Russia threatened to retaliate against the U.S. and other Western nations if they provide more powerful weapons to Ukraine, warning on Sunday that stepped-up military aid from allies would trigger a “global catastrophe.”

You’re either an idiot, or a troll.
What part of “guaranteed to die” did you miss?
“We don’t know what is or is not on an ICBM.”
Dear Mr. US Ambassador:
We have an ICBM we would like you to inspect and then watch fly off towards Los Angeles.
Russian Strategic Nuclear Force
LOL! I guess that kinda would defuse the situation a bit!
“Russia’s the one that keeps talking about nukes, and started the war.”
They are giving us a courtesy notification. If you think they are bluffing, and don’t stop to ponder it - and what would be gained by a nuclear exchange with Russia, you are insane.
“I’m going not to blame the US over Russian threats.”
So bribes to US politicians have no impact over our policy decisions that may result in nuclear war?
I’m going to disagree with you. We are very much to blame, not exclusively, but we share a large part of the blame for where we are.
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Russia warns of retaliation against West over providing Ukraine with powerful weapons, alexander_busek wrote: [...] allows them to use the advanced weaponry of multiple nations, causing Putin to fight multiple countries at once, at the same time sneering he’s weak because he didn’t defeat the Ukraine swiftly as thought, back when he believed he was only fighting the Ukraine. Well, he did stupidly attack Ukraine. His massive tank columns on their way 90 km to Kyiv did fall apart and get stuck in a quagmire within three days. He has lost more than 100,000 troops since the invasion began. He did lose a capital ship, the "Moskva," the pride of the Black Sea Fleet, with almost all hands on board. He did fail to anticipate that Ukraine would receive support from the collective West. And he is being pushed back on all fronts.
In that case, I'd say that the "sneering" was justified.
The man is incompetent.

Putin actually thought the Minsk agreements were real, and not just the delaying tactic Merkel has since admitted they were. The international community has always known (decades) that Russia would not allow the Crimea to be home to missiles against his country. The US along with NATO allies overthrew the Ukraine for the express purpose of war with Russia - installing missiles in the crimea targeting Moscow. So NATO knew it was provoking war and built up 600,000K military in the Ukraine to launch a proxy war with Russia. It knew if it threatened Russia (location, location, location) then Russia would fight. NATO got most of the war it wanted, but it's holding out for WWIII.
If Putin is incompetent, I guess it's going to be just that much more embarrassing when he wins against the combined efforts of NATO. One 'incompetent' leader against the 'best and brightest of NATO'. I the truth is NOT popular, but even the head of the Ukrainian military said he knew he could not get the weapons he needed to win because NATO didn't have it to give. Zelensky says he knows he could win if he could only get the massive number of advanced weaponry he wants. AAAAAAAAaaannnnndddd...he's not getting it.
That's why Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Biden's brother, Pelosi's son, Schumer's son, and some relative of Mitt Romey are all dirty there. That's why Burisma, that's why the Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election (which was blamed on Russia). The hub of evil supplying money laundering services (our 'foreign aid' is parceled out and I'm sure Biden gets his 10%) and a host of criminal enterprises, in a nation guarded by a military with a neo Nazi core. Propping up the Ukraine props up the DNC, Biden Regime, Dem leadership and Deep State. It's painful to see how the Ukrainian citizens are tormented by all those who want to use their country for criminal activities. So while I wish the Ukrainian people may get their country back one day, right now it's the Deep State's handmaiden and I hope Putin destroys it's evil Deep State heart and the people can choose an actual leader.
Spoken like a good liberal.
I support America.
Absurd! That is a Kremlin talking-point, nothing more!

Study up on the topic. It’s no secret, really. I’ve seen that info in conservative circles from a wide variety of sources.
“The Russians in eastern Ukraine decided to go their own way.”
No one was stopping them from just walking across the border to Russia, where they could be as Russian as they wanted. But they did NOT have the right to take Ukrainian territory with them as if it were a steamer trunk.
“As if you knew anything about Russians other than what you see on CNN.”
Too funny. I haven’t seen CNN since the first Gulf War in 1991. But that was probably before your time.
Nuclear saber rattling — which is what Russia ALWAYS does — is the sign of a weak and insecure blusterer, which Russia clearly is.
You can dislike Ukraine, and find criticism with its government, etc.; but you are supporting Russia’s invasion of a smaller and weaker country that posed no threat to Russia. That’s the stuff of bullies. And you are supporting a bully in Russia by siding with Russia in its invasion of Ukraine. I support the smaller and weaker victim of that bullying. It’s no more complicated than that.
I was beginning a family in 91.
Then act like it.
Because you regularly hyperventilate and sensationalize here on FR. I hope you don’t terrify your kids with such drama.
Clutch your pearls harder.
“what nation would be stupid enough to side with a loser like Putin at this point?”
China, Pakistan,Belarus, North Korea, Iran for starters.
And as WW3 progressed, all of the Arab countries, India, much of Africa, the global south, Serbia. All of the SCO.
Nations that would be stupid enough to side with Biden, as you apparently do on this, are the EU, Australia, Japan, South Korea, UK.
Which side do you think will win?😂😂😂😂
“Spoken like a good liberal.
I support America.”
You are a self-proclaimed “super patriot” and you’re full of it.
We are staring at a nuclear war, and all you can say is “I support America” while rolling out WWIII for Ukraine.
That is NOT supporting America. You should be ashamed of yourself, and apologize to all Americans who would rather not play “nuclear brinksmanship” for Ukraine, and for the MIC, and for Biden.
Shame on you.
Russia has not been attacked and no one is trying to defeat or take the country. The moron Invaders who attacked the Ukraine and claiming land grabs need to get back inside their border, fix what they’ve destroyed in their hitleresque destroy it mentality and worry about their country internals.
No one is invading them and no one wants their pitiful land. Only thing Russia needs to be defended from is their rulers.
“Clutch your pearls harder.”
Nice try, son. Your comment is not only non-responsive to what I said, it is meaningless in its context. But, that is so typical of you.
I remember you: You are the shameless self-promoter who has a glossary of his self-ordained “Greatest Hits” on his profile page. I mean, no one but a vain blowhard who is full of insecurity would do such a thing; a neon sign screaming, “Look at me! Me! ME!!!”
Get over yourself.
Go stare at your behind you idiotic self impressed dope. The United States of America wouldn’t exist if we listen to every crying liberal like you tell us that the world is going to end every time we stand up to Russia or some other villain in this world.
Don’t tell me what I am you have your opinions I can’t help with that you have become cowardly left wing and anti-American.
Russia is a pos country run by a lunatic dictator and I will not bow down to kiss any foreign despot.
The fact that you no longer take such an idea seriously demonstrates that you have just become a pathetic left wing tool.
Have a nice day.
