I hope this will not age like milk since Putin is currently still building up troops near Ukraine.

I think Putin hoped that NATO countries are fractured, but we managed to unite at the first sign of danger. He is making NATO stronger than ever.

He can still kill thousands of Ukrainian people, continue to hold the world at nuclear gunpoint and keep clogging the internet with disinformation, but it's the Russian people who end up worst for it. And that's a shame, they deserve much better than Putin and his criminal, incompetent, illiterate, superstitious oligarchs.
