 ⏰💣Ambrose Evans-Pritchard sounds the siren: Putin is losing, and that’s exactly what makes him dangerous. The clock isn’t just ticking on Russia’s battlefield failures — it’s ticking on Putin’s pride, his grip on power, and his last desperate belief that escalation equals survival.

While his generals mumble about “tactical adjustments,” the Kremlin is doing what every cornered autocrat does best — turning the dial from denial to destruction. Europe, meanwhile, is nervously pretending that “containment” still means something when one bad decision away lies a mushroom-shaped punctuation mark. 🌍💀

⚔️ The Cornered Tsar Syndrome

Putin’s war isn’t the grand chess match he promised; it’s a drunken bar fight with a man who’s losing and knows it. Ukraine’s grinding counterattacks, sanctions biting like frost, and an economy running on duct tape and delusion have shredded the illusion of Russian invincibility.

And that’s what makes it terrifying. A weakened Putin isn’t a safer Putin — he’s a volatile one.

Like a gambler down to his last chip, he’ll double down until the table catches fire. Expect louder threats, darker rhetoric, and the creeping specter of “escalation for peace.” It’s the geopolitical equivalent of setting your own house on fire to win an argument. 🔥

Europe knows this — and yet still shuffles papers, debates sanctions, and stares at the clock like it’s going to stop itself. The danger isn’t a slow burn anymore; it’s a fuse already lit. The question isn’t if Putin lashes out, but how loud the explosion will be.

Will it be cyber chaos? A strike on supply routes? Another “accidental” escalation that nobody can walk back from? The man’s running out of cards, and that’s precisely when despots reach for the nuclear metaphorical — or literal — button.
