You sound like you took the jab and all the boosters.
Russia's politicians have been saying for months that if they are facing an existential threat to the country, Russia may go nuclear.
That's not suicidal -- because if they faced an existential threat, and did nothing, they'd be guaranteed to die.
They are hoping to warn others off.
Whereas, Dementia Joe is also a bully, but is too stupid and addled to consider whether major escalation with Russia is suicidal.
And then there's the financial realignment (BRICS vs. petrodollar) as well as skyrocketing excess deaths from the clot shots.
We sure are living in interesting times.
“Russia’s POLITICIANS have been saying for months that if they are facing an existential threat to the country, Russia may go nuclear.”
I highlighted the pertinent word: POLITICIANS.
Politicians blow smoke; they bluster; they bluff; they ham for the camera. There are Russians who have power who will not allow Russia to commit suicide.
“That’s not suicidal — because if they faced an existential threat, and did nothing, they’d be guaranteed to die.”
What existential threat? Russia has not been presented with anything even remotely close to an existential threat. But, do you know who has? Ukraine.
“They are hoping to warn others off.”
No, they are hoping to SCARE others off.
“Whereas, Dementia Joe is also a bully, but is too stupid and addled to consider whether major escalation with Russia is suicidal.”
Yeah, Biden is a bully, and has been one his entire life. And, he is full of false bravado just as his counterpart in Russia is. Escalation? How is arming Ukraine so it can defend itself against the unwarranted invasion of its country by a bellicose and belligerent Russia any kind of existential threat to Russia?
“And then there’s the financial realignment (BRICS vs. petrodollar) as well as skyrocketing excess deaths from the clot shots.”
Then don’t take the jab!
“We sure are living in interesting times.”
On that we agree.
Hey. I loved your post.

If Pooftin launches nukes, without being assassinated and overthrown, think ahead and surmise the viability of Russia once all is over. What do you think will be the livability of Russia? What spoils remain for the victor? The lifespan of whomever gives the order to launch, should be extremely short to prevent the total loss of the Muthaland!
