the empire continues to believe that its citizens are bozo's with no brains, but the putin sets them straight herein but as you know, there's no one in charge so all thoughts become front page news. there's no reason for putin to take europe unless they all attack russia, which nato just might;

The US-led bloc has been creeping towards Russia, not the other way around

Moscow is not seeking a confrontation with America’s satellites in Eastern Europe, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday. 

Multiple Western officials have tried to drum up support for additional aid to Ukraine by claiming that Moscow will not stop if Kiev is defeated on the battlefield. Putin addressed these claims during a visit to Torzhok air base in Tver Region.

“This is just nonsense,” the Russian president said, noting the disparity in Russian defense spending and the budgets of NATO militaries. “The claims that we are going to attack Europe after Ukraine – it is utter nonsense and intimidation of their own population just to beat the money out of them.”

US “satellites” in Eastern Europe have no reason to be afraid, Putin added. Talk of a potential Russian attack on Poland, the Czech Republic, or the Baltic states is just propaganda by governments that seek to scare their citizens “to extract additional expenses from people, to make them bear this burden on their shoulders.”........more.........
