- elygre 14d agoAs would the special military operation. Three days short, it was promised.
- nullorempty 14d agoWell, then may be you should volunteer.

- carefree-bob 14d agoThat was promised by US General Miley, not by any Russian official or citizen. So we have in this nugget an example of why you shouldn't trust western media, but not an example of why the west wont fold like a cheap deck.
- elygre 14d agoSome people said two days, some said ten days. Russian officials thought they would get a short war, and they were wrong. Wikipedia will point you to a bunch of references. A Russian war with Europe would not be the short war that the original poster alludes to by invoking statements from a Russian official.
- cosmicgadget 13d agoOh it was Milley who sent the Russian column of armor toward Kyiv with no logistical support. Thank you for clearing that up.
- azan_ 14d agoIndeed, Europe would roll over russia really quickly.

- azan_ 14d agoI'd rather just pay for Ukrainian drones. Maybe you'll even run into one when you get mobilized!
- nullorempty 14d agoYou should really commit more skin to the game since your believes are so strong. Or are you so weak and cowardly that you want innocent Ukranians to go to war for your believes!
- azan_ 14d agoWhat are you talking about? Ukraine did not go to war for my beliefs, they got attacked by you and they die because of you.

- perrygeo 14d agoRead between the lines. He's saying "Mess with us, we'll nuke you." They mean it. Putin is desperate enough to do it. Anyone responding to this with Euro-bravado is an idiot. Some of y'all didn't grow up during the cold war and your blind spot is showing. No one wins in a nuclear war.
- polotics 14d agoSo what do you think the rational response to the nukebullies should be? Give him all he wants? How are reasonable deterrence preparations "Bravado"?
- perrygeo 13d agoDeterrence is exactly what we should be doing. Many responses here were some variation of "he'd never try" or "let him try, we'd win". That's not deterrence - that's ignorance and provocation, respectively.
- notaigenerated 14d agoThey never mean it, it's a threatening tactics. Their children live in western countries and their money is there. They wouldn't allow nuking western countries just like that. ESPECIALLY if they know they attacked first. Even their own doctrine doesn't allow using nukes for anything except the direct external threat to their statehood.
- tim333 14d agoRussia has been making that sort of threat roughly weekly for a decade or two. It's kind of their thing. They are unlikely to nuke Europe - there's a lot of it and they only really have a couple of decent cities which could be gone rapidly.
- cosmicgadget 13d ago> “We’ve said repeatedly that we have no intention of attacking Europe. Russian President Vladimir Putin recently addressed this issue in detail, emphasizing that we have no interest in doing so,” he said. Where have I heard this before?
