It's funny how all these "strong men" are so transparent in their behavior and words.

The guy is triggered. The more obscene he is, the worse is his mental state. There is nothing else there. Just an insecure man child who understands that things are falling apart.

He is insecure because Ukraine is giving him such a tough time and he knows that Europe would absolutely kick his teeth in in a fight. As usual all he can do is yell nukes.

Putin had a very insecure childhood, and he learned from a rat, that lashing out violently could scare off an attacker way bigger than yourself.
Unless he is extremely delusional, he is probably very worried ATM, because FSB (KGB) seems to be removing some of his strongest supporters.
So Putin may be nearing the end of the line, and he knows it. So he is lashing out because he is scared, while at the same time trying to appear calm and in control.
Putin is becoming more and more isolated. He is losing popular support, because the population is beginning to feel the costs of the war. He is also losing support from the elite, because the failure of Russia to defend their oil industry, has sown doubt that he can protect Kremlin and Moscow. And they too probably see their positions as being in danger. Finally even the FSB seems to be contemplating a shift in power, and they have moved way more boldly and apparently independent from Putin in later months.

So it seems Putin has enemies all around him, and he is probably paranoid already as a result of his childhood. So even if the threats are only superficial, he is most likely afraid. And many Russians don't believe he can win the war anymore, and even if they believe he can, many don't think it's worth it, because they will take over only ruins, and it will be expensive to rebuild, when the Russian infrastructure is already failing as it is.

So if you think it's exciting to live dangerously, I'm sure Putin has a lot of excitement right now.
Putin has been lucky so far that Moscow is having a mild winter, when the winter gets cold, many Russians will freeze, and many will run out of money, and things may heat up in other ways.

This man-child has an army and he is using it right now.

[–] helvetpuli@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 days ago

Don't you mean "using it up right now"?

This insult was no doubt uttered from some comically large table.

Since it’s the holidays, they say every time he insults and threatens a neighbor, ~~an angel gets its wings~~ another Russian naval asset loses its buoyancy!

Get fucked you crusty old fart. Nobody cares what you have to say

Where's the unedited original? I'm curious how big the real table is

What's with authoritarian world leaders having the tackiest taste in decor?

Like, they manage to make expensive things look cheap and nasty. I know the things in this picture are not, but the whole vibe is falling so far short of what it's going for, it actually goes in the opposite direction. It's nasty.

He feels emboldened now that Cheeto shitstain is turning his back on allies.

Shut up piggy.

Putin has to in order to distract from how desperately weak he is becoming, he has to know the instability coming in internal politics in Russia is impossible to predict like a crack spreading across glass and the only thing that can be said with confidence is that he will be at the heart of the shattering when it happens.

Glass is a great analogy. There can be internal stresses that build up inside glass without any visible change, only for something to exceed a limit and then boom, it shatters!

Guys like that make my atheists ass hope there is a hell.

Why won’t that cunts heart just give out already

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

putin is obssesed with being kept alive through transplantation of organs, hes as obsessed as bryan johnson(the freak who injects his sons blood into his body to stay like a vampire).

And Ukraine is far from the last territory he plans to invade. He's not even remotely interested in cease fire in Ukraine because it's just a stop along the way. He has all the time and resources he needs because he does not give a fuck about logistics or humanity, and apparently is very evasive when it comes to natural or unnatural death.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 18 points 3 days ago (2 children)

If Ukraine is able to push back Russia and win the war, bro, I hope they still go after the EU politicians who did the absolute bare minimum to help Ukraine. Fuck those people. It's as if they want to test Russia at the cost of Ukrainian lives.

[–] Evil_Incarnate@sopuli.xyz 11 points 3 days ago

Let's hope it's a cold cold winter for pootin

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago

orban is probably the weakest link for the EU.

[–] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Mad Vlad throwing a tantrum again. A pity the USA doesn’t see through this farce.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

it would be hard to notice his facial expression paralyzed by botox.

[–] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

He’s sinister. I wouldn’t leave my daughter in the same room with him. Not with Donald either, come to think of it.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago

a bloated piglet from corticosteroids have the audacity to call other people piglets, with the rare exception of trump, orban and "colonel" lukeshanko.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Huh, a certain PoS "leader" in the US recently called a reported "piggy".... and this same person has been approving lethal acts of war against innocents and also calling out declarations of war. I wonder why they sound so similar to me.... πŸ€”
