It’s almost as if the threat of long range missiles is scaring the shit out of Russia.
I hope NATO reply that if Russia turns Kiev into a melted spot, Moscow will follow. But to be fair it’s all ego saber rattling.
I believe America will kill Putin if he uses nuclear weapons on Ukraine, so I don’t think this will happen.

By installing a massive crater where Putin happens to be standing.
Who?

We really should sanction exporting alcohol to ruskys, if only to save ourselves from Dima’s delirium maddness.
I doubt that would help, unless you told Ukrainians to switch from bombing refineries to bombing distilleries at the same time.
But the high officials and oligarchs don’t want to drink vodka for commoners, they want wine, cognac & whisky from the west.
And they’ll still be able to source that no matter what. If Kim Jong Un can still get his Cognac, the elites in Russia would have no problem getting some crates through China.
Sure, that’s already happening even with the dual use supplies. But it will make the supplychain more complicated and less steady and it will give us more clout on the countries reselling to them(China doesn’t want lose access to the west, it’s more about Central Asia). It will also make it cost more, but that’s of no concern to these people.
Genuinely, though, I wonder how centralized their vodka industry is. A few bombs could cause a fairly major crisis if as many people are alcoholic as rumoured.
It’s probably better for Ukraine if alcoholism is still a societal problem in Russia. You don’t want to have to fight sober frontline soldiers.
True, though it might be a temporary advantage to create an acute crisis at a key time. Something to keep in the back pocket maybe. NCD stuff.
Russia’s Medvedev doesn’t understand that even without massive retaliation for doing that… wind is a thing.
Let’s just fast track Ukraine into NATO and be done with it.
Turkey and other shithole dictatorship loving countries are blocking it.
Unfortunately this requires 100% participation
Well that is an interesting development

Seriously how the fuck does half the world think Russia are the good guys.
They’re probably not even allowed to see the bullshit Russia threatens us with.
Half the world doesn’t think that.
It’s the same reason why half of the U.S. supports our wannabe Putin. These turds allow people like that to fly their intolerance/ignorance/racism/etc. flags and have absolutely no repercussions whatsoever. They are people with no empathy at all.
Fascists and “strongmen” appeal to the weak and insecure.
Old man shakes fist at cloud ?
At the same time, Medvedev said “a nuclear conflict is really not needed by anyone,” adding that: “It is obvious that a nuclear response is an extremely difficult decision with irreversible consequences.”
Ha! Hahahahahaha! Get fucked! The only reason you say that is because the US already told you that any kind of nuclear attack would result in a good old round of “fuck around and find out”!
Must feel bad to be emasculated that hard.
Take note that this is from the government that the MAGA Republicans support.
This, to them, is honor and strength - to invade a sovereign nation, then threaten to drop nuclear bombs on them for daring to fight back.
That’s the world the MAGA Republicans want - one in which they and their allies are fully entitled to do whatever they want to whoever they want, and the only choices others are to be granted are to submit or die.
