I must have missed #45 invading Canada and bombing Ontario to rubble. Putins actions are far beyond mean tweets, insisting on highlighting the geographic origin of the pandemic and ordering fast food for White House guests.

Maybe they are doing this to incite NATO and rationalize further war, use nuclear weapons, kill power to much of Ukraine for an easier invasion. There are a lot of reasons to do this even if it's absolutely reckless.
Maybe it's deliberate but how in the world is that sane strategy??? Radiation at that magnitude will drift over the entire earth. And Russia is its first stop? Putin may be in a bunker right now but how long can that last?

We really shouldn't assume all assholes are mentally ill. It's hard to believe, but there really are people who don't care about anyone other than themselves and their interests, and will do whatever to safeguard them.
Despite the evidence that Putin is crazier now than he was 2 years ago?
DP. Putin is not crazy, he is RUTHLESS. He is not afraid of a NATO expansion, he wants Ukraine's territory and vast natural resources. He will step up the brutality in Ukraine, this week is just the prelude.
They can’t take Ukraine. Being a ruthless asshole doesn’t overcome the military and strategic dysfunctions.
If they can't take Ukraine I could see them just nuking it.
I thought the wind blew towards Russia. 🤔

Narcissism is a mental illness…
<Shrug> I don't care whether he is mentally ill or not. He needs to be gone.
Well since the Zaporizhzhia nuclear reactor is now on fire he may just have sealed his fate along with everyone else's.
Think. You can't hide from radiation.
If you live in the surrounding area, sure. But I don't see how that will affect us here.
Strain on resources, need for major emergency immigration, Europe will be in crisis. This is the largest nuclear plant in Europe. This is bad for everyone one way or another if it melts down.
