Gamed out the various scenarios and our possible reactions.

From what I am hearing from Biden and retired generals on this issue,
I don't think it sounds good for Putin if he steps over a nuclear line.

I believe Biden is beyond fed up with Putin over the murder of innocent women and children.
The rape and torture of civilians. Bombing Ukraine back to the Stone Age.

I am of the opinion that Putin will have a very bad day if he keeps pushing Biden.

Of course Putin will try to "save face" since he has painted himself I to a corner. His favorite childhood memory is of a time as a boy he actually cor even a real rat. Instead of the rat being afraid he sneered back at Putin, ready to attack him. Putin admires the rat.


His swan song will be serious and concerning. Will he attack Western Ukrainian allies with nukes? Will he be murdered by his own generals? Does he want to set up his own murder (Kurtz's Apocalypse Now)? Will he "fall" from a window, will he jump, will he be pushed? Who will he set up to take the blame?
