Putin sets partial military mobilization, won’t ‘bluff’ on nukes

Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a partial mobilization of reservists in Russia, in a measure that appeared to be an admission that Moscow’s war against Ukraine isn't going according to plan after nearly seven months of fighting and amid recent battlefield losses for the Kremlin's forces.

The Russian leader, in a televised address to the nation aired on Wednesday morning, also warned the West that he isn't bluffing over using all the means at his disposal to protect Russia's territory, in what appeared to be a veiled reference to Russia’s nuclear capability. Putin has previously warned the West not to back Russia against the wall and has rebuked NATO countries for supplying weapons to help Ukraine.

The total number of reservists could be as high as 300,000, officials said.

So you lied for views. You said nuke. "won't 'bluff' on nukes" was never said.

Does he believe that if he uses nucs he will come out of the other side unharmed? There's a reason they call it mutually assured destruction. Neither side wins...

By all means, he can PROTECT their country. But, he’s the ONE who did “Special Military Operation” which now he calls something else outside of Russia

Somewhere in Russia a group of senior officials are having an informal conversation about the future of Russia and Putin's name doesn't factor into the conversation.
Somewhere in the Russia, someone is doing math on the back of an envelope, calculating how many would be on his side and how many won't. He will throw that envelope into the fire, but the numbers will stay in his head.
Somewhere in Russia, a General is wondering if the road to the Kremlin is shorter than the road to the Donbas.
