They're not going to launch nukes just for kicking their ass in Ukraine. That would be the end of the world. Our military is so drastically advanced past theirs, it would be over in a matter of a week.
That strong leadership is currently in the process of destroying his countries economy, at the very least.
Agreed. Putler has managed to alienate a once Russian-friendly Ukrainian population; he has managed to drive them towards the EU and towards NATO (which only a few years ago was very anti-NATO). He has finally woken up Europe to the fix they are in, being dependent on Russian gas. In response they have finally started programs to become free of the need for this gas. His policies will destroy Russia in the long run. They are no longer a member of the family of civilized nations. Occupation of Ukraine a huge economic drain on Russia.
