On a more serious note - Putin will start using nukes.
I think it is possible but I also think he will attack some of the countries helping Zelenskyy. I not sure he is such a megalomaniac to not use nukes as a last resort only.

What worries me is that he seems to be struggling just to subdue Ukraine, without stretching himself to spread his hate and anger to neighbouring countries (Moldova springs to mind).
Hence my thought that his patience might run out...

Why? And do what?
Which countries? Take your pick. If he attacks any UN countries he is asking for severe trouble. I wouldn’t put it past him to try.
I'm not convinced he'd risk WW3 by a full-scale attack on a NATO country. He'll engage in cyber-warfare and disruption and wait to see what Trump does to fulfil his promise of ending the conflict.

No, you specify the countries (UN is redundant) he's more than 0.0001% likely to attack this year. And what severe trouble he'd be asking for.

He won't even do that beyond the trivial minimum he's doing already, as he's winning. (That's me being a Moscow puppet by the way). And if he were losing, he couldn't escalate that either. Because we'd counter-attack. He'd lose faster. He can't afford that either way. Trump can't lose either. He's already achieved peace in Gaza that Biden couldn't with the same hand in 8 months.
Peace in Gaza has not been achieved. Bibi may well feel Trump has blind-sided him (he thought Trump was on his, sde, but T is on nobody's side but his own). He (Bibi) will be looking to double-cross Trump and Hamas, getsome hostages returned,leave the IDF controlling Gaza, and continue the war, thereby saving his government and his own position.
Surely a ceasefire is better than no ceasefire. And the consensus seems to be that it was the pressure that Trump applied that made the difference when a very similar deal 8 months ago was not accepted. Of course Biden and his team had been working hard on it and their input was necessary - but Trump's input was necessary too,
I can see that Netanyahu may have been holding out on the assumption that he'd get more support when Trump got in, and then made the deal once Trump told him that wasn't going to happen.

Orange is the new bleak?
And Southampton.
But not Crystal Palace, says Pastor David.
Why? He's winning without them.
I hasten to add that I hope I'm wrong.

It would be unexpected, according to IMF’s own predictions, which are in line with OECD predictions
