OT Mark my words putin

[South Coast Miller]

Get your you’re old army fatigues out …..you’re posting propaganda. There’s no way those close to him would allow any button to be pressed.

I wouldn't be so sure; some of those closest to him are even more hawkish than he is.

He has threatened to use tactical, battlefield nuclear weapons, but also has a history of using chemical weapons in other spheres. Don't assume that he operates like any other normal human being.

Given the childish analogy, are you suggesting that there are no parallels to be drawn or lessons to be learned on both sides from that conflict?

Haven't there been four high profile people fall out of windows of late? A bad time to be stood near an open window in Russia me thinks.
