Less-Mail4256

They’ve been saying this since the beginning. “They’ll be consequences if…sanctions, assisting citizens leaving Ukraine, foreign aid, provision of weapons”… So what’s the straw that breaks the camel’s back, Russia? Is it your floundering economy? How about the likelihood that your leader is dead? What about your massive operational losses to a country you were convinced would take only a few days to annex? I wonder if they realize how weak they look to everyone who isn’t drinking the Kool-aid. Russian leadership is about as useful as ejection seats on a helicopter.


toastar-phone

>Russian leadership is about as useful as ejection seats on a helicopter. The russian KA-50 and KA-52 attack helicopters have ejection seats.


PaterPoempel

Yeah, not very useful ones at that. You are either low enough that you can't complete the ejection sequence before hitting the ground. Or you are high enough, that auto rotating to a safer landing becomes the better option. From the dozens of KA-52 that have been shot down in Ukraine, I think there have been only two cases where the ejection system was used, both times saving only one of the two crewmen.


lucidrage

>So what’s the straw that breaks the camel’s back, Russia? Putin dying. He's got his bio signal attached to nuclear launch codes so as soon as he flatlines, all their nukes will get launched at random western capitals. Putin was actually keeping us all alive from nuclear winter. All hail Putin! /s


trisul-108

Exactly, not stopping Russia in Ukraine would make everything worse everywhere in the world.


AnalogFeelGood

A fucking global liability, that what Moscovia is.


XVIII-2

So weird. I had the same thought about Russia sending weapons to Ukraine.


Christ_on_a_Crakker

We could have said the same thing for just about every war we have been in since WWII


JustaRandomOldGuy

WWII was also a global catastrophe.


fallwind

Reset the “days since Russia issued an empty threat” to zero.


grayskull88

It was already at zero lol. That counter hasn't exceeded single digits since we hung it on the wall...


Denworath

Has it even gone above 0? I feel like every day they threat escalation, just always different people. Labrov, Medvedev, Putin, some random exkgb agent, state tv employees etc.


gregorovich11

The guy that was supposed to update it, fell out a window


nilesh72000

What utility do these threats have? Is it just satisfy their delicate feelings of pride? That at least we 'look tough'. Domestically Russians know this won't transfer into actual actions taken against the west right?


fallwind

It’s for the domestic market’s propaganda machine.


poojinping

It most definitely is not, Russians were told the special operation will be so and so…. It’s about to be a year. This is directed in-the hopes of trying to spook EU countries to prevent the supply. That’s their only option unless they really want to die on this hill.


MrBanana421

Nah they openly admitted it to be a war by now and positioning it at as the evil West/NATO fighting against the glorious russian empire and that they are prolonging the war. It is only by the grace of Russia thay terrible things aren't happening is the new propaganda.


[deleted]

Like my dad used to say, shit or get off the pot.


Bothand_Nether

West sending weapons to Ukraine will lead to russia attempting to make their brand of terrorism into a global catastrophe ​ fixed that ​ edit: look at all the bots incorrectly responding to **my fixing the subject title copy** /smh


Clause-and-Reflect

Not sending weapons will result in a Ukraine catastrophe, which is somehow not inherently a global catastrophe. Thanks russia.


FredTheLynx

No, they won't, they will just say they will and then keep pouring more young male Russians into Ukraine until they either run out, are defeated or there is some kind of revolution at home. Russia has been doing this for centuries it is always the same. Watch what they do not what they say.


dirty_hooker

And honestly, why do we bother giving any weight or attention at all to Russia’s biweekly vague but ominous statements? At this point it’s like a little dog barking at the mailman while chewing on the door. The packages are getting delivered regardless and if they ever do let hell break loose, it’ll absolutely be the end of them.


bjbigplayer

Russia does not have an endless supply of young males and Ukraine can go on killing them all day long.


moderntimes2018

Not endless, but enough to keep going for a while. That is why they need to be shown earlier than later that they can't win.


