This kind of threat from Russia, which started this war a year ago and has been threatening from the beginning, is a good indication Putin is not a friend or savior of civilization.
He’s a dangerous lunatic.
This latest threat is just to keep NATO from providing tanks. Worst mistake would be to give Putin what he wants.
Russia is our enemy. If he wants to become more dangerous, all the more reason to isolate and defeat him.
If Russia uses any nuclear weapon, Russia could not possibly survive the escalation.
I admit Putin is dangerous, because he’s an idiot as well as a thug.
“This kind of threat from Russia, which started this war a year ago and has been threatening from the beginning, is a good indication Putin is not a friend or savior of civilization. He’s a dangerous lunatic.”
Which is in line with the following article from Newsweek:
Speaking on the state Rossiya-1 channel, presenter Vladimir Solovyov made the claims after saying Moscow was “moving from a special military operation mode to a completely different mode.”
In a clip posted to Twitter, the state television anchor said Russia is “up against 50 countries that are united by Satanism,” according to a translation.
Terms such as “holy war” and linking Satanism to the Russian invasion of Ukraine have frequently appeared in Russian discourse around the war.
Solovyov, a known ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has previously said Russia was engaged in a “holy war” against “Satanism.”
“We are fighting against Satanists. This is a holy war and we have to win,” he said on the latest state television broadcast.
His words echoed similar comments he made back in December, when he said the country was living through “latter days.”
“What’s happening in Ukraine won’t stay in Ukraine,” he added. “A holy war is underway. We’re fighting for the right of mankind to live in its original state, as designed by the Creator.”
These folks are straight out of the Dark Ages. However, I think there are enough sane Russians that will step in and prevent this kind of lunacy from gaining any traction.
“If Russia uses any nuclear weapon, Russia could not possibly survive the escalation.”
You think we can?
This is absolute lunacy, which is why its got a better chance of happening than anyone should be comfortable with.
What for? Ukraine?
If Russia uses nukes, they already have decided they cannot survive.
That’s why they would use them.
If we keep escalating....well don’t make too many vacation plans just yet.
Also do you happen to live on the east coast? Asking for a friend...
Like sauntering into a McDonald's and telling the order-taker, "If my McFlurry isn't cold enough, I'm going to shoot up this place!"
Disproportionate threat. The sign of an unhinged mind.
