than trigger a nuclear holocaust that could destroy ever major city in Europe and America!
No weapon was ever made not to be used.
Only idiots are so gleeful at biden SCREWING TRUMP and US by allowing deep range missiles into russia.
and NO ONE here is my ally that supports this.
You are neocons.
“What if they deserve it?”
No small country at peace with its much larger neighbor deserves to be invaded and occupied including all the countries invaded by Hitler and Stalin in WW II. This is just a redux as Putin tries to reassemble the Soviet empire.
Your fetish is surrender now, surrender tomorrow and surrender forever. Sobieski is Polish, so I presume some connection. Giving in to foreign aggression? Your ancestors are ashamed of you.
Actual facts are not propaganda. Just uncomfortable truths.

If the Ukraine is launching long range US missiles into Russia, maybe he doesn’t want anyone in the Ukraine or USA to know where he is...
