They've been scared Putin will use nukes for a while now and he hasn't, because he knows it would result in NATO getting involved and Russia being completely internationally isolated.

Very intimidating. Besides his obvious combat skills, I'm particularly impressed how alert he is. He always seems to spot something in the skies.
Not sure about that haircut.It is a traditional Bell End haircut.

Great long piece from NYT. It's just unbelievable how badly the Russians planned this invasion. Crazy details.

So, Putin wants to try an invasion of Kyiv again, is he insane, stupid?
His army has a hard time enough as it is, and they couldn't even suceed in that objective last time when they had the upper hand.

His probable strategy is to take out Ukrainian infrastructure as winter sets in, then use that to his advantage through a second northern invasion so he can alleviate Ukrainian pressure on Russian positions in the south and east.
Trouble is, his troops are untrained conscripts and would get obliterated by Ukrainians who are increasingly armed to the gills with sophisticated NATO weapons. This is not the same Ukrainian army Putin managed to surprise with his best troops 10 months ago.
Gay?

Looks like this is the combined number of calls and visits to the website. Most of the calls or hits come from inside Russia, not from soldiers in Ukraine, and the claimed number of appeals is 3 500.

It's been a long time since I had to study the bible but I must have missed the chapter that covers when the use of nuclear weapons is justified.
So have they moved on from the denazification nonsense then?
It turns out this is actually a holy war between orthodox Christians and um orthodox Christians.
The weatherman agrees, so he must be right.
Interesting pattern break: Lukashenko has been in Russia on average once a month to meet Putin. He hasn't been there since September and now they will meet in Minsk tomorrow. Wonder what will happen then...
You can't really predict his actions by trying to rationalize them, so the rule of the thumb is not to rule anything out.
The thing is, he doesn't really have a way out at this point. He probably had it in late spring still but he's not going to survive a full on defeat (which is coming eventually) or a complete surrender (Ukraine will take nothing less). So trying to launch another attack by throwing everything that he has left on it in the hope that the West will be fed up by that war by the end of the winter seems like a very possible strategy. It won't play out like he wants it to and it's going to lead to tens of thousands of additional deaths but it's not like he cares.
He's also not Dagestany (and not Steven Gerrard) so I'd imagine that this is a parody of a clickbait video title of sorts.
