Well, and debating his physical health. People who couldn't find Ukraine on a map last week are now yammering on incessantly about sunflowers. We persist in this idea of "a button" that can be "pressed." There is no button. There's a bunch of nukes, and there are a bunch of people with the training and control to turn them from implements of policy to weapons of Armageddon. I find it tiresome that the same people proudly posting Spetznaz raiding grocery stores because their supply lines are cut are the ones presuming as gospel truth that Putin can pick up a phone and end the world.
