they gotta have a card up their sleeves to mess with Russia like that. I swear, I never knew anything about this stuff until recent readings on this site!
I thought that pic of their leader was shopped it looks so ridiculous, lol!
They have NATO up their sleeve, however NATO is not in the mood and WON'T fight Russia, they are scared shitless, we saw that during the height of the Ukrainian / Crimea fiasco.
Russia has been testing airspaces and radars for a few years now of many countries, they have nuclear armed submarines all over the place, they are fully ready.
Putin knows his people, unlike Americans when something bad happens the support for the president goes up regardless, in Russia when something bad happens that is humiliating they expect their President to reply or they will hang him, remember, way tougher and brutal Russia leaders were ousted, Russians are not little weak candle light vigil emotional ass fucking craving bearded crack heads.
They are humiliated from the sanctions (their economy now sucks, oil tanked, Their currency tanked), they got humiliated from the attack on the passenger plane and now their military is being shot out of the sky.
Russian history shows over and over again how quick people there can turn. When they get angry they do not fear anything, 10 million Russians will storm the kremlin, they do not care, they Vodka up and go at it.
This is serious, this is not a joke, either Putin responds or Russia gets a new leader that will.
Putin is not a push over or so he portrays. He already has amassed a ton of equipment right in Turkeys backyard.
