      Almost 25 years of that attitude from the US is how this war started in the first place[1], and now hundreds of thousands are dead or injured and millions are displaced.

      “Spokesperson, issue more empty threats! Surely this time they will finally take me seriously!”

        You’d think the West would have taken it seriously after Crimea was annexed. But even after losing most of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson, there are still imperial core labor aristocrat clowns like you, still failing to read the room.

    In a parallel universe, I would like to witness an official sarcastic response.

    ‘U.S. eager to witness Russia’s awesome destructive power in person after Oppenhiemer success. Government announces free UV glasses for safe viewing. Populace hopeful for a swift end to capitalism after nuclear winter’

      If Russia starts nuking shit, wouldn’t Russia be starting ww3?

      Or are we supposed to just accept the implication that only western countries have agency?

        I doubt Russia will actually use nukes, what with MAD and all.

        Then again, people said the same thing about the invasion. Russia doesn’t have a no-first-use nuclear weapons policy like the USSR did, so they could use them if they deem the country to be under existential threat.

        This is clearly a response to the US allowing strikes inside Russia.

        Interesting timing to do that when Ukraine, Germany and Russia have been gearing up to negotiate an end to the war next year. Wonder if this is to give the west more leverage in the negotiations or to escalate to give the republican admin next year a tougher time.

          So you’re saying Russia has never struck inside Ukraine. Or somehow The US started the war in Ukraine.

          Or is it just a freaking stupid idea that one nation can attack another. And expect them not to retaliate.

          Threatening nuclear war under these circumstances is definitely an interesting timing.

    Honestly I just find it laughable. 1, because there are more nuclear red lines behinds us than I care to count. And 2, if the last Russian missile test is anything to go by, I’m more worried about a giant chain reaction blowing up all of Russia.

      I’m pretty sure they don’t care about being noticed, and would rather the US and the West fuck off entirely from affairs that don’t involve them.
