Sure seems like Putin might be trying antagonize the West into direct conflict. I know some think he doesn't want that, but now that's he's seeing an impossible win and total lack of support publicly, he may need a larger war to gain local support and rationalize an escalation to larger weaponry.

If Putin deliberately engages the West, then he is an even worse of a madman than I thought.

Actual retard. I had a feeling that Putin knew something we didn't this whole time, but now I'm just chalking up his previous reputation for intelligence to his regime being too big to fail.

They just don't make superpowers like they used to, do they.

The man is unhinged and certifiable. I don't put anything past him at this point. I believe he feels humiliated by all of the sanctions.
