He is right in doing so. The way he does it though has a good chance of leading to terrible misunderstandings including WWIII. Putin may mistake the message meant for the allies as an invitation to do stupid things with unexpected consequences. Unclear messaging/expectations has invited Putin to his last stupidity. Had he known what he knows now, he surely wouldn't have done that. Would be sad if Vlad finds out that invading Norway upon a stupid invitation by the Orange guy finally led to extinction of mankind.
