He's trying to be intimidating. Plain and simple. He's suggesting that he could put nine times the boots on the ground he's already put there, and create an overwhelming wave of soldiers.

@LordShadowfire lots of sunflowers!

Lots of russian mothers burying Russia’s children.

I don’t know if you’re familiar with russian mothers, but that’s one force of nature I would never want to confront

@newjaninev2 I agree. His threat isn't actually very scary, but that's what he was trying to say.

@LordShadowfire I wonder what’s going on inside his head... what level of self-delusion is going on in there.

Its quite fascinating

@newjaninev2 I could be wrong, but I see a sociopathic narcissist who's been told by the world that he's not allowed to do something, and that makes him want to do it even more.

@LordShadowfire It’s as if russia and Ukraine are standing on opposite sides of a gorge, with Russia inching forward, and Ukraine calling out ‘keep moving, keep moving'
