The paranoid 'old man in the bunker': Isolated Putin spends time 'stewing in his own fears' after 'withdrawing into himself' during pandemic and only has contact with his inner circle

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] How very 'Hitlerian'

#12  He hasn't even begun to unleash the fire and fury available to him. So stupid not to sign a treaty.. all this could have been avoided.

Now he's threatening nuclear war and no one even knows who the hell is in charge of your nation.

#11  Putin being EX-KGB Lt Colonel Spy that resigned and went straight into politics in 1991. Is a dyed Deep USSR RED Communist. He is likely to try anything, including 1960's DEFCON 1 resulting scenario actions.

Whatever the case, it is clear Biden and his handlers overplayed their game of Saber Rattling.

#8  Pooty hasn't even begun to fight
He has 100 times the firepower he's used so far
Zelensky should cash in his chips while he still has a city else Kiev will look like Grozny did in 2000 (and that was before Pooty arrived)

#7  Putin is reaching for the gold ring. He is no western politician. No meaningful help from the west. Ukraine will fold in short order. Ukraine is already asking for ammunition.

#6  This cast is for the wrong player. It is Biden in the bunker. Putin will stay the course. He has much to gain but everything to lose.

#5  Z agreed to peace talks in Belarus - said he wouldn't, now he's giving up
P will bomb the shit out of UA the way the US bombed the shot out of Cambodia during the Paris Peace Talks

If Z is smart he'll agree to partition UA and let RU have the east and South, that's all RU wants anyway, this will be over real soon

#4  I still think Putin is a very smart guy but if his invasion forces continue to be frustrated I have to wonder if he has enough domestic support to stay the course. Every day the Ukrainians hold out and Zelensky mocks him it will get worse.

#1  Well, if he has lockdown fever, it might explain his willingness to, at least ,threaten nuclear war...
