Well, he might as well say that since he got nothing to lose right now. Russians are feeling it, more than half of all countries are against him. What I'm finding interesting is that there's no impartial news in this whole conflict. Either Russia (it seems any Russian leader on that position would act the same way) is somewhat justified on doing it (because of NATO's expansion to the east, etc...) or He's the next Hitler trying to expand the Russian empire and trample any democracy next to him. I only found one video explaining the conflict from both sides of the conflict on an impartial matter. The creator did his job explaining the economic, political and geographical aspects of the conflict. My two cents: The conflict is complex on both sides: - Russia thinks Europe and the US are their enemies. They don't want them as "neighbors" even though they do business together, play sports together, etc... - The right to self-determination of the Ukrainian people is a fact. They need to do what's good for them in all aspects of their lives and with this conflict escalating, they are more than willing to join NATO. Possible Outcomes: 1. Russia "wins": - 2/3 of the world won't be conducting any type of business with the country. - This will push a further polarization of the World, literally creating cold war 2 all over again just that this time we'll have 3 proxy powers: Western, Russia and China. 2. Russia "loses": - Government collapses: I don't even know what would happen with Russia if Putin is deposed. Chaos will be the least of the issues that Russia would be dealing with. - Government "caves" to Ukrainian demands: This will undoubtedly create bitterness from the Russian people to the West in general and will put nations to rethink their postures and form alliances to shield themselves from Western sanctions. 3. Russia agrees to cease fire if Ukraine doesn't enter to NATO: This would imply Russia not giving up Crimea nor the "independent" states formed after the war. 4. Putin goes nuclear: Not much to say... I can't imagine what Ukrainians are going through right now. It's easier to condemn and go to war with Russia but let's just think about it for a moment. The implications of a full scale war between NATO and Russia, when the latter is threating to use its nuclear weapons. I'm not from the US nor Europe and I'm looking a grim future all of us if this conflict keeps escalating. There has to be a diplomatic way for the sake of Ukraine, Russia and the rest of the World.
