With nothing to lose? Your premise here is patently false.
(1) Losing the War?
(2) Unpopularity at home with war and protests?
(3) Already significant meglomaniac tendencies?
(4) Fairly credible evidence of terminal or debilitating illness?
(5) 30+ years of pent up anger and resentment for fall of USSR?
(6) Basically being forced into the corner like an angry badger?
Tell me again how my premise is false? I hope Putin gets tossed out of Ukraine, but based on what I am hearing fron Uke leadership the past few days? Thses turds are sending veiled threats that they want to take their war road show all the way to Moscow.
It's madness that might trigger World War 3. You okay with that?
