Tails Biden and NATO wins Heads Putin Loses, Putin made his bed now he sleeps in it

Looks like whatever intel Ukraine prez was shown that Putin was going to attack has changed his tone a little more than "go barbeque..." to his citizens

Tails Putin doesn't attack Biden/NATO Wins
- NATO can claim they thwarted the attack with warnings and threats

Heads Putin does attack Russian and Putin lose bad eventually
- The Russian message zone has been flooded for the west that Putin is the bad guy and its OK to go near all out to stop him. Russian will EVENTUALLY fall apart as any continuing threat even with a low level Russian retaliation for the attack on Ukraine. The economic and military response isn't something Putin et al can stand long term over a year or two.

Putin made his bed with attack on Crimea and now he's going to sleep in it hard, no one trust that he's got no aim at taking over Ukraine.

Your take?

EDIT: REALLY PENTAGON SPOKESPERSON !??!? CNN chyron now reads "don't believe Putin has made a decision on invasion"

My take is that Putin will push his limits until he hits a brick wall. Chainfire Feb 2022 #1
In a year, he'll be another crazy pauper like Trump. lagomorph777 Feb 2022 #2
In that case, feel free to fast forward to this scene in the movie: Tommy Carcetti Feb 2022 #3

He wants to return to the glorious days of the Soviet Union, with him a Super Stalin. He is seeking immortality, and that makes a man dangerous.
