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.

I agree, these limited fighting type of wars drag on for years and never lead to a decisive victory. Best to destroy your enemy versus naton building or Attrition.
exactly. Complete 100% BS about nukes.
Russia is on it’s last leg. When you have to go to North Korea for help, you KNOW you are in a world of hurt
They had to get the double up to speed.
It’s kind of funny…99% of Americans don’t know what that poster says. But you do.
You haven't posted any facts yet.
Can you imagine a super power relying on Iran and North Korea to win the war for them?
Russia hasn’t won a war on their own for more than 100 years.
And they are getting beaten up by a bunch of farmers.
It’s pathetic. I would be ashamed if that were my homeland.
So what?
Most advanced? ATACMMS are 1980’s tech. The reason we authorized them is that we were out of the short ranged ones. And these long ranged ones are reaching their “expiration date.”
We are emptying the supply closet. We don’t give Ukraine the “good stuff.”
Imagine if we gave them Tomahawks?
He would have if he could have. You’re asking the wrong question. Why did he take ANY of Georgia.
The “useful idiots” are the ones supporting Putin. That would be you.
Dummy....... your ignorance and attempt at humor is just plaindumb
I posted -
Russia invaded Ukraine February 24, 2022.
Ukraine is still defending itself from that invasion.
(I’ll let you do the math of how long it is from February 4, 2022 until today.)
These are both actual facts. It’s also a further fact that you’re in denial about these facts.
LOL! I knew you couldn’t answer. You couldn’t even find South Ossetia on a map. What are your pronouns?
Oh brother. Your name calling is pathetic. You are a disgrace to the name Sobieski.
BTW, which American units have been deployed to Ukraine? None. Apparently being “on the front lines” (whatever that means) has deeply affected you leaving you a coward even when no American lives are at stake.
If Ukrainians want to die for their country, literally on the front lines, I’m perfectly fine with spending money resisting Putin’s hegemony. Cheap insurance.
Since the end of WW II, we have NOT stayed out the Soviet’s and then Russia’s backyard. You might have heard of NATO which has been in operation since 1949. Since you ignorantly assert that, you might also want to have a look here.

Sod off.
You’re a waste of bandwidth and not worth the time or trouble.
South Ossetia. Oooh! A geography quiz. I did answer, but who knew it was a geography quiz. Because that’s not what you asked.
And there are more insults. I could ask you where are your gonads. You couldn’t find them with both hands.
