Yes, critical media reports from NATO probably have Putin cowering in the back of the horse barn.
Or is he in the planning room polishing up his new strategy to roll NATO into the Baltic?
Intriguing.
Must really suck to be a Nazi in Kiev these days...
For the Ukraine perspective:

If NATO wanted to do it up right I’m sure there are photographs of May Day Parades, the Holodomar Genocide and attacks on Hungary and Poland.
Putin is so Macho ,he could jump threw a wood chipper and never touch a blade , LOL
Russians don’t stop and think, they stop and reload.
What do the European leaders hope to accomplish by showing satellite photos of Russian troops amassing on the Ukrainian border?
Maybe the same thing the Kim Jung family of North Korean dictators hoped to accomplish over several decades by showing their citizens photos of American troops on North Korea’s border — namely, instilling fear and loathing of Americans in them along with more love for their embattled fatherland so that they would work harder at their slave labor camps.
But what will the European people do if the Russian-troop photos make them feel more anti-Russian and more patriotic towards Europe? Will the French agree to work longer hours by adopting a 36-hour work week? Maybe they’ll even agree to take only three weeks’ vacation in August instead of the usual entire month. Will the newly inspired citizens of Spain agree to eliminate their daily siestas?
What if Vladimir Putin decides to invade Ukraine during the next big European soccer tournament, in order to be sure that no one will pay any attention to what he’s doing?
The Russians in eastern Ukraine aren’t going to take any crap from the Right Sector fascists in Kiev. You all can bellyache all you want.
Can NATO stop Russia? No.
Will Russia intervene? Short of an extreme situation, no. Russia has plenty of non-military leverage on hand.
Is Putin bluffing? No.
If Russia has deployed forces what is the purpose? Psychological warfare.
Russia would probably in the current crisis prefer to use a scalpel rather than a sledgehammer.
NATO doesn’t deter Russia at all. Anshel Pfeffer is an idiot.
LOL! Oops. The Russkies are sucking. They used to be much better at propaganda. Maybe they need to unearth a few Stalin and Lenin statues, clean them up and put them up for inspiration.
Instead, NATO is trying to keep Russia in check with a media campaign.
LOL!
Putin's laughing too.
