I don't see him being dumb enough to launch something against USA/NATO

things clearly aint goin easily as he planned and the moment he feels desperate to make himself feel like his time hasn't been wasted, thousands of innocent people are gonna die in ukraine.
In a warning to the West, Putin says Russian tactical nukes are being put in Belarus to stop a 'strategic defeat'-Putin made a fresh set of nuclear threats this week after confirming Russian warheads were moved to Belarus.
-The Russian president said the escalatory step was meant to serve as a warning to the West.
- US and Western intelligence officials, however, were quick to brush off Putin's most recent threats.
Vladimir Putin issued a weighty warning to the West this week as he announced a first tranche of Russian tactical nuclear weapons has been stationed in neighboring Belarus as a stop-gap against a possible "strategic defeat" in Ukraine.
At an economic forum in St. Petersburg on Friday, Putin said the warheads would only be used if Russia's territory was threatened, echoing the same empty threats the Russian president has frequently espoused since the war began in February 2022.
US and Western officials quickly brushed off Putin's most recent batch of nuclear threats. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday there are no indications that Russia is preparing to actually use a nuclear weapon and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that while the organization has seen "some preparations" from Russia, there have been no noted changes in "Russia's nuclear posture."
