    At some point, he’s either got to put up, shut up, or suffer a completely unexpected case of falling out of a window.

    Oh no! Did any of their “red lines” get crossed?

    Fuck off Putin! No one is impressed by your empty threats.

    Putin’s aware that he isn’t the only one with nukes right? And that France’s nuclear doctrine is strike first?

  4. is is just embarrassing….there are countries that have them but don’t constantly throw around threats and there are those that do…you just look foolish

  5. I wonder if Putin is still convinced that Ukraine will cede territory to Russia seized by force in an unprovoked invasion. Now that eastern Ukraine has been invaded and destroyed, what steps will Russians take to rebuild the seized territory? Rebuild it? With what money? Putin’s stashed money and if they take it, can they actually hold it and at what cost? Russians don’t have the assets for an occupation. Remember Afghanistan?🇦🇫

  6. He keeps threatening nukes. But he really can’t use them without committing national suicide for Russia. He’ll never push the button.

    Perhaps they don’t have any working Nukes left? Maybe just maybe all those Nuclear missiles are rusty broken useless trash and they know it so they try to scarer us with their bullshit.

  8. The way these chuckle fucks swing their nuclear dick around I’m convinced they’re nuclear arsenal is either crumbling and ineffective or had completely failed at this point

    The UN should just remind Russia that Western Nukes don’t blow up in silos and they actually will hit their target.

  10. The louder an autocrat gets, the closer it means he is to being toppled. And this is about as loud and petulant as it gets.

    We must be getting close now that he knows we are very aware of his China dealings.

  11. The Russian regime likes to pretend that a nuclear war is a one sided affair against the West that will not see the end of Russia and Russians as a concept.

  12. Russia has the 11th largest economy. To put that into perspective Canada is in the 10th spot. They’re threatening the US, UK, and France whose economies are much bigger, productive, and innovative than Russia on its best days. Putin is getting old and senile. He’s actually more of a threat today than ever before because he’s losing his grasp on reality like his useful little moron, Trump.

  13. North Korea does a similar dance every 6 months or so. It’s like a child throwing a tantrum because they’re not getting enough attention.

  14. Who else thinks that the fact that they keep talking about nuclear weapons only means they have none that actually works.

  15. Russia’s sustained cyberwarfare against the US and West justify any proxy support of hostilities against them.

  16. This whole situation is the geopolitcal equivalent of FAAFO. They assumed Ukraine would cower at Russia’s military might. They assumed the west wouldn’t help because big bad Russia had the bomb. They assumed that they could roll into a sovereign nation and just take over and no one would do anything about it. Putin has to win. They are going to kill him when he fails. He very probably is enough of a self absorbed psychopath to demand a launch. But are his generals going to obey the order. If they do It will be the end of Russia for all time. The entire country will become a smoking crater. The only concern is how many of his nukes will be launched and how many will actually hit a target.

    Scary time.

    Why is Lavrov allowed to threaten literally everyone in the world at the UN? Let the Russians suckle on such empty threats.

  18. Smells desperation. I mean, it already stinks.

    To bad it is taking so long to see the Russian kleptocracy being flushed down in a stolen toilet, because that is what is supposed to be done with shit.
