I think Putin thinks they are getting ready to set up a false flag nuke event to blame on Russia.
Who knows?
“I think Putin thinks they are getting ready to set up a false flag nuke event to blame on Russia.”
NATO is pretty much out of weapons they can give Ukraine, so now they have two choices - send in front-line weapons with NATO troops (no way to get the Ukrainians trained in time), or get the nuclear warfare started. Obviously we don’t know which they’ll choose, but my guess is that they’ll start with the Dirty Bomb option by setting one off in what is still Ukraine, and of course blame Russia. At that point, the conventional forces will move in.
Again, just a guess, so calm down Cheerleaders.
