Giving too much credit to Putin for thinking, he thought he could get away with invading Ukraine as they totally underestimated the Ukrainian defence, he didn't at this stage care about the West as he thought it would be a short war and he would strongarm Germany to keep having the gas (Which would have been correct). When the West saw that Ukraine was able to defend itself it supplied defensive weapons that made his position worse and he has just made up stories and lies to try and splinter the West, I don't think he believes a word of it, it's just to achieve his aims. It is correct that he has been the leader for too long, like Xi. The United Kingdom trials and tribulations etc. are not going to go nuclear anytime soon, so it's a domestic - Yawn!?!
