2 Russian gas pipelines sabotaged by CIA? :-)

The fun part is, that Russia could have gone on with this indefinitely. Demanding this or that, getting a seat on the table for this or that, getting some favorable business deals for this and that, etc. etc.

But Putin blew it. Nobody wants to do business with Russia, nobody wants Putin at the table, nobody wants to make a deal, nobody cares what Russia demands anymore. Russia is considered weaker than ever. All Russia could do, is nuke the planet and lose anyway. That's like a school bully who is too weak to even touch you, unable to do anything at all, except for jumping off a cliff and taking you with him. That may be enough to be a psychopath, but not enough to be a bully.

Russia already lost so much, and they don't even know it yet. In their own arrogance, they don't see what's coming. All that's left for Russia is India and China, but THEY are the bullies now, because Russia has not choice.

Such a shame, such a rich culture all gone down the drain.

Perhaps I can make Israelis an exception, but at what price? And the Baltic sea is surrounded by NATO countries, who would take such risk getting caught?

So what if they're caught. It's not like they'd admit to anything or even where they're from. As far as I know, specialised units like this often have a suicide pill with them for such occasions.

what nationality? so what they have suicide pill, their government will be crucified and there would be revenge killings.

I'm sure Tucker Carlson knows a lot of things. But his fans from the Maga cult don't.

Carlson is an idiot, peddle anything for advertising money.

So are you, full of shit. Ignored.

Russia.
Which government, how do you know where they're from? NATO countries won't be doing any revenge killings, come on now. It also doesn't matter at all if they're "crucified".

You have the same problem as Russia. You have no point at all, and I doubt anyone is taking you serious.

When all else fails, @earth_imperator ignores all arguments and claims it's propaganda. I share the sentiments that Russia is now exactly like a bully, picked a fight, lost and now is acting out and threatening everyone who isn't submissive towards his bullying.

Russia is still acting like the Soviet Union is around and it's the second most powerful entity in the world. But the world has changed and Putin's grudge starting from his KGB time in East Germany is distant history. A large portion of Russians do live in the past though, they still rant and rave about WWII like it was just a few years ago.

Agree, but well, Russia seems to be back in Soviet Union and even WWII times for real, considering that the weapons and material for their mobilization are at least 50 years old, some even looks like it's from a WWI museum. And if Putin tries to use nukes, Russia will even quickly be back in the Middle Ages and must switch to throwing stones for their army, because the whole world would completely abandon and isolate Russia for decades to come.

You are just a dumb propaganda idiot.
Proof: if Russia gets nuked, then Europe and North America will be nuked as well.
MAD, isn't it?...

MAD = Mutually Assured Destruction
"
Mutual assured destruction (MAD) is a doctrine of military strategyand national security policy which posits that a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by an attacker on a nuclear-armed defender with second-strike capabilities would cause the complete annihilation of both the attacker and the defender.[1] It is based on the theory of rational deterrence, which holds that the threat of using strong weapons against the enemy prevents the enemy's use of those same weapons. The strategy is a form of Nash equilibrium in which, once armed, neither side has any incentive to initiate a conflict or to disarm.

In the meantime, a new poll shows that the approval rating in Germany to stand with Ukraine is even raising. Looks like another of Putin's strategies is not going according to plan.

russians seem to be thinking about the past exclusively

because their present is nothing but sad

and so was their future - until ...

and now - they don't have any future at all
