Bottom line: stop falling for Russia's intimidation tactics. Russia isn't actually going to touch their nuclear arsenal in this conflict.
We thought they wouldn't invade Ukraine, either. We thought they wouldn't cut Russia off from the West, wouldn't wreck their own country, wouldn't commit inhumane war crimes on a daily basis, wouldn't...
But here we are, living through all of it.
The only people with any sense fled Russia long ago. Now, all that's left is a bunch of idiots brainwashed by propaganda and the poor folks who have nowhere else to go and zero cash to escape. So now they're stuck choosing between starving at home or heading to the front lines. They're going to war without even knowing why, who they're fighting, or what the hell is even happening.
I have never, in my entire life, seen a more pathetic group of wretches than these mobilized soldiers. I wouldn't trust them to watch a flock of sheep, let alone hold a weapon.
The takeaway: we can expect just about anything, and we should prepare to be blindsided. Putin has proven he is willing to do absolutely any disgusting thing just to feed his own narcissistic ego.
