This is pretty much a declaration of war by Putin on anyone who sanctions Russia.
Given sanctions are already in place- Putin is saying war has started.

It looks like Ukraine will fall next week, as the Russians attack from 3 sides.
It is almost certain that Putin will try annex another country- it is just a case of when.
What is the turning point, when the West strikes back.
Putin is hiding behind his nukes. It is the only reason that the West has not already struck.
Some reports are suggesting that Putin is the richest man in the world, and hide his wealth all around the world.
If Putin is defeated, will he start nuclear war from his bunker underground. A bit like Hitler surrounded at the end, just Hiter never had a nuke to negotiate with.
