This is pattern-matching taking the place of reasoning. Even if you don't, I promise you Putin understands the difference between attacking a plant in Ukraine

Even if you don't, I promise you Putin understands the difference between attacking a plant in Ukraine and attacking one in Germany.
- Retric 5y agoAssuming war will never happen is at best wishful thinking. At the point where people are attacking something in Germany that line becomes meaningless.
- _jal 5y agoYou seem to be replying to something I didn't say. > At the point where people are attacking something in Germany that line becomes meaningless. Exactly my point. I'm not saying desperation and ego won't drive him (along with everyone else) into the abyss, I'm saying he's savvy enough to know that right now, that line is protecting him.
