#Putin's arrogance and nerve are absolutely breathtaking. This dude goes and invades a sovereign nation without any sort of provocation, then he threatens the world with destruction if that nation strikes back. If he's so worried about escalation, he can pack up the murderers, rapists, and child abusers that make up his military, and go the fuck home. It's his actions that are responsible for the current situation.
