Hi fdr, nice to see the voice of reason and diplomacy again.
Seriously, surely there are people near him (or at least close to the other end of his 'conference table') who can see that he is delusional, and they are going to join him when it all falls apart.
For someone who has being threatening anyone supporting Ukraine with extreme consequences since February, to now accuse others of nuclear blackmail is so bat**** crazy even his best friends must have noticed.
Meanwhile, the Reporting from Ukraine youtube channel
https://youtube.com/c/ReportingfromUkraine provides a sober daily (24 hours behind) assessment of reality on the ground (including aviation, I hope the above isn't too political for the Mil thread.).
