With 6 thousand nuclear warheads, whether he is acting out of fear or strength is moot. The only question is will he follow through.Putin first mentioned his nuclear weapons when saying other countries should not interfere in his attack on Ukraine. Now, when his troops are having a lot more trouble in taking the country than he and his people expected and even his oligarchs are beginning to turn on him after the sanctions, he has turned up the heat on the nuclear saber rattling by raising the threat level of his forces. So do you think that this is a sign of his strength which Trump keeps praising or his weakness caused by the whole world and many of his own people turning against him?
Definitely weak. Man his military looks so weak and I think he's not liking how that is getting out to the rest of the world. So talking nukes is cover for that.

depends on if he's actually willing to do it, and i think he is.Putin first mentioned his nuclear weapons when saying other countries should not interfere in his attack on Ukraine.

Brilliant military analysis there armchair general.depends on if he's actually willing to do it, and i think he is.
He feels his country is backed to a corner for reasons we can only speculate(although i have my ideas, and it's far more than ukraine). Russia is a country that's about to crack, and when they do, a nuclear option becomes almost inevitable because...well...if they're going down, they'll take the rest of the world with them.
Malcolm doesn't know the shit he's saying. Is putin really the guy to bluff? WE bluff, that's what the US does.
well, you asked the question. what I'm sad to see is people unwilling to swallow their egos. In better times, when stuff like this came up, we found a way to negotiate.Brilliant military analysis there armchair general.
This is what Putin actually said.Putin first mentioned his nuclear weapons when saying other countries should not interfere in his attack on Ukraine. Now, when his troops are having a lot more trouble in taking the country than he and his people expected and even his oligarchs are beginning to turn on him after the sanctions, he has turned up the heat on the nuclear saber rattling by raising the threat level of his forces.

I think it's probably meant for an internal more than external audience. He knows the notion that we'd use nuclear weapons preemptively against him is dumb, but his people may not.Putin first mentioned his nuclear weapons when saying other countries should not interfere in his attack on Ukraine.

You're a few days late on news.This is what Putin actually said.
Putin warns interference would lead to 'such consequences that you have never encountered in your history'
So first you have to convince me he was rattling his nuclear saber and that this is not media hysteria.
It's really all he has left. I think he believed this would go differently but it appears almost nothing is going as planned. When you're backed into a corner you get desperate. Let's hope calmer minds in Russia can stop him.

Escalation isn't a one-way street.
How do you think he got into that corner?Escalation isn't a one-way street.
