What I don't get.. Why ain't Pootie worried about our "red line?"

[3Hotdogs]

Or maybe we ain't got one?

[Ocelot II]

1. Maybe he is, or maybe he's delusional, or maybe he doesn't care?

[LakeArenal]

2. Putin like trump believes his own press.

Nobody around them cares to tell them they’re wrong.

[Mr.Bill]

3. I think our red line is

if he attacks a NATO country. So far, it's holding.

[Hoyt]

5. +1. And Putin appears to be focused on Eastern Ukraine, right now at least.

[greyl]

4. Putin is now a small, feral-eyed delusional varmint. nt

[Claustrum]

6. Because red line from a rational actor is easy to predict

The problem with predicting crazy actors like Putin is that their red line can shift and often aren’t all that rational. They are constantly trying to test and stretch that red line.

Whereas, a rational actor like US or NATO would worry about the impact of using such force and we try our best not to ever be force to cross that red line.

7. I don't think he's paying attention to anything but his own angry obsessions

He's got generals getting killed every week.
He's got oligarchs "committing murder-suicide" every day.
His economy is crashing.
His army is being proven destructible.

I don't think he cares about any of that, anything outside his fevered brain.

8. He's more worried about his "close freinds"'s red lines

His days are numbered, and getting shorter

[Chainfire]

9. He doesn't believe that NATO has one.

It was a mistake that Hitler made in Poland.
