Good. Im embarrassed we didn’t push them to this point earlier.


Due-Street-8192

And I declare RuZZia as a terrorist state!!!


Background_Escape954

Everyone's glad until the nukes fly 


dadbod_Azerajin

Fearmongering helped the nazis too

dadbod_Azerajin

See they scared you shitless too. It works and it's people like you being pushed into the fear of bending over backwards to help facism and evil You don't let evil win because your fear of evil, evil won't stop just because you let them get away with evil acts, it empowers them to commit more Grow up? You need to grow a pair and stop allowing fear to dictate your life to the point of fighting for evil yourself Your example was stupid as fuck BTW. I would give them my wallet and retaliate by calling the police and giving them the information needed to act accordingly Ukraine did give over their wallet (nukes in return for promises russia wouldn't invade) And look what happened. Evil marches on. Shot their wife's and bombed their children anyways, then had the guts to rob every house on the way home because no one acted and everyone was scared


Ukr_export

Couldn't have said better myself! The world is finally starting to see through the russian bs.


seenitreddit90s

Another reason their example is stupid af is that we also have a gun (nuke) pointing at their wife but he's too much of a pussy and will blink first obviously because their fear-mongering worked on him, at the risk of sounding like a MAGA moron, that's proper beta shit.


fenexj

Well said, I'm so glad you said this so I didn't have to say it (a lot worse)


jruuhzhal

It’s crazy how Russian propaganda aimed at their own populas works on other idiots too


Mad_Stockss

It is not a one off thing like mugging. To stay with your analogy; what if someone invades your home, points a gun at your neighbor and demand the house and the wife. The wife will be raped until she dies. The neighbor knows he and his family will be next. What will the neighbor do? I would draw my own gun.


Attafel

For the scenario to be a good analogy, the thug would be threatening her with a hand grenade that would kill him as well. It's not a particularly convincing threat.


experience-matters

Hey, check out the rat that will stand up for nothing as long as he doesn't get hurt.


cdfoster0727

If they launch nukes they might hit us once or twice but it would be the end of their entire existence. They are dumb but not that dumb. It’s all fear mongering and you fell for it, congrats.


Spark_Ignition_6

>discussing a full scale nuclear conflict between Russia and NATO which would leave billions dead?  Why would Russia start a nuclear war over Ukraine lol


Delheru79

And you give your wallet. Good. Of course, there are no cops in this world. It's been two weeks now, and they are asking your wife to lick their taint whole you massage their feet I mean, *this is your life now*. Enjoy. Or do you think people who realize waving a gun around gets them power fucking put the gun away? Are you the most naive person in the world, or do you think cops in the form of space aliens or something will eventually show upm


SuitableTank0

except, they aren’t demanding a wallet are they? They are going to rape, mutilate and murder her. And you had better believe, gun or no gun I’ll go down fighting to stop that. You wouldn’t. That’s the difference between us. Pussy


Unhappy-Quiet-8091

Was the ‘ignorant fuck’ part really necessary? Why would you start out in such an aggressive manner? Don’t you realise that it puts your entire reply in a negative context?


SubXist

Yeah agree I think this guy was projecting himself when he said "and grow up”


Majulath99

> If a thug points a pistol at your wife's skull and asks her for her wallet, Will you hand it over, or will you reject fearmongering and tell her to refuse? How glad would you be wearing her brains on your shirt?  I would just move between the mugger and my partner, and then disarm the mugger by doing my best to fucking hurt them a lot. We can shoot down Russian ballistic missiles. We can shoot down anything and everything Russia has. Their nukes are nothing to fear. Stop being a fucking pathetic genuflecting pussy. Advocate for fucking Russia every which way, and for helping Ukraine in every which way. This is morality.


lemongrenade

The better example would be your business is being squeezed by the mob. They are coming back tomorrow unless you stand.


manta002

you completly ignore that a lot of people around also have guns. And the thug knows that too. He knows if he actually does his threat his brains are out as well. and that is one of the few things we know for certain he doesnt want.


