    So many incredibly stupid takes in comments. This is not a game. This is not a fucking Netflix special. The escalation ladder is so easy to go up, but so hard to climb down. This is a terrifying development.

        I won’t bother listing the countries the US has bombed invaded or overthrown governments in the last oh I dunno 100 years

          Maybe Iran and North Korea shouldn’t have made such an obvious and stupid choice to escalate the conflict by allowing Russia to use their weapons?

              Serious question here, but how exactly do you think the world should deal with a dictator armed with nukes? Capitulate at every single threat?

                I don’t know how the world should deal with Biden, truly. Russia is not the power that is issuing threats. NATO did exactly what they recognized for decades would push Russia to invade. Ask how Russia should deal with a foreign power covertly manipulating their neighbor’s politics to elevate Nazis who would go on to bomb Russian speakers.

      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.

        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.

    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’

      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.

      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.
