Putin has made the mistake of allowing a nation that was considered still a strong international power look like just another eastern European 2nd world state. Which would be funny if doing that hadn’t proven that he was nuts and in possession of nuclear weapons. He can’t nuke Ukraine because most of the damage would be in the fallout, most of which would land on Russian territory. Now, the Russians have to hope that he doesn’t decide to do it anyway, and the rest of us have to hope he doesn’t decide to just nuke somebody— possibly somebody on the other side of the planet?

Russian state media host seethes at state of economy: ‘We have no Visa, Mastercard, iPhone, or McDonald’s!’
That’s when Vladimir Avatkov, from the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, suggested Russia could attract the help of other countries to fill the manufacturing void by creating its own NATO-style international security alliance.
Popov, however, quickly shot this down.
“They’re waiting to join us, even though we have no Visa, Mastercard, iPhone, or McDonald’s?” he asked sarcastically.
Elsewhere in Davis’s report, she cites stories in the Russian press about Russian troops “buying supplies and equipment at their own expense,” even as “state media propagandists are crowdfunding the purchase of drones — and everyday citizens are sending toilet paper to the Russian troops.”
