Your wikipedia article doesnt seem to have an understanding of what a red line is:
>Crossing a red line to the Russian Federation is often identified as being an action that damages Russian national interests.
It's a bit more than just that.
- ceejayoz 2y agoI welcome your "not a red line" interpretation of quotes like these: > Dmitry Medvedev, who serves as deputy chairman of Putin’s powerful security council, was more explicit in January. “The defeat of a nuclear power in a conventional war may trigger a nuclear war,” he said. - https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/06/01/ukraine-f-16s-biden-russia-escalation/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/06/01/... > Anticipating international condemnation and countermeasures, Putin issued a stark warning to other countries not to meddle, saying, “whoever tries to impede us, let alone create threats for our country and its people, must know that the Russian response will be immediate and lead to the consequences you have never seen in history.” https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/russia-launches-attacks-ukraine-as-putin-warns-countries-who-interfere-consequences-you-have-never-seen https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/russia-launches-attacks-u...
- pydry 2y agoThe first one is a red line but not one that is close to being crossed, since Ukraine is losing the war quite badly. The second is an extremely vague threat not to mess with Russia. There is no line drawn at all, red or otherwise. Do you see a hidden code in these statements or something? I dont see what you're getting at at all.
- perching_aix 2y agoYou forgot that in the first quote he's not even addressing the situation in Ukraine, since that's only a special military operation, right? Also a chocolate cookie recipe please.
- pydry 2y agoWell there you go then. The red lines are a dot to you.
