Of course they are threats, but only stupid person would take them seriously. And nuclear war will be end of the world so no need to worry about it - the people pretend to be scared by conventional war. By this logic Erdogan wants to restore the Ottoman empire and right now is busy invading Syria - is he a threat too?
- aguaviva 2y agoOf course they are threats, but ... Meaning: "Of course he is threatening, but ..." after you just said "He isn't capable of even threatening". Can't you just acknowledge that it wasn't the best choice of language you used up front?
- ReptileMan 2y agoNo. Threat as a verbal construct and threat as a danger are different things. Putin can give verbal threats, but doesn't have the infrastructure to make them threatening. A pomeranian barking when angry is not threatening but funny. So is Putin
- aguaviva 2y agoThreat as a verbal construct and threat as a danger are different things. This is just weird, verbal gymnastics. I don't lose any sleep over Putin either. But there's nothing in the least funny about him, or what he says.
