Because I’ve seen many online reactions to this now and fear just isn’t one of them; which was kinda the whole point in using an ICBM in the first place.
Though granted, it’s a world first to use an ICBM in combat. But Russia has used up all its credibility… boy who cried wolf.
I'm not suggesting any sort of "appeasement," but characterizing this as an empty threat doesn't seem accurate or helpful.
Requires steely resolve, not flippant dismissal.
"Cost per missile is about $500,000, which is $5 M in inflation adjusted 2023."
but yes, power, factories and Oil/Gas needs to be hit. hard.
Escalation.
Meanwhile in Gaza where an actual genocide is taking place... American and European weapons used to kill some 20,000 kids, mostly those in pre school
Gaza has nothing to do with this.
In one section you argue Russia is a illegal occupier. Which is true, but in Gaza we don't accept Israel as an occupier.
Your thinking reinforces western ideas of exceptionalism
I'd also argue, can you understand why Cuba with missiles was a red line for America?
but Putin is not talking, he's invading.
How do you propose to change that?
You think expanding NATO towards Russia post cold war was a good idea?
Post cold war Russia was finished, economically and structurally.
This Ukraine war has reinvigorated Russia
Nice try Kremlin bot.
My lifetime has seen the west war almost every year and caused financial crashes in its pursuit of absolute economic dominance.
International Law, world order, trade alliances should be words to inspire, not the law of the jungle. It will end with any tinpot dictator waving nuclear weapons with ultimatuns
So, I repeat; talk all you want. Hard cold steel will do the work.
I think the idea of a russian empire was a shit idea, and the sooner ORCs understand it’s doomed the better.
On the other hand, Ukraine is only defending itself... so...
Fyi I think Russia is an extreme right wing oligopolistic country.
But hey just because that's true does not mean we must be confrontational?
Neither EU nor the US has any interest being at war or any kind of conflict against Russia.
Western countries are purely abiding by the Budapest Memorandum.
Russian propaganda is making it as a war against the West for their own internal audience.
Ukraine was invaded, their allies are helping. Nobody pushed them (except Muscovy).
So who is pushing Moscow? Are you saying they are Chinese puppets?
I mean, if they aren't now, they are going that route soon, so maybe there...
But in my case I'm not the devil from christianity lol
💙💛🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦💙💛
Everything else they stood for can suck toes
This is purely for show—Putin rattling sabers and threatening nuclear escalation. Again.
Putin is a gangster, not an ideologue/fanatic. The West has to make it clear that using a nuclear weapon will be his end.
