Add fissionables too the list of threats, Kim. Vlad, it is only a threat if not backed up with mushrooms. The logic that post battle with covid and 20 years attempting to turn Afghans into westerners, usa & EU's Oligarchs would be weak and would bow out while you took the rest of Ukraine? Oops! Big miscalculation.

Oil and gas crisis was a good time to attack, again thinking erroneously, NATO was too exhausted and greedy to relinquish wheat, gas, and oil a la Russe. Good ploy, but summer means fires in arctic Russia. Who will help when tundra thaws? When St. Basil's is on fire? Granted, earth is over populated, but you will not be doing the culling with nukes.

Bad moufin' is ebonics for all talk and no thing else. NATO is in talks with western oligarchs on how to spend your frozen assets, sell your yatchs, and divide up the remnants of Momma Russia. They want your gas and oil and wheat. Thanks for developing those commodites for the biggest gun toters. Finland snd Sweden want some of he spoils. China has Covid. They already own Taiwan legally. To nationalize is a verb.

We kill babies in wars, but we have not unloosed all our arsenal against weaker states; not defeated, a refusal to totally annihilate. Half of usa's GDP is its military arsenal. Attack our computer grid and we will bury you. (Sorry Nikita, I stole your line.)
