If it’s really scary, you need to see if the Chinese ambassador is in the capital

A parade and a call for Russians to evacuate their embassies.

The stakes have been raised too high. And in the coming days we will live on an emotional swing that will be more exhausting than anything else.

1. I will repeat what I said earlier: there will be no nuclear strike. Or, in any case, its likelihood is absolutely minimal. A nuclear strike is an absolute unknown, in which sanctions rise sharply, Trump will not be able to pretend to be a fool, because there will be an absolute consolidation of Democrats and Republicans against Russia, China is very likely to take a tough position. Ultimately, this situation will lead to aggravation within Russia. Putin will simply be afraid.
2. There is another aspect: Hiroshima ended the war. A nuclear strike with a tactical weapon will not necessarily end it. And Moscow understands this very well.
3. Putin will make the decision on a nuclear strike collectively, through the Security Council. In Russia everything moves quickly. We will know about this from all teapots.
4. If it’s really scary, you need to see if the Chinese ambassador is in the capital. As long as he is here, there will be no nuclear strike.
5. In the coming days, the worst rumors will be. War in general is largely a story of rumors. And in the information age, the role of these very rumors increases as much as possible. Most of them will be lies, but people want to hear what they want to hear. Unfortunately, the level of fear in society will increase, and the number of those around you who will be hysterical (vomiting) may increase sharply. And these people, like those energy vampires, will spread their fear around them because they need support for their fear.
6. Massive attacks on Kyiv and beyond are already planned. And they will take place regardless of whether something happens on May 9 or not. But over the past four years we have experienced hundreds of such attacks. We'll survive this one too.
