I'll do it. I really will this time. Sure I said all those other times that I'll probably do it and then didn't do it but this time I mean it.
Russia is Paper Tiger
Why does a gas station need nukes? A couple hand-guns is all you'd need to protect Russia.
Putin keeps thinking that he's still going to rule the world 😅😅
He still needs to respond to Ukraine's last massive attack.
In Europe, out of stupidity and arrogance, they think that Russia will calmly observe how military production facilities are being created in European countries that work entirely in the interests of Ukraine and are actually the Ukrainian rear . The Europeans think that they are untouchable and Russia will never use nuclear weapons on the territory of their countries. They are deeply and cruelly mistaken.
Buckle up Europe
Ukraine better give up.
Blah blah blah, nobody cares. Putin is desperate 😂
I ( Putin ) really really really mean it this time Guy's ( Nato) If I don't get my way like right now for the 100th time. I'm really going to use my un-tested old cold war nukes & use my scary Red Flag 🚩tactic 😮

Putin’s probably happy now that at least one newspaper, DW, mentioned his show.
Great plan Putin. Radiate another patch of ground on your border. Even better when you need that ground for agriculture.
