New nuclear threats raise risk from a 'cornered Putin': Experts

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Even before Russian troops invaded Ukraine, U.S. officials warned global peace would be endangered if Russian President Vladimir Putin were allowed to brazenly seize another sovereign country.

At the same time, analysts have warned that if he faced no option but defeat in that bid, the outcome could prove to be even more dangerous -- a so-called "cornered Putin."

Ukrainian successes on the battlefield have not only pushed Russian troops back but now have pushed Putin further into a corner -- forcing him to take a series of dramatic steps to reinvigorate his brutal campaign: a sweeping military draft, labeled as a "partial mobilization," to surge thousands of soldiers to the fight, and orchestrating what the West has called "sham" referenda in occupied territories in Ukraine -- intended to pave the way for them to be "annexed" -- considered, in Putin's view, to be part of Russia.

Most alarming, in a rare televised address, Putin also issued a new round of thinly veiled nuclear threats -- warning that Russia will use "all available means" to protect what he now portrays as Russian people and territory.

1. I am getting a bit suspicious about the frequency of the "cornered Putin" narratives in MSM lately.

It's as if "cornered" Putin himself has something to do with it. If nothing else, it sure takes the focus off the "disgraced Putin" and "incompetent Putin", not to mention the "war criminal Putin" narratives.
