Perhaps, but NATO-EU-USA have directed supposed severe sanctions against Russia, are now confiscating assets, Biden gloats about destroying their currency and stock market, are now supplying lethal aide...
Now US leaders from both parties are talking about Putin being a “madman” or “evil.” Seems to me, that might make Putin think we think he might strike us with nukes. If he believes we think he might strike us, wouldn’t it be logical to consider hitting us? The West is insane. We keep ratcheting up the rhetoric, to what end? Seems it could make a “madman” more desperate.
