This is truly insane stuff. I really hope Putin and his closest advisors/cronies don't buy into this kind of rhetoric.

1. Laying the ground work

Preparing the public for the unthinkable.

2. Russian citizens can figure out this is not a little special operation by now

I don't think nuclear weapons, tactical or strategic will be used, but I hesitate to predict anything.

3. Those people were told to say that

4. Yes, absolutely insane. They're going on like they're the only ones with nukes.

And like it's no big deal for them to make a nuclear strike. They must've forgotten the phrase "mutually assured destruction."

[orwell]

5. Yes Komrade...

...a very "special nuclear operation"...

[BeyondGeography]

6. Alternatively, they sound panicky

Like their whole world could be falling apart.

9. +1, it is... other than the south and the east of UKR Rus Army is getting its ass kicked. There ...

... won't be a Putrid admin in RU unless Putrid starts murdering everything moving like Stalin did.

This is a petulant response to "the west" defeating the RA to minimum a standstill in the north and the southern Rus Army troops in the south having to go full on terrorist to do anything in the south even with 1000 confirmed Chechen support.

Can anyone imagine if Putrid is pushed out of UKR with no official NATO troops on the ground ?!

There wont be a Russia military for at minimum a generation of humans, they'll be another North Korea; a despot nation with nuclear weapons and a military with no teeth.

Shit, NK might have a better military ... I doubt it

7. I find it interesting that they are talking about the Baltic states and

establishing a land bridge to Kaliningrad. I have saying for weeks that Putin's Next target (If he can ever get the Ukrainians to submit) would be the Baltic states.

8. It take time to get used to the idea.

You have to get people to get their minds right. "Sure, we're all going to get broiled, but it's all for Putin, so it's OK."

10. Dropping Scare Cards.

Russia has nothing to gain from such a scenario, and they know it.
