Yea, two separate officials close to Putin running to the press at the same time with the same story? This isn’t a warning its a coordinated threat, and it’s not the first time they’ve tried this: let us win or else; don’t push too hard or well really start fighting; don’t make Putin look stupid, you wouldn’t like Putin when he looks stupid.
Bullet to his head.
Escalate how lol.
attack NATO so he can say he did not loose from Ukraine (he needs a way out saving his face)
Fair enough actually that’s a pretty realistic possibility. It would be truly hilarious though if he attacked a NATO state and they just didn’t bother to invoke article V because of the obvious non threat of Russia and just completely called the bluff on whatever dumbass “operation” Putin cooks up.
I can’t see them having the capacity to commit to opening a second front in this war over the long term. Whatever they do to NATO will be a 1 off event designed to provoke a reaponse

Plausible we will get that laugh. By my guess is NATO will be afraid to escalate and just say “vlad, please don’t do that. It’s unkind and a bit hostile.” And then block the savings account of ivan from Saskylach.
When you’ve got nothing to print, but a deadline to hit, you go with the classics
Tankies: “Waaaah Europe deserves to suffer! My revenge fantasy needs to play out!”
Can you point me to the pro-Russia tankies I keep hearing about? All the tankies I know are pro-China, and they’re never pro-Russia, but pro-Soviet. Two very different things, for the last 30 years.
I see them sometimes laughing at how China is using Russia as a puppet, but that’s not exactly pro-Russia, is it?
Also, anti-NATO is not pro-Russia.
It is a law of nature that if something cannot go on, it will stop.
