Just shows how desperate they are.
Russian doesn't want the Ukraine and wont invade to seize it.
If Kiev does something stupid then they will put a stop to that though.

They have been helping terrorists for some time now...
Sometimes on both sides of a conflict when they change sides... when the Soviets were in Afghanistan they helped the Northern Alliance, but after the Soviets left and the NA ended up fighting the Taliban, the NA became the enemy, but then of course the Taliban helped OBL and got banished to the naughty step... and everyone who was fighting the Taliban got help...
Russia is dumping the OSCE.
About time.

They think that Russia today is much weaker than the USSR. A lot of this comes from the ludicrous nominal GDP comparisons wrote:

The USSR had the advantage that its MIC had much greater production capacity.

You can compare the production of freight cars in Russia now and in the USSR at its peak. And freight cars are the basis of logistics. And logistics is what wins wars.

I have posted on this topic before. The rolling stock production is driven by replacement of worn out inventory and also increased
demand driven by expansion of trade flows from Russia and through Russia.

That fact that he thinks the west could crush Putin is amusing... they have been trying that for 20 years.
The fact that he thinks he understands Putin is amusing too, but the fact that he wants to eliminate the head of state of another country that was legally elected and largely supported by the home population reveals him to be evil himself and anti democracy.
How would he feel about foreign politicians who openly talked about eliminating US presidents and political officials... he would go apeshit...
But the arrogance of US politicians who think they can decide who is in charge of other countries is amusing and a warning to all countries... because they openly replace leaders of weaker countries all the time... no respect for democracy or international law...

Some Western media outlets did not even mention her statement as a reason for Putin's nuke alert. Instead they claim that Putin made his decision only because of sanctions or out of desperation. However, it is the corporate media that is showing its desperation, when it is not even capable to quote on Putin correctly.
