This is the only way to get the conflict to end, let the Ukrainians really hit back so that the Russians are pressured for peace. Without that pressure the invasion of Ukraine will continue indefinitely.
Cry harder Putin.
He’s just gotta pull out but I guess he wants the bouncing baby bomb in his arms.
Vyacheslav Volodin, the chairman of the State Duma, the lower house of parliament, and a close ally of President Vladimir Putin, said Moscow would be forced to use “more powerful and destructive weapons” against Ukraine if Kyiv started firing long-range Western missiles at Russia.
Hey Vyacheslav, what weapons besides nuclear (and maybe biological) weapons does russia have that it hasn’t used against Ukraine already? Do you think if you use a nuclear weapon against Ukraine that that ends the war? Do you think the rest of the world will just say “welp, I guess russia used a nuke, better let them have Ukraine now”. Not even close.
It’s a nuke threat. Again.
Russia uses nukes in Ukraine to “win” the war. Now they control land that has large swaths that are completely unlivable and non-productive for farming. And the “livable” parts Russia would have to spend huge sums of money to re-build the infrastructure from the blast(s).
Even if the rest of the world let’s them get away with that (which I doubt they would) it doesn’t seem like a very good strategy.
Also, fallout moves, and they’re literally next door.
Their water supplies would destroyed.
If they nuke Ukraine into oblivion, they’re not spending a single kopeck building it back. They’ll engineer a second Holodomor to “get their money’s worth” before that.

“if you guys call me ‘little bitch’ 13 or 14 more times I am OUT of here!”
Quality reference!
How many warnings of escalation are we up to?
If they could escalate, shouldn’t they do that on their own home soil and the Ukrainian frontlines?
For realisies this time! >:(
“If you hit me again I’m gonna really be mad this time”
But I will continue to hit you though. Just don’t hit back, or else!
There used to be a joke in Russia called “China’s final warning” because of the hundreds of times China used to threaten a “final warning” to whoever it perceived (correctly or otherwise) as encroaching on its politics or territories, and then promptly did absolutely nothing.
The joke is in danger of defecting and getting a new name.
It always had a new name over here. It was both Russia’s and China’s last warning depending on which one you said.
Where’s “here”? I’m in the UK and only discovered that there had been a specific saying, in (Soviet) Russia, about (contemporaneous) China, very recently. Maybe it was a joke I wasn’t privy to or heard but was too young to appreciate at the time.
(As to how I discovered it recently: I had been looking for a name or “law” for the concept of constantly making vague or empty threats - it’s kind of like crying wolf, but not - and somehow ended up the Wikipedia article on “China’s final warning”.)
Everyone does it. How many “final warnings” has the US given to Israel?
Seriously, short of a nuke, how much can he actually escalate? He’s basically thrown what he can at them without risking any other front. This is an empty threat.
Imagine if Russia had any nukes with plutonium left in them!
I imagine they still have fissile material in them, since that is hard to move without intelligence agencies catching wind. Other parts, rocket fuel, etc. very well may have been stolen.
But we should treat them as though they still have nukes, even if we think our defenses could overcome them.
Ok guys we got the daily escalation threat
Do it. Touch my boats. I fucking dare you.
lol you watch fat electrician don’t you?
