All of it has shocked me. I worry. I worry about Putin getting bullied into a corner. He has to have a way to exit and save face while doing it. Why would he let others beat him into submission when he's got a weapon up his sleeve? The most dangerous people are the one who feel they no longer have anything to lose and have the capability to pull off a plan of destruction.

@morrgin bullied into a corner? By whom? I'd say he's far more likely to paint himself into a corner

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP all the sanctions. Maybe if he gets himself there he will just stay there

@morrgin those sanctions aren't going to do much unless Russians start to turn on him. And if they do, who's he going to nuke? I suppose the most likely way it would lead to an expanding war is if he decides to attack a NATO country to somehow stave off a coup at home
