Putin claims Ukraine is planning to set off "dirty bomb"

[Riedquat]

Russia has earned such a reputation for the "announce a fake threat than do it yourself" false flag tactics that if someone does set off a dirty bomb nobody will believe it wasn't them.

Doesn't matter to him though. The nonsense he spouts is what Russians are told to believe, that's all it's for. He's just about run out of options, this is about the only tool he's got left, and is desperate enough to try and damn the consequences because failure would be the end of him anyway and he couldn't give a damn about anyone else.

The way I see it, what he's saying is just a parchment guarantee as long as what the state does goes without resistance.

The value added in saying such things, besides people believing it, is a complication on the international stage when the US declared war on Iraq under false pretenses precipitated with the help of the UK. It's not a very strategic advantaging, but is kind of an effective middle finger to the UN convention.

Sometimes what you say seems to make very little sense and feels almost more like a bot.

Looks like machine translation to me. Or just not quite fluent.

Gramatically it's OK so I doubt a lack of fluency. So machine translation perhaps, although even allowing for that sometime's I still can't make out what's being said. And sometimes the posts are perfectly clear.
