    My theory is that he's just using this rhetoric to advance his position within the EU bureaucracy and to insulate himself from any criticism that he wasn't doing enough when the whole thing falls apart. He'll be like see I wanted to send troops in but it's all you fuckers who were scared.

      I’m glad he’s gambling with our lives just to elevate his status. Even if troops are never dropped I’m not thrilled with them threatening to do it anyway even though they are well aware the consequences.

          I’m not a Putin simp or anything but it’s funny how the west was crying about how he’s a “madman” and a “psycho” and “insane,” yet they’re the ones who are putting the rest of the world at risk and hungering for more, even worse, violent conflict.

            Indeed, I mean just looks at the insanity on display here

            She said Putin understands people are “afraid of the nuclear war” so plays into that to shock the public.

            “It is a trap, a trap of self-deterrence,” the Estonian politician said. “Because if we are afraid, then we start to self-deter – and this is what Putin wants.

              I know multiple people irl who would look at this and see absolutely nothing wrong with this rhetoric. In fact, they will support every word

                  Shame, really. I barely even lived, now I have to die. Because line go up. Because some crusty fucks couldn't stand the thought of USSR existing. Couldn't stand the thought of not owning everything. Stupid ass timeline

                    Very much agree. Everything we're seeing happening today is the result of USSR collapsing. It will go down as one of the greatest tragedies in human history, assuming there's still human history at the end of all this.