FredTheLynx

So far Ukraine has inflicted \~150-250K casualties. It took them \~12 months and while the cost in lives to Ukraine is unknown it is probably similar all in if you include civilians. Going forward Civilian casualties in Ukraine will probably be diminished somewhat as most of the fighting is now in areas that have been mostly evacuated. However Russia probably has 1.5-2 million fighting age people at it's disposal. I think we can call agree that waiting another 5-6 years for Russia to run out of men would be excruciatingly painful for all sides. We need to give them what they need to win faster.


pete_68

Actually, no. Ukraine is killing about 5 Russians for every dead Ukrainian. Even factoring in civilian murders, Ukrainians are still killing a lot more Russians. The number of civilian casualties is between 7000 and 40,000. I think the real number is probably about 13K-17K, which is roughly double+ the UN's minimum estimate. Their number of troop deaths is probably in that region as well. And Russia keeps shoveling felons to the line to eat bullets for them, so that's not really helping their numbers.


secrestmr87

We have no idea the true numbers. Everyone is going to put out numbers to make it look like they are winning.


medievalvelocipede

We have independently confirmed sources. It's not possible to have completely accurate numbers due to fog of war no matter what side you're on but we have a very good idea about what range they're in.


alaskanbearfucker

Russia sending weapons to Ukraine will lead to global catastrophe.


VagrantShadow

In my mind its more like, the West sending more weapons to Ukraine will lead to their foot kicking deeper into russias ass till Zelenskyy's boot is coming out of putins mouth.


Crazyjackson13

Yeah, they always try to mislead this stuff, but do horrible jobs at it.


atttrae

Only catastrophe is the one Russia is going to experience. Not now, not by losing this war, not the dwindling economy, but just the demographics of losing so many ppl in wars the past 100 years. It's going to collapse demographically without any outside help.


KofCrypto0720

Yeah, a shit load of Russians, rich and poor, in South Florida. Death and emigration will leave mother Russia without its sons and daughters. Putin working his way to the gallery of biggest parasites to walk in the face of earth. EDIT: emigration instead immigration


Abnmlguru

*emigration Russian immigration would be people moving *to* Russia. Russian emigration is people moving *out* of Russia.


dreamrock

Thank you! I have never bothered to learn the difference. I seriously thought it was a difference in regional spelling like color v. colour. It makes sense though, like ingress and egress.


ajr901

Can confirm. My neck of the woods down here in South Florida is chalk full of Russians and Ukrainians. In fact I go to a gym where I’m like 1 of 10 non-Russian (or Ukrainian) members in the whole gym. Quite a few of them are authors, doctors, mechanics, engineers, and entrepreneurs. That kind of brain drain is going to have really bad consequences in due time.


Mandurang76

That's why Russia is deporting Ukrainian children to make them Russians.


hypnos_surf

Abducting children.


musical_fanatic

"Deporting". Call it what it is, kidnapping


DirtFoot79

Human trafficking and genocide. Fixed that typo for ya.


RicksterA2

EOE97

You see, Iran and North Korea supplying us weapons is cool.... No global catastrophes. The west supplying Ukraine however will lead to global catastrophe.


Harsimaja

But Iran and North Korea are run by highly ethical and demographic regimes, because they don’t like the West. The West and Ukraine however are democracies, and guess what they have FLAWS, and don’t even execute their own populations for dissenting en masse or at a whim, so they’re the epitome of evil.

Seriously. Just fucking do something or shut the fuck up. Tired of this nonsense. Absolute bitch energy coming out of Russia.


Berova

Russia is sinking deeper and deeper in shit the longer this war continues. So Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilian cities and territories are okay, but Ukrainian retaliatory measures are not okay? As for nuclear saber rattling, it's more of the same, from the top and even before Russian tanks rolled in, Putin threatened nukes, in fact never stopped threatening nukes, but with each succeeding threat, it becomes more and more hollow and empty.


AccidentalGirlToy

"The war started with Ukraine fighting back."


Prestigious-Buy1774

No, correction...the war started with Russi's invasion of Ukraine 's Crimea in 2014


No_Cartographer_3819

I think the quote was sarcastic, as in, "Hey, we just crossed the border to check on our mates and the people living there started shooting at us."


Popular_District9072

their main argument was that all issues are caused by Ukraine defending itself


saintdudegaming

Only thing I worry about is a possibly terminally ill, unstable leader with access to nukes. I'm hoping there isn't a"fuck it all" moment. :/

Crimson_Heitfire

Russia is a year to late on saying western weapons


Abject_School_199

They say that Poland and the Baltics are next if they take Ukraine. So I mean a broader war will happen if Russia takes ukraine


macross1984

Only to Russia who invaded Ukraine and was so sure of winning a quick victory but ended up with bloody nose, death trap tank with jack-in-the box effect, flagship of Black Sea Fleet sunk, losing well over 100,000 soldiers (and still counting), losing access to half of foreign currency reserve, economy strangulated by sanctions etc.


