Why would he respond now when his entire history as a leader of the Russian nation is a long list of non-retaliation after another?
I quit being emotionally involved in Russia's success for this reason. It is too taxing for your psyche to always be at the receiving end. To be the one who is always taking the punches (and kicks under the belt). To be the one who is always the one humiliated.
Now I am just an observer. It took a few years to shed off the emotional side but I guess I am fine now. Tver explosion seems to have been a big military loss for Russia but it did nothing for me. Not hate, not anger. Just a mild disappointment.

Over the horizon radars? Those were back up in days. Nordstream? That actually hurts the Eurotrash far more than it helps.
Kerch Bridge, various terror attacks? Sad, but so what. Invasion of Kursk that got cleaned out? PR stunt. Ultimately these actions showed an amateurish stupidity. Actually hitting large munitions dumps and major military installations? That shows a competence.
Evil stupid can actually be entertaining. Evil competent or evil smart? That would be a terrible development

ucmvulcan wrote:In regards to Crocus, civilian dead in war is lamentable but again a US destruction of state dept/Pentagram/CIA trained and operated terror cell is not direct involvement. Nor does it impact the course of the war. However, when you let people who mean to do you harm launch attacks from their territories when they say they are not directly involved without reprisal then you pave the way for escalation. Civilians in Finland and the Baltic banana republics should not be targeted, but their air force bases and munitions dumps better be, but after and only after you meet with the press and have your ambassadors and backdoor channels talking so that they know that article v does not apply.

Crocus hall massacre was also arranged by Ukraine. What was Russia's reaction to that? A complete non-retaliation. Hundreds of innocent civilians were massacred.
In order to garner respect you have to defend itself. Putin should have learned this in schoolyard and streets of Leningrad.
I cannot understand what he thinks he can win by letting Russia to be humiliated.

The Russian capacity for endurance borders on the superhuman. That's why they will win.
You're a German. When you lose you shoot yourself in the head.

I know history. Serbian too. When the going gets tough you offer up your boys to the Ottomans for use as catamites or janissaries to oppress their brothers and fathers with.caveat emptor wrote:
Let me paraphrase Serbian proverb: It is easy to hit thorns with someone else's dick.
That sums up your message pretty well.

They're called whores. Going to lie and tell me you don't have those either?caveat emptor wrote:
You offer your woman today, in 2024, to every Tom, Dick or Larry, and any other sexual deviant on this planet, to be used as cum dumps. Voluntarily, without need for going to get tough.
But, i don't hold it against you. It is, what it is.
