It’s almost as if the threat of long range missiles is scaring the shit out of Russia.

I hope NATO reply that if Russia turns Kiev into a melted spot, Moscow will follow. But to be fair it’s all ego saber rattling.

Seriously how the fuck does half the world think Russia are the good guys.

They’re probably not even allowed to see the bullshit Russia threatens us with.

AtomicHotSauce@lemmy.world on 14 Sep 2024 20:15 next collapse

It’s the same reason why half of the U.S. supports our wannabe Putin. These turds allow people like that to fly their intolerance/ignorance/racism/etc. flags and have absolutely no repercussions whatsoever. They are people with no empathy at all.

Fascists and “strongmen” appeal to the weak and insecure.

Half the world doesn’t think that.

Take note that this is from the government that the MAGA Republicans support.

This, to them, is honor and strength - to invade a sovereign nation, then threaten to drop nuclear bombs on them for daring to fight back.

That’s the world the MAGA Republicans want - one in which they and their allies are fully entitled to do whatever they want to whoever they want, and the only choices others are to be granted are to submit or die.

At the same time, Medvedev said “a nuclear conflict is really not needed by anyone,” adding that: “It is obvious that a nuclear response is an extremely difficult decision with irreversible consequences.”

Ha! Hahahahahaha! Get fucked! The only reason you say that is because the US already told you that any kind of nuclear attack would result in a good old round of “fuck around and find out”!

Must feel bad to be emasculated that hard.

I believe America will kill Putin if he uses nuclear weapons on Ukraine, so I don’t think this will happen.

I believe America will kill Putin if he uses nuclear weapons on Ukraine

By installing a massive crater where Putin happens to be standing.

We really should sanction exporting alcohol to ruskys, if only to save ourselves from Dima’s delirium maddness.

jonne@infosec.pub on 15 Sep 2024 02:48 collapse

I doubt that would help, unless you told Ukrainians to switch from bombing refineries to bombing distilleries at the same time.

rbos@lemmy.ca on 15 Sep 2024 02:59 next collapse

Genuinely, though, I wonder how centralized their vodka industry is. A few bombs could cause a fairly major crisis if as many people are alcoholic as rumoured.

jonne@infosec.pub on 15 Sep 2024 03:21 collapse

It’s probably better for Ukraine if alcoholism is still a societal problem in Russia. You don’t want to have to fight sober frontline soldiers.

rbos@lemmy.ca on 15 Sep 2024 03:24 collapse

True, though it might be a temporary advantage to create an acute crisis at a key time. Something to keep in the back pocket maybe. NCD stuff.

Vikthor@lemmy.world on 15 Sep 11:48 collapse

But the high officials and oligarchs don’t want to drink vodka for commoners, they want wine, cognac & whisky from the west.

jonne@infosec.pub on 15 Sep 11:53 collapse

And they’ll still be able to source that no matter what. If Kim Jong Un can still get his Cognac, the elites in Russia would have no problem getting some crates through China.

Vikthor@lemmy.world on 15 Sep 14:18 collapse

Sure, that’s already happening even with the dual use supplies. But it will make the supplychain more complicated and less steady and it will give us more clout on the countries reselling to them(China doesn’t want lose access to the west, it’s more about Central Asia). It will also make it cost more, but that’s of no concern to these people.

Let’s just fast track Ukraine into NATO and be done with it.

Turkey and other shithole dictatorship loving countries are blocking it.

Unfortunately this requires 100% participation

Russia’s Medvedev doesn’t understand that even without massive retaliation for doing that… wind is a thing.
