I have not seen anywhere but here (via the gateway pundit) that Putin threatened to flatten Kiev, and without sauce. Putin and Lavrov have said, that if the long range missiles fired from Ukraine with NATO satellite guidance strike into Russian territory, that NATO is in a state of war with Russia.
Putin would not flatten Kiev. Kiev is the original Russian capital, and holds cultural significance to him. It would be better to capture and try Zelensky than to flatten him. Why? To show the world and his new team called BRICS.
They had 2 primary objectives in late 2021 that have not changed. 1) we want security assurances including that Ukraine would not be integrated into NATO. 2) no long range missiles in Ukraine. Both were ignored.

They have not bluffed the entire time, yet the fake news says he is bluffing, as is in this 'article'. This isn't poker; it is real life.