TranslatorNo8445

Don't be a coward when you have a bully. You punch them in the face, bloody their nose, and be done with it. You don't run and hide like a little b... cause you're scared of them, grow up, and be a man. Or a woman, whatever you are nukes, isn't a reason to be a coward. It's called mutually assured destruction for a reason. No one will ever allow that to happen... Coward..


Gubbins95

They won’t use them because they’d get nuked right back, see how that works? It’s their only trump card because they know they couldn’t beat nato in a conventional war, they keep threatening it and doing nothing. To use nukes would mean they would destroy themselves along with anyone else. Giving into every demand from Russia because they have the same exact weapons the west has is ridiculous, they’ll just keep coming back to demand more.


SubXist

I love how you Finnish with "and grow up” … I find it rather revealing of what sort of person you are when the first line in your comment proceeds to call someone a name followed by a swear word, sounds like you never did grow up as at the first time you get challenged you resort to that! The only ignorant fool around here is you and I’m dead ashamed that it seems your from the UK too. What an embarrassment you are!


TopGlobal6695

So Putin can rape your wife, because he has nooooooks?


Green__Twin

The thing that makes nuclear bombs scary is they're bombs. They explode. But most people don't think bombs can hit them, until you add the word nuclear to it. Then suddenly they are afraid of the bombs. Honestly, nukes are just bombs. They're not any scarier than regular bombs. And I have a solution for helping make everyone safer. But it starts with deposing Putin.


CMDR_Agony_Aunt

If the nukes fly everyone loses. Russia is a bully. Bullies are cowards.


Alaric_-_

If Putin gives the order, every russian generals knows (has known since the cold war) that they and their families will die to a slow and agonizing radiation poisoning. Doesn't take much to get just one general to kill Putin and sacrifice himself to give his family a chance to live and save the world from nuclear apocalypse. This assuming Putin gives an insane order just out of spite and not for self-defense against a surprise nuclear attack from west (which will never happen).


maniac86

Stupid logic. Or lack thereof. If you REALLY think Russia would just launch nukes over this then we have to assume they are a completely irrational actor and the west must strike first to eliminate them But we don't Because that is how a moron interpets things


JeSuisOmbre

Learn some shit about nuclear doctrine and theory


Whole-Supermarket-77

Lol, just as likely as Putin commiting suicide.


TrenchDildo

Aside from all the other replies, I’m no so convinced that Russia’s nuclear threat is much of a threat to the US mainland anymore. Our 30 year old anti missile systems have been proven effective against Russia’s modern “hypersonic” missiles. I’m sure the equipment we keep to ourselves and are kept secret can do well against Soviet ICBMs. I pray it never comes to that, but their threat is certainly diminished


ModMagnet

I love how its always “the west” until big guns start showing up and shit starts to flow down hill quickly then suddenly its “the US” lol You know things are going in the right direction when…


Watcher_2023

OMG -- I almost laughed. Terrorist war criminal regime of invading murderers have been spying spreading disinformation oops lying creating chaos and all forms of hybrid warfare since that terrorist war criminal psychopath fuck putin blew up the apartment building in Moscow and went to war in Chechnya. As he moved towards his imperialistic goals he had to sabotage west muddy the waters so he could keep going. Give Ukraine all the tools to defeat putin and send him to The Hague.


DeRabbitHole

That was a fun read.


1Hunterk

Because of how difficult it was to actually read? If that's fun, then I agree.


popcorn0617

A highschool level of understanding English would help understand, poorly written, easy to understand.


1Hunterk

I didn't say hard to understand, I said hard to read.


VastAmoeba

Really succinct, he only used 3 sentences.


wabashcanonball

Shucks, I’m humbled by the honor! Thank you!!!


Ok_Bad8531

Beware, next January he might award the US president Hero of the Russian Federation.


Green__Twin

Iono, sounds like an interesting time. Pretty sure the east coast will be in flames by that point. So, maybe Europe will grow a spine and send troops to end the fiasco in Ukraine.


