Jesus Christ is Putin going to grow a pair?
What will it take for him to just say “fuck it”?

@Mr_Mister
An american missile with a pride and/or israeli flag on it has to kill one of this close family members.
@Zeb Putin will probably need an attempt on his life for him to wake up.
@Mr_Mister @Zeb Putin runs a real country in a real world. He is not some kind of armchair interner warrior. Sure this sucks but Russia has been decimsting Ukraine military for over two years now. Things like this are mere mosquito bites. The inevitable defeat of UAF will happen. No reason to make an emotional decision on a whim. The bill will come due on Russias own schedule in a manner of their choosing.
@Justicar @Zeb It’s not that this is some random emotional response by Putin. This is a(nother) red line being crossed by the Ukrainians. Yeah they’ve invaded Russia, which isn’t that bad itself because it is a war after all. But now they’ve confirmed to be using NATO-supplied weapons which is something Russia has be saying is too far. This, the beach bombing incident, the concert terrorist incident, destroying bridges.
And so…..what’s Putin gonna do about it?
@Mr_Mister @Zeb ..is on its way out and no empire went out without a fight. So Russia is navigating the situation very carefully. Next, who gives a fuck what weapons Ukraine is using. UA is in state of war and they can use whatever the fuck they need to defend themselves. They meaning the government, not the people. Russia is only trying to minimize the damage by warning other countries to not supply them but "legally" Russia has no foot to stand on in this case.
