Putin constantly mentioning nukes doesn't really give us an out to negotiate down our missile shield. And now we are upping it.

Lots of accidental escalation potential every day.
Oh, no, I agree. I think it was a smart move to re-schedule the Minuteman II ICBM test launch.

Pretty soon he's going to need to stop the sanctions and I anticipate his negotiating posture to change to threatening nuclear reprisals to nations supplying Ukraine or implementing sanctions soon. Like next week.

Putin is classic authoritarian come to power after corruption. Their incomes went up, drunk Boris replaced by a strong man, Russia "rising from it's knees" from the wests humiliation, etc.
I don't think they are stupid. I think they are doing a different calculus. They don't give a shit that Putin isn't corrupt and authoritarian. He represents progress over their previous lives.

They also don’t want to speak out publicly if they actually hate him, it doesn’t turn out well.

You're really not giving America enough credit here.

Yeah. They'll freeze their bank accounts and hold them indefinitely without bail. Oh, wait. That's Canada.

I read a bunch about this. Russia state says 85% popularity for Putin. Independent polling says 65-70%. No matter what, Russians like the guy if only because he put a chicken in the pots and cars in the garages

They crave a strong leader that makes everyone afraid of Russia, they have a bit of a complex in that regard. But then they also don’t understand why everyone hates Russia. It all stems from their inferiority complex in regards to western Europe and their own conflict with their national identity as the backwoods part of a former Viking-ruled kingdom.

they will never change either.
