You are bat 💩 crazy.
@shavixmir saidIf there is no bluff to call how can you call someones bluff?
Calling someone’s bluff, doesn’t mean that he’s bluffing.

@Metal-Brain saidI agree, NATO has been expanding, despite promises not to. But it doesn't explain why he'd invade Ukraine after 14 years of them not coming any closer to joining after making their bid.
Putin was warning NATO before he invaded Ukraine. What you do not understand is that the USA and NATO bluffed Russia that Ukraine was going to join NATO. Behind the scenes they told Ukraine they would not be accepted into NATO.
The USA and NATO wanted Russia to invade. That was the whole plan. NATO has been expanding to the east for some time. Russia kept warning about ...[text shortened]... e agreement was sabotaged by the west as well. The USA did not want peace. They wanted a bloody war.
Even when Putin invaded in 2014, his justification was allegedly to free ethnic Russians; nothing to do with NATO.
Putin has implied his intent to expand rebuild the Soviet empire:

That may have more to do with it than NATO, especially after he compared himself to Peter the Great.
@vivify saidThe USA and NATO bluffed Russia into thinking Ukraine would join NATO. You seem to think Russia knew Ukraine would not be allowed to join NATO. They didn't.

That war could have been prevented easily by the USA and NATO announcing Ukraine NATO membership would not happen. Instead they bluffed Russia into thinking they would become a NATO nation to get Russia to invade.
Your history sources are omitting important context intentionally.
@Metal-Brain saidIt’s a saying, dumb arse.

@Mott-The-Hoople saidTaliban.
so you cant dispute Trump had things going good? remind me who was at war under Trump?
@Mott-The-Hoople saidYou mean the war where he rimmed the taliban leader and screwed up everything so there was only an emergency ending possible. Yes.
the war Trump inherited and was ENDING? That war?
Or, moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem… you don’t think that’s sowing seeds?
Or ending the Paris accord, or ending the nuclear deal with Iran?
My God… it was no wonder the world was laughing at him and you.
@Metal-Brain saidYes. That is English for you.
So read what you mean, not what you say. Right?
You don’t know if someone is bluffing or not. So, you call their bluff.
@Metal-Brain saidI said "implied".
@vivify
"Putin has implied his intent to expand rebuild the Soviet empire"
That is a lie. He never said anything of the sort.
Sharpen your reading skills.
