Seems like Putin is threatening nuclear war and ICBM launches against Ukraine, the EU and NATO...

The guy sounds quite insane if you ask me...Russians with common sense (if any) need to overthrow or remove this person in any way possible....

Mother Russia will be affected too. Then shithole musk republicans won't be clambering for Greenland neither.

That said, Putin is a madman and upset that Ukraine is still strong. What madmen/madwomen have in common, death and destruction. Look at what madman shithole is doing to the USA.

Which is why this threat is likely empty, like all of his previous threats. I'm guessing things are going even more poorly for him than is being let on. It reminds me of Trump and his middle-of-the-night rage postings on Truth Sinkhole when things don't go his way. It's the same air of panic.

His propaganda machine and techniques have been working there for many many years.

Most Russians support his “special military operation in Ukraine to destroy the Nazis that have overrun their brethren”. 🙄
