Putin ally warns of nuclear dystopia due to United States

2. Putin is displaying an insistence on maintaining control over semantics. It won't work.

Putin is defining "Russia" as including UKR. Therefore, any "foreign intrusion" onto UKR soil is an invasion of Russia. He can arguably be defined as having a serious psychological disorder because he is not accepting the reality of UKR sovereignty. UKR is not his possession. If Putin is humiliated, it is from his own doing. No one asked him to go to war in UKR. No one asked him to declare UKR as part of Russia. Putin is not being backed into a corner-- to cite a rhetorical morsel promoted by some in the MSM. He's backed into a corner if foreign forces are invading Russia. Instead, he went on a murderous adventure. "Backing into a corner" should not be a frame reserved for Putin. He overextended, he's out on a limb by his own design, and the limb is cracking. It's his doing. A nuke isn't going to bolster the strength of the limb.