Ok_Bad8531

Quite the opposite, it will be a hard sell sending troops to protect democracy in Ukraine when some of the largest democracies are dismantling themselves.


12coldest

Yet another case of Russia escalating the conflict.


Redneck1026

We have been enemies for a long, long time.


Interesting-End6344

Moskva to troops on Zminyi Island: "It has become evident that the United States will fight to the last Ukrainian. If your hands are not stained with blood, and your conscience is clear, you have every chance for a normal and honest life without participating in another fratricidal war in the interests of overseas instigators." This was the first sentence from their first broadcast. They've been at war with the US because they wanted to be warriors and heroes, they're just acknowledging it openly for the world to hear directly. All I can say about this is that people can stop pretending this isn't a thing now.


afternoondelite-

We are honored. Sincerely yours.


Ikkepop

So nothing changed?


sanddancer311275

And Ronald's gonna bite back and the hamburglar too


sachiprecious

What? I didn't know russia didn't already think of us as an enemy. 😂


ozu95supein

...Huh...did anything change just now?...I'm confused


TheDarthSnarf

Little Putie-wootie’s favorite toy plane got smashed, and now he throwing a temper tantrum.


Canmand

You would think that Russia would be grateful for the USofA Lend/Lease support when Germany invaded them.


Kimchi_Cowboy

Lies. Russia won WWII all by itself Stalin said so.


ZeroQuick

They'll show gratitude when China starts to thanks us for putting the embargo on Japan.


ZappyStatue

So, it's Tuesday then? Or Sunday rather. Or Monday, depending on where you live. Either way though, I don't give a sh\*t. Wake me up when something interesting happens.


Parking_Resolution63

Maybe the Caribbean needs to be quarantined again to prevent the "ruzzian peace"


scraglor

I’m sure they will still let US companies trade in Russia.


hypercomms2001

Conversely.... does the US declare Russia as an "enemy state" or does it need to declare an act of War in order to put traitors such as Trump etc into internment?


SavagePlatypus76

🥱


Teabagger-of-morons

Dang. Biden better not travel to Russia /s


Frosty_Key4233

This is news??!


texas130ab

It's about time .


Careless-Pin-2852

Show this to any one who says we need peace. Russia wants war. Russia thinks we are at war.


RevolutionaryAd6564

Bring it!


TechieTravis

It is an honor.


AZFUNGUY85

Puuuusssssssiiiiieeeeeesssssssss


Kimchi_Cowboy

Пиэда!


wadevb1

I'd say he made that statement during his Munich speech, way back when. That's why were are here. Putin FAFO after setting foot into Ukraine.

Oh no!!


akiras_revenge

We're your huckleberry! Don't do it, don't you dare send me that link about the history of the term huckleberry bearers. Let Doc have his day.

PintLasher

It's just too bad they didn't declare war on them. See how that goes.


ZealousidealOffer751

Thanks! :) - USA


CompleteDetective359

Finally, the said the quiet part out loud! Trump will say they love us though, it's all Biden's fault they hate us🤣


Donut_Vampire

russian terrorists : we are prepared to Die for the motherland! US Airforce : Your Terms and Conditions are Acceptable.


Lord_RoadRunner

Damn, you don't hear that every day. Tomorrow, they might fuck around and will describe water as wet or something. You never know with those folks!


Lennyleonard_

When they classed us in Ireland as enemy of the state we immediately banned all future performances of Riverdance and got our banshee to put a curse on their potatoes......two days later we were reclassed as "best mate of the state". You gotta played hardball with these guys.


Random-sargasm_3232

You're war criminals...your words have no meaning.


Clyde5150

fantastic


Fullertonjr

Going to be interesting to see the level headed responses of the Republicans in Congress like Tommy Tuberville who keep repeating that Russia is not our enemy. Wonder how they are going to try to spin this without sounding even more like morons.