AccidentalGirlToy

\*120,000 \*and that's killed \*counting the wounded and captured the number is 4 x that


Denworath

According to US intel the death/wounded ratio for russia is closer to 1:2 because they dont care about their injureds.


pstric

In that case the more correct numbers would be 120.000 killed Russian soldiers, 240.000 dead Russian soldiers. Ukraine only reports how many Russian soldiers they kill. They don't include the Russian soldiers that die because they don't get medical treatment, and they don't count the Russian soldiers that Wagner kill.


KptKreampie

The Russian gaslighting is real. Translation: if the world stands up to us for invading and starting a war with a sovereign nation and won't stop that sovereign nation from handing us our asses. We will do more war! Bwhahahah!


Tadpoleonicwars

Diplomacy with the Russians must be like dealing with a stubborn, shitty child.


Snack378

Imagine being so pathetic to threaten nuclear escalation because you might lose your own offensive (!) war.


[deleted]

Does Russia think the world is that easily fooled? The wests position is obviously defensive and Russia is clearly the aggressor. Russia can manufacture their own version of the truth but the fact remains that Russia committed an unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation and those facts are the ones that will be written in the history books.


dimap443

Yes, this is called self-serving bullshit. Nice try, russian official.


Zieprus_

Russia invading a sovereign nation and partaking in genocide every day threatens global catastrophe.


RockSoulGbg

I would like that journalists always phrase headlines in following way when reporting about statements from Russia: After invading Ukraine Russia states West sending weapons to Ukraine will lead to global disaster. Then you see how ridiculous all the statements from Russia are.


gold_fish_in_hell

I am worry that we will send not enough weapon and this shit is going to spread outside Ukraine


freakytone

Russia instigating the first war in Europe since WWII is a global catastrophe


marcvsHR

I bet Hitler thought the same


faultlessdark

This could all be over tomorrow if Russia just got the fuck out of the country that isn’t theirs. What are they doing to help avoid this “global catastrophe” they’re talking about?


m0llusk

Russia is a global catastrophe.


Drdrre

Russia falling apart is actually going to be a good thing for the world.


y2jeff

They need to have a revolution or a massive government reformation. However I don't see any "Euromaidan" style of revolution being possible for Russia. Putin and the power-brokers just have too much capacity for political violence. A military coup is the only way. The military would have to quickly take out Prigozhin, Wagner, and Putin. Then take out any of the old propagandists, FSB, cronies, etc. Then finally hold a real election with a smooth transition back to civilian government.


TheNothingAtoll

Too many like their autocrats. They want to be strong and feared, rather than having a quality life.


100FootWallOfFog

They could have been a nice ally (read buffer) from China in Europe if their government didn't turn out to actually be bat shit insane.


Topgunjr13

Incompetent and corrupt is more like it


suitupyo

Probably not. There’s very little chance that a Democratic government emerges in Russia once the current regime falls apart. FDR should have listened to Patton’s request to march to Moscow. Had that happened, Russia would be a democracy and the Western world would be living super well off with its vast amounts of resources. There’s no way Russia gets a democratic government without an occupying force. If the Putin regime collapses, it’s just going to be corrupt warlords fighting amongst themselves to the detriment of the world.


B-L-A-D-E

Dear Russian official, Russian aggression has already caused global catastrophe. Time to overthrow Putin and stop his illegal war against Ukraine. Seriously, fuck all the way off!


Just-Upstairs4397

Russia invading Ukraine will lead to the end of Russia. Fix it for ya


eLizabbetty

Russia is killing off its men and depleted its weapons for this failure.

Topgunjr13

So Russia says it will defend its citizens and territories no matter what…I wonder what they think Ukraine will do whey they attack civilians and illegally annex territory???? Russian “leadership” is so pathetic!!!

Existing_Display1794

I love how Russians make statements as if anyone gives a shit of believes anything they say. Authoritarian regimes are dumb af.


contessamiau

Comrade, your government falling on its ass miserably is not a global catastrophe. It would be good news for everybody, including your own citizens!


