Putin said the following....if this isn't evidence of outright lies, delusion, or a degree of madness, what is?
"He accused the west of starting a war against Russia in Ukraine in 2014.“In its aggressive anti-Russian policy the west has crossed all lines,” the Russian president said. He accused the west of planning to destroy Russia and use nuclear blackmail.
Putin said he would use “all means available to us” and that those who are trying to use nuclear blackmail against Russia will find the tables can be turned against them. He explicitly said “I’m not bluffing.”
