Hope you are right, he’s obviously a murdering maniac but despite the commentary about his shock and surprise I still think he knew what he was doing and what the reaction would be. He is a gangster after all.Anyone who has interacted and has an insight into how he is feeling has stated he has been shocked at the response he has got from this, in both the western response and the Ukrainian one .
I imagine he expected the response to be like crimea and he would be welcomed there. I mean historically the Bolshevik’s stream rolled through Ukraine in forming the ussr and he was relatively unopposed in crimea and stirring **** in the Donbas .
Despite thinking himself a master strategist he has obviously bit off more than he can chew doing this and I think he doesn’t really know what to do to save face in this and keep his power in tact, so he’s decided to double down
There is no reason to start ww3 from the offset, what has Putin got to gain ? Russia burning in nuclear destruction (because if they use nukes on us , we will on them ). He’s an evil **** but I can’t see him firing them because he will essentially subject his children to nuclear hurt too . Nobody wins at all . Why enter something that will inevitably lead to a draw at best and making the rest of your existence absolutely unbearable?
The only people I actually envisage would be batshit mental enough to use nukes are islamists myself
