Putin has several times threatened to use nukes. Talk coming from his minions is cheap.
The far right propaganda in russia is extremely calculated. It’s meant to stir up a fervor for war among the people, and also to be a way of making Putin seem like a moderate. When “government officials” are screaming for nukes and putin comes in and says, “No we can’t do that it would end the world… we should just keep bombing Ukraine,” he looks like a reasonable president and war looks like the reasonable thing to do.
It’s not orchestrated, but it might as well be. Look at what we’ve got going now with Bari Weiss, and then give the government 20 more years to perfect it and that’s where russia is at.
Clips like this aren’t really a good indication of how the public feels about the event; it’s more useful for seeing how the Kremlin is trying to gain from it.
If Trump wants to really send a message to the world that no one is safe from his wrath, he should send Delta force into Russia and extract this dude, and put him on trial for show charges. Like inciting a terrorist attack against America in order to start a war.
It’s a nobody Putin doesn’t care about enough to strike the US.
Seems like as good as time as any to repost my favorite video about the Russian Navy

Launching million dollar missiles without warheads while the assault units are on horses…
This is Voronezh, russia. Ukraine is claiming they veered off course due to EW systems. Seems extremely unlikely.

I think it was this story (no idea how reputable that source is): https://medium.com/the-dock-on-the-bay/ukraine-ran-sting-on-u-s-intel-to-catch-russia-leaks-5ffb3957c9a9
I’d be more shocked if it came out Witkoff wasn’t giving all the intel to Putin.

russia’s elite drone unit, Rubikon, claims in January only 7.7% of targets were personnel.
I wonder if that is just a classification thing, “personnel” is ticked when there isn’t anything else around like a dugout or light vehicle and it’s just troops in the open or something?
Rubicon is russia’s elite drone unit and they’re tasked with collapsing Ukraine’s logistics. The local drone teams would probably keep attacking Ukrainian personnel while Rubicon tried to shape the area.
I’m guessing that the classification is accurate.
