Would Putin press the nuclear button?
« on: February 27, 2022, 08:09:39 PM »
Interesting article from the BBC:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/would-putin-press-the-nuclear-button/ar-AAUopJ4?ocid=undefined

Quote
"He'd never annex Crimea, surely?" He did.

"He'd never start a war in the Donbas." He did.

"He'd never launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine." He has.

I've concluded that the phrase "would never do" doesn't apply to Vladimir Putin.

In case we do not make it through this crisis, it was nice knowing you members of this forum. I need to catch a plane to the safest of my safe houses.

Launching nukes is a totalally diff ball game.

MAD, even if Ukraine has no nukes.

"Putin would never invade (enter surrounding country to Russia)." Never is a strong word.

If you think MSNBC is actually talking sense, you haven't paid attention the last 10 years.

"Lions, and Tigers and Bears" should stay in the sports segment where it belongs.

Here was an interview of Putin 3 years ago.


Unless you understand Russian, turn on CC to see the transcript.

“But for me as a citizen of Russia and the head of the Russian state, then I want to ask myself a question. But why do we need such a world if there is no Russia?”
