He's flexing his increasingly saggy man-boobs, same old, same old. Russia is in no way shape or form prepared for a sustained conflict with Europe or the US - the only way it would end is with nuclear exchange, and Putin and every one of his cronies knows that. They didn't do it in the Cold War, they're not gonna try it now that the balance of power has shifted dramatically out of their favour.

Putin isn't that stupid.

I'm sure he knows that if he attacks anyone in the West, he'd start a nuclear war.

Can't have coke-fuelled orgies when there's nukes falling. I mean I guess you CAN, but you'll run out of coke sooner or later and the rich cunts don't want that.
