The bluff of the largest country in the world  and holding joint equal amounts of nuclear weapons   you want to call their bluff !!  no wonder they named it MAD.

 

Big badass Russia has nukes as a deterrent to keep the West from attacking Russia.  Yet Russia claims Ukraine is the key to their security.    Russian propaganda is idiotic.

Russian propaganda is actually rather smart. It's the people who believe it who are idiotic, in particular those who are not in Russia and are not affected by Russian censorship! 🤣
