The ostrich pic might be projection? I dunno.

Seems pretty dumb to not want to know this. But, dumb is what dumb does.

2. Putin has his hands full going toe to toe with Ukraine.

His military is depleted. What makes him worrisome is his nuclear arsenal.
He could go off the deep end and destroy the planet with MAD.

of Ukraine this guy said the Russians had everything in place to take Kyiv in three days.

At my house we call him Mr. Doom & Gloom. He was also a big supporter of the failed War on Drugs back in the day. I honestly don't know why they let him on MSNBC at times.

- Decades of buying off the entire GOP and many federal employees.
- Relentless propaganda via Fox News spreading chaos, hatred, division.
- Paying off the NRA to get guns in the hands of all Americans.

The list goes on and on.

and no match for US/NATO forces. Nukes must be what this boosting is counting on but from reports that are out on their maintenance and upkeep of their forces in general, why would it be any different with their nukes?

Higher-ups are suspected to have solf on supplies an equipment...for instance, troops have had to scrounge/steal food as field rations are ten-years-old and hardly edible. Ammo is also in short supply as witnessed by the complaints from the Wagner group.
