What does it mean "great again"? We are an ordinary country where tangerines are sold all year round, and not like in the great USSR - only during the New Year holidays.
Of course, he is selling fear. Look: according to the Russian Constitution, he was obliged to use nuclear weapons during the invasion of a foreign army in the Kursk region. But he called the Ukrainian Armed Forces - gangs and simply transferred the conventional war to his territory, because he knows that nuclear weapons can only be used once, but fear can be used much more often.
That is why the Americans and Europeans do not give permission to use their missile weapons at a range of 300 km. across Russian territory.
Personally, my opinion: The new package, where 200 M113 and Bradley X-number - is better than such permission.
