    Welp there goes my fucking sleep for tonight. I wish Washington and Langley alone would somehow disappear off the face of the earth and solve half the problems in the world overnight.

    Why the fuck does the rest of the world have to risk a nuclear extinction (and a climate one, honestly) just because the US are too fucking stupid and greedy to let go of a single cent in the world.

      If all you had were regular warheads I’d be cheering on Americans playing chicken to their fucking grave but nuclear war would kill me too, get the fuck outta here with that.

      At this point, death to America isn’t a radical slogan, it’s in self defense.

      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?

        The favorite weapon of the westoid, acting like the biggest imbecile in the world and claiming history starts not when they choke you, but when you break their wrist so you can breathe.

        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.

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

    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.