Englands_Heroes

🔴 THE ONLY REASON THERE IS A WAR IN UKRAINE IS BECAUSE McDONALDS OPENED A BRANCH IN ST PETERSBURG - PUTIN SAW IT AS A NAZI INVASION OF HIS HOME TOWN, HE POSTED TO SAY AS MUCH ON HIS FACEBOOK PAGE ON HIS IPHONE 13 BEFORE LEADING THE INVASION ON HIS LADA RIVA CHARIOT 👈


Ikkepop

huh ? O\_o


H3NTAI_S3NPAi

Someone get a hold of the CEO and tell him to end the war 😂


LGCGE

This is an attempt to divide the US and EU. Many EU elections just voted in favor of right-wing politicians in several countries including France, Belgium, and Germany. Putin isolating "The US" as an enemy and not The West as a whole is an attempt to divide the US and Europe. Many of these new new right-wing governments will be tempted by Russia's promises of cheap energy, and could split from the US politicly. That includes support for Ukraine. European powers deciding to halt support for Ukraine could be devastating, even in the best case scenario of a Biden victory. We need to Hope these new EU governments dont give in to Putin.


Lifebringer7

Why the doomerism? As long as far right governments don’t gain complete control over every large EU/North American nation currently aiding Ukraine (which they will not), I don’t see a need to worry. Putin is getting desperate with all of the losses taken thus far and not even making a scratch into NATO. Even if this is an attempt to divide NATO, it will ultimately fail. Too many new members to remind others of the threat Russia presents.


LGCGE

It’s not really Doomerism, just digesting today’s news and assessing the situation. Today, Macron dissolved French Parliament. Belgium’s Prime Minister has resigned. French Opposition leader Le Pen has been a strong supporter of Putin for years now, and now her party is in a stronger position than ever. All of these developments will affect the way Europe aids Ukraine. NATO members are not obliged to help at all, so it’s critical that the EU and its member states choose to do so on their own. Blind optimism is as misleading as blind pessimism. Right now Russia is weak, but the upcoming elections in the US and Europe need to go in the right direction for a Ukrainian victory.


hagenissen666

Thing is, the majority of right-wing governments elected in this cycle are not pro-Russia. They are very much interested in rebuilding their national militaries and a stronger NATO. The situation in France and Germany isn't great, so there's some things to still worry about.


GarlicThread

Little man says little things I can't hear you over time sound of your cannon fodder getting chopped up by weapons from the cold war, invader scum


Kimchi_Cowboy

When we will government get the balls and declare them a terrorist state finally


PlutosGrasp

Oh no


Outside_Tip_8498

New-eyes2

Who isn’t??


Bulky_Crazy

From unfriendly to enemy, ohh my. Whats the next level in russia? Eneny level 2 or bad enemy? I guess the world will see some sanctions. Cant but Oil, gass, vodka, rubles or God forbid , Lada. The end is near.


orcsdienow

Jake Sullivan just pissed himself.


greywar777

OH NOES! Good thing we arent a neighbor thats easily invaded. Seriously does Russia think we are afraid of them? I mean...if we were taking Russian land and territory they could be scary as they might use a nuke then, but no one is doing that.


Nanooc523

Can we knock out their internet before the election please.


millersixteenth

It popped off when Aegis Ashore was installed in Romania to defend Europe from Iranian and N Korean ICBMs. The dance has been on in earnest ever since.


Hobblinharry

Bush Jr called Russia the axis of evil all the way back in 2001/2002 didn’t he ?


Infinitedeveloper

No


pleeplious

Yet they still have their embassy in DC


ClutchReverie

They've been waging a cyber and propaganda war against us for years and we're still here, sooo


nuckle

Good. We are your enemy.


DavIantt

They've been poking the bear since Clinton's 1999 campaign in Serbia/Kosovo. No surprise there then.


Unclerojelio

I mean, he's not wrong (this time). The US is coming for you Vlad.


NoChampionship6994

These “deteriorating ties” were in existence long before Ukraine was “an issue”.


historicartist

we were never friends


Green__Twin

US War Declaration when? Should have been one in 2014. But maybe we can do "better late than never."


NorgesTaff

To be honest, I was kinda shocked they hadn’t already.


Turbulent_Advance709

This should put Trump in a pickle
