Not worried at all and I'm from an ex-soviet-occupied country. Why y'all so worried about putin? He's useless. Couldn't take Ukraine in 3 years, his so called 'military power' is hopeless and laughable. His biggest strength is the sheer numbers of his own he doesn't give a fuck about and can throw in a grinder, but even these are running out. Furthermore, the war in Ukraine will end, and all the psycho rapists, torturers, depraved murderers will come back to mother russia - that will be fun for them. Once they won't be able to adjust to a civilian life and start slaughtering their own. Which is already happening and russia isn't telling the world.
I'm from a country who upped their military game very significantly in the past decade, we have further alliances with our neighbours in the same position and we're also in Nato. Let him come if he's stupid, he'll be crushed. Just like stalin was humiliated in Finland back in the day. With all do respect, we're not Ukraine, who were very military disadvantaged country with a host of internal problems pre-war.
Don't underestimate the sheer naked hatred we have for them. Just like Ukrainians do. Brits won't undertstand, you were never occupied, that's why I read all the 'I'd better see my kids grow up and live under putin than go to war' or the glib 'it can't be much worse than the current shitshow'. It CAN. Oh, how it can, you won't even believe. I'd rather see myself and my kids dead that live under those fuckers again. And most of my countrymen agree with me.
As for the orange imbecile, he might prove useful in a way. By trying to dismantle EU, he brought all the countries closer than they were ever before, kicked their asses into gear and maybe we, collectively, won't be so reliant on US 'help' anymore. America always been, is and will always be untrustworthy, with their mercenary 'help'. An aliance with them isn't worth the paper it's written on, they'll throw you to the dogs as soon as the money's right. See Ukraine and Budapest memorandum.
What will the unholy trinity of orangeman, vance and musk do to Americans? Nothing good. Nothing good at all. But they brought this on themselves voluntarily, so can now face the music.
As for nuclear end, I just don't believe it will ever happen. It's my personal opinion. However much I loathe the russkies and don't consider them human, they still want to live, after all.
I just wish that the west would open up their eyes once and for all with their 'oh poor ordinary russians, they're good harmless folk, it's just putin who is evil' bullshit. They're not. The biggest majority of them are cruel, dark, propaganda rinsed-brained barbarians with naked asses and vast imperial ambitions, harking back to the glorious mother russia days. Their whole history since the beginning of times is war, rape and pillage and they love their Tzar to be heavy handed with them, not kind. They even have a saying 'if he beats you, it means he loves you' (Бьёт значит любит). They activelly support putin, and there are many who think he should pound Ukraine more, not less.
We were occupied by them for almost a hundred years, first by their tzar, then by soviets and forced to live with them side by side. We know firsthand what 'harmless nice folk' they are.
Better dead than red always.
