Take up a career as a song-and-dance man. Pull out his own teeth on a live stream. Of course, the big questions are "Why?" and "Just how out of touch with reality might he be?"


Admittedly, Ukraine has had a LOT of help, but no NATO countries have sent actual combatants, and they seem to be giving "the world's second-largest and most powerful military" more than was ever thought possible. One has to wonder how far Russia would get against NATO, even without the US involved. With the US involved, his options would be

"I want an all-out nuclear war, which I will gladly start if NATO opposes me directly. If Russia can't survive, then no-one can."

"I won't employ the nuclear option, but I really would like to see Russia ground into powder."
