Putin: "We will go to paradise as martyrs, but they will simply die"

Putin: "We will go to paradise as martyrs, but they will simply die" https://video.echelon.pl/videos/watch/f654bba9-cdf6-4790-8e61-06e4d24acc5d Speaking at the Valdai Club in 2018, Putin once again threatened the West with nuclear strikes, this time using ISIS rhetoric: 'We will go to paradise as martyrs, but they will simply die'. The Russian word he used, сдохнут, is interesting because it doesn't simply mean 'to die'; it's usually applied to animals, and when applied to humans it conveys clear contempt. Note also his body language, with his legs widely apart, signalling arrogance towards the whole world, including his audience.
