European intelligence suggests that Russia may launch an attack on Europe during the winter of 2024-2025 if the United States finds itself "without a leader" following the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the German tabloid Bild reported on Dec. 23, citing an anonymous European intelligence source.

To Putin, life of people is nothing. Just throw a million as cannon fodders, and he will be laughing as long as his men don't shoot nukes at this point.

You are mostly right, but why won't he though? Why didn't he nuke Harkov, or Kiyv? There's still something he or his henchmen care about, something setting their limits. And I hope EU intelligence knows about it to rationally plan their response scenarios.

He knows that NATO won't be ok with them launching nukes...

Also it's Kharkiv, not Harkov(preferable pronunciation)

He also knew it wouldn't be ok with an open invasion. He knew it wouldn't with Crimea and FSB's Strelkov in DNR. In Georgia in 2008. In Chechnya. But he gambled.

And for so long no one cared besides directly endangered countries - like it changed your mil in 2014-2022 period from soviet-like pathetic scenes we saw in Donetsk videos (thanks to soviet corruption) to a reliable NATO-trained corps you operate now in a hurry. It's only after the fact something is happening. And that's not enough.

This dying piece of shit can think he can do anything, even nukes, if he knows the response would be slow and unmeaningful, or that he's dying anyway. He needs something to fear in order to care. And now all we know is that he launched everything but nukes, meddled in Ukraine, EU and US policies, but is yet to push the red button. Haha, kay. Why countries having military spending more than that shithole's gdp even enable that? He needed to have a fucking knife pointed onto his bowels way before everything I mentioned ever happened.

But yet, there we are. And as a paranoidal, not generally well-in-mind after all this madness person, I fear this fuckhead can bomb Kiyv after an obligatory erasion of Voronezh. Until there's something to hurt him back. And I'm afraid there're still not enough knifes behind him to really hope he wouldn't make a parting gift. There's a lack of a guarantee he wouldn't do that. There should be one. There should've been one before it all happened.


Kharkiv it is. Thanks for reminding me. I'm still a little bit habituated by soviet-russian namings ):
