Putin is nothing short of a deranged megalomaniac. Even worse, he is a deranged megalomaniac with nuclear weapons and seems, by putting the nuclear arsenal on special alert, quite prepared to use them.

He says he has submarines deployed around the world with 500 nuclear warheads, enough to destroy all opponents.

He is the most dangerous man in the world. He stands there, hands on hips, and dares the rest of the world to defy him. He needs to be stopped and stopped now. It’s no use tapping him on the wrist and calling him a naughty boy. Russia needs to be completely ostracised. All banks should be blocked from SWIFT, and all bank accounts not just suspended but stripped of their assets.

I know this is brutal and most of Russia do not want this war but where is he going to stop? My thoughts are that Poland will be next and then the rest of the old USSR. One of the tanks was seen to be flying the hammer and sickle flag. Doesn’t that say something?
