Putin Puts Nuclear Forces on High Alert

Merkel said once that Putin is a leader using 19th-century methods in the 21st century. I don't know how far he can go just to maintain his ego, but this is starting to freak me out.

That's the intended effect.

I like your sense of humor. Time to start preparing for IV World War. You know...the one we will fight with sticks and stones...

Putin does seem like a "If I'm going down I'm taking you all with me" kind of guy, wonder how his health is nowadays.

We can only hope he gets taken out internally before it gets to that.
