The proxy war NATO is fighting with their sock puppet, Zelensky, allows them to use the advanced weaponry of multiple nations, causing Putin to fight multiple countries at once, at the same time sneering he’s weak because he didn’t defeat the Ukraine swiftly as thought, back when he believed he was only fighting the Ukraine.
So Putin is acknowledging the nations who are fighting him, and telling them they don’t get to just watch from the balcony. The Deep State does want WWIII so this statement from him may be satisfying in that they will use it to portray him as a threat to collect more ‘foreign aid’, as they continue the war they collaborated to design about 10 years ago, and have been training up and arming to fight ever since.
Well, he did stupidly attack Ukraine. His massive tank columns on their way 90 km to Kyiv did fall apart and get stuck in a quagmire within three days. He has lost more than 100,000 troops since the invasion began. He did lose a capital ship, the "Moskva," the pride of the Black Sea Fleet, with almost all hands on board. He did fail to anticipate that Ukraine would receive support from the collective West. And he is being pushed back on all fronts.
In that case, I'd say that the "sneering" was justified.
The man is incompetent.
