    @Aqua-Letifer This is where the Kremlin’s threatening rhetoric disconnects from the reality of the battlefield. According to the rhetoric, of course he could reply with nuclear force. According to military and even political reality it would be sheer folly.

    It's almost like people are evolved apes who can be programmed and controlled easily by the culture around them, regardless of how nonsensical the culture is.

    It does. It also shows has has no legitimate claim to his position, at least in any modern theological sense. If the powers that be ever kill Putin, he should be next.

    And, according to the NIH, Cigarette smoking is good, sometimes. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8746297/ Beneficial effects of nicotine and cigarette smoking: Evidence is growing that cigarette smoking and nicotine may prevent or ameliorate Parkinson's disease, and could do so in Alzheimer's dementia. A variety of mechanisms for potentially beneficial effects of smoking have been proposed, but three predominate: the 'anti-estrogenic effect' of smoking; alterations in prostaglandin production; and stimulation of nicotinic cholinergic receptors in the central nervous system. Even established inverse associations cannot be used as a rationale for cigarette smoking. These data can be used, however, to clarify mechanisms of disease, and point to productive treatment or preventive options with more narrowly-acting interventions.
