First of all, I spent the afternoon reading the input of various military veterans and military experts. They all think that Putin is no more rational, that he is crazy. When enough people from several countries are saying the same thing, I tend to believe them.
And they are saying that he is crazy enough to drop a nuclear bomb. It is NOT a bluff.
I have given you a link to another writer here on Medium. I think it’s a good idea to read him. The general consensus is that Putin has lost his mind, and if he loses, he will drop a nuclear bomb.
I don’t think we have any choice but to let Russia take Ukraine. Putin is dying. He may live another 5 years. So he takes another two or three countries. It’s better than a fully fledged nuclear war that sends us into nucler winter and kills the rest of us.