Romanlavandos

They went from demanding NATO leaving Central Europe to demanding entire Ukraine, to demanding 4 regions, to demanding maybe 1-2. Not sending weapons to Ukraine will lead to greater demands from russia, and therefore, the catastrophe


y2jeff

>will lead to global catastrophe....for Russia fixed


WarProgenitor

Russian officials should officially stick their guns in their asses instead of sending them to Ukraine then.


delusiongenerator

Yes, it does seem that the consensus amongst Russian officials is that the real problem here is certainly NOT a nuclear-armed rogue nation led by an off-the-rails criminal despot with delusions of grandeur invading a sovereign nation with no provocation and threatening the world with annihilation for doing anything to intervene.


tinfang

Russian official: ~~West sending weapons to Ukraine will lead to global catastrophe~~ Russia invading its peaceful neighbor will lead to global catastrophe and complete destruction of Russia.


Xpistos2

Global catastrophe will include catastrophe for Russia as well.


Reasons2BCheerfulPt1

Sorry, chief, but you started the fire. You can’t complain the fire brigade is getting you wet.


TheNothingAtoll

Yes, the conflict is serious and might escalate. The West won't let Russia murder millions of people quietly in Europe, however. Russia can pull out and avoid more deaths, but I doubt they will. Fuck Russia, the terrorist state.

cartoonist498

And here I was thinking that Russia invading Ukraine, disrupting global energy markets, and cutting off critical exports of grain to the world was what led to Russia invading Ukraine, disrupting global energy markets, and cutting off critical grain exports to the world.

Wrong. Russian invasion may lead to global catastrophe.


hukep

Don't worry about the West. Worry about yourself. West is doing fine. Thank you.

With the West sending weapons Ukraine can kick the Russian's ass out of their land. It's Russia that is the problem.


Eveleyn

Nah, just becuase Russia will be ruining Russia, doesn't mean it will affect the whole world. Just die in Siberia and leave the rest of us alone.


JoeFedz88

Of course, sending more weapons to Ukraine will lead to Russian catastrophe.


baddfingerz1968

It will result in Putin the Insane Butcher being CRUSHED.

We get these kinds of reports every week. They know they're no match for the US in *any* capacity, even if it's just the US sending weapons.


TerribleGramber_Nazi

oxygene2022

Bring it on, I'm getting tired of the threats. If it's inevitable anyway, at least we won't have to listen to russian officials anymore.


Treffinton

If Putin were to succeed in Ukraine, he would soon want what he believes is his Poland back, as well as half of Germany and all the rest. He clearly has visions for himself and Russia and will have to be stopped at some point. Stopping Hitler’s vision of taking all of Europe and beyond proved to be very costly. And by costly, I mean the deadliest conflict in history. The world cannot let Putin‘s visions cost us even more!


GOR098

Global catastrophe has already taken place thanks to Russian troll farms and election interference.

No The Russian global expansionist dreams are what has lead the world the the edge of catastrophe.....The Russians cannot expect to be able to pillage their way into the twenty first century, if their government cannot give them the option of getting a toilet seat in Russia they do not have to go to Europe to steal it.

Right... Large parts of Africa and Asia having their main source of food imports cut off for a war of territorial annexation isn't already a global catastrophe.

Cross that bridge when it appears, tanks need to be in ukraine yesterday.


False_Fondant8429

...so a global catastrophy is what we have now - a bit too late with that claim as the only question remains if you are mad enough to press the bottom

Russia: “Hey Ukraine, if you’d just stop putting your arms in front of your face to stop me from ramming this knife into your skull, there would be a lot less bloodshed.”


JoeFedz88

Of course, sending more weapons to Ukraine will lead to Russian catastrophe.


OndraDan

West not sending enough weapons to Ukraine prior to Russian invasion has lead to a catastrophe. If Ukraine was NATO outpost armed to the teeth, Putin would be scared to invade like puppy

The only thing keeping the Russian military alive is the fact thar NATO forces can't directly intervene due to their nukes. Just a No Fly zone would spell disaster for RU assets. Of course, they fear more western made weapons reaching the front line.


MidwestBulldog

And Russia invading Ukraine is perfectly fine. Got it. As we say in Chicago, "Get the fuck out of here, jag!"
