This psycho Putin might be insane enough to start a nuke war.
Not likely. Why would Putin nuke his best customers? Russians would starve like they did in the last big war & his kleptocracy will be destroyed. This is all psywar trying to bully. Nukes are all the Tin Pot Czar has to saber rattle with because in every other way Russia is a Potemkin super power.
Putin is insane and things can escalate out of control very quickly. Putin won’t back down if he perceives a threat or chance of losing this chess match he is playing with a neutered NATO and the boob POTUS.
Potemkin or not, Russia won the war against Georgia even while we tried to support it.
Russia seems to have virtually won over Ukraine.
Don’t they also support Iran - and no one seems to have touched them?
