Well, there’s the theory that Vladdy really wants to restore the old Russian Empire etc. It doesn’t seem so crazy to me the more this slaughterhouse drags on. Nukes, yeah that’s the next step when you run out of soldiers because they’re all dead. Putin has about 6,000 of them, and most of them are vastly more destructive than the Hiroshima variety.
Destroy the world to save my empire. I hope the man is not that psychotic.
You’re right, Sputum is from the old regime and longs for the old Russia, which failed miserably, but he was KGB and I’m sure he lived well, more so than the peasants he helped to oppress. There’s also the question of would his military carry out their order for the beginning of the end? Vladdy boy is crazy, but are they all? They would have to know they would all die as well. I can remember my school days in the 60’s when there were tests for air raids. We were told to hide under our desks as if that would do any good. After a while we began to realize Russia was just filled with hot air. The maniac Kruschev backed down like the bully and coward he was.
