A hot NATO-Russia engagement ends with a few sunrises at 3am all over Europe, USA, and Russia. Not a thing to joke about or cheer.

I'm not sure the Motherland is really all that strong these days, Dmitry.

You'd think their escalation threshold would be something a bit more existential than a few more rustbuckets at the bottom of the ocean.

Saber rattling and nuclear threats always benefits someone.. who?

Remember when invading Russian territory was a red line that could cause a nuclear retaliation? And then Ukraine went into Russia and Russia responded with a pretty bog standard conventional force?

Russia isn't gonna fling nukes if the West doesn't first. Putin and co have no interest in Moscow being glassed.

Well maybe the Russians should stop joking about it if it’s so serious. How many times do I have to hear from Medvedev about how Russia will rain nuclear hellfire on London?

Fuck around, you’ll find out. These guys are wimps. If they want to end the world, so be it. China would be destroyed too.

Just bend over for Putins liberators then. There’s nothing that can be done. Let them take what they want? No thanks.
