Well played, Mr. Putin, well played. He just made fools of NATO, Biden, and the lapdog media. Of course they will spin it like "OH MY GOD, BIDEN IS SO STRONG, HE MADE THE RUUUUSHIANS STOP THEIR AGGRESSION!!"... but it was a nothing-burger all along, just like most of us here said it was.
Putin made "the west" react like North Korea reacts when the USA and South Korea do joint military exercises.
"Chairman KimJongUn successfully stopped the imperialist aggressors with his juche haircut in the Korean style."
Putin is ex kgb. He doesn't take risks unless he's got all his intelligence ducks in a row. He'll probably invade Ukraine at some point. But not today. What he DID accomplish is a measurement of the west's reactions, which is probably what he intended on the first place.
I'm sure Joe Biden has them quaking in their boots. :>)
and Mooting a false flag ?
The Russians were laughing so hard they could no longer fight.
