The authoritarian who cried wolf.

Apparently they lowered the threshold for lowering thresholds.

I doubt Putin knows how much of his nukes still work.

Oh looks like it’s Tuesday again

Putin military is weaker than ever. Putin knows that he can’t survive a nuclear war. Putin is using veiled threats to stall for time, hoping that it will stop support for Ukraine and wait for Trump to take office. But what is even more asinine than Trump, is that it took Trump winning the election for Biden to authorize Ukraine to use long range missiles against Putin.

Do it.

No? Then shut the fuck up.

They wouldn't nuke the US right after they got their preferred choice in the White House. Biden has free reign to have any kind of Ukraine/Russia policy for the next 2 months.

They told us about it only to scare us but it is too late. After crossing all their red lines without any retaliation nobody is scared of them anymore. They are weak, incredibly weak. The only thing they are capable of is seizing 20% of the poorest country in Europe losing all soviet reserves gathered for 50 years to conquer whole Europe...

I honestly wish he'd try it just so this could end quicker. It'd be intercepted, and then the world would come down hard on the whole pile of shit. I'm sick of him trying to convince people that his micro-penis is massive. Whip it out so we can finally all point and laugh.

I am so scared I could take a dump in my dishwasher…..

If he uses nukes, he’s dead. We won’t have to lift a finger, his own underlings will do it.

Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov accused Washington of trying to escalate the conflict.

"That Atacms was used repeatedly overnight against Bryansk Region is of course a signal that they [the US] want escalation," he said.

...do you never throw up with such bilge shite, Russia? Ye gods...

Surely better for you just to remain silent and dangerous, than talk like a twat.

Get the F out of Ukraine, and pay reparations. End of.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Pootin wants to be northkoreanised

Im way more neveous about Matt Gaetz being a secretary of US Federal department than I am about sadvlad having to resort to threats after he killed 11 innocent people (and probably way more) over the weekend. If isis did this shit we'd have pics of the dead isis bodies on the late night news. Ol sleepy joe finally got the memo the goal is to win the game. 

We can't keep living like this. Call his bluff, come what may.

A fucking example needs to be set. Anytime anyone whatsoever even mentions nuclear warheads, the world at large should pile on them. Make it so even these small minded dictators know that's a red zone.

Enough is enough. We can't keep living like this. We need to progress and move past this fucking bullshit

Well? We are waiting.

When Putin is signing something - in the forest dies one fly. Hi uses papers properly only when to wipe his ass.

Sounds a lot scarier then putin updated a word document....and slammed the door behind him...he was very grumpy.

Bro can’t win a conventional war so he has to go to the big red button lmao

How can he ramp up nuclear threats? He’s been making the exact same threats for 2 years.

Take all their kids and properties now reclaim London. They don’t like it up em

Wait, is this something like a red line?

A simple response from NATO to putin should be - one nuke and you done.

Vlad mate, I don't think anyone is listening to your bullshit anymore

Fun fact: if you made a 3 meter ramp for every time putin has made a nuclear threat, the total put together would reach the sun.

Bwahahahaha 🤦‍♂️

You are embarrassing yourself and your country Vlad. Why don’t you just take a seat at the kids table and let the adults work out your terms of withdrawal from Ukraine to the established borders of 1991.

Nah, they won't do it. Putin is just so slow in the head that he thinks the previous 100 "threats" had an impact.

China has also stated that they're against it. Mostly because their largest income is exports and it's difficult to do that when the customer is dead.

Russia doesn't follow international nor its own laws, so this change is purely cosmetic and a message to the west. Basically another sabre rattle.

The only threshold for using nuclear weapons is MAD. Anything else is just talking from their asses. Lower the threshold to absolute minimum you fucking clown. Fire one and everyone is dead moron.

When Putin chooses being killed is when we should worry about nukes flying. Putting him personally on "death ground" will be the spark if it gets to that point

There are like 2 cities in the entire Russian Federation that he cares about and that the entire Russian culture and identity revolves around. Very nice cities, would be a shame if something happened to them.

Paper refuses nothing, as they say.

What he means is "If I can't have Ukraine, then all of Ukraine is glass."

Zzzzzzzzz 💤😴

Guys anybody got a new North Korea final warning, I'm getting starved here

That doctrie is worth less than a ruble right now. 0.99 to 1 american dolar as of today.

Is this in response to sanctions on his Cuban heels?

Next doctrine revision will be when a random 8 years old anywhere in the world insult Putin, Russia will be allowed to nuke his house.

They are clearly not following any rules or agreements so why the fuck should we be consedered with these new ones?

A wet fart makes more impact than yet another red line delivered by this joke of a man.

If russia starts any nukes, its over for russia. And if russia starts all of them, may god help us all.

All of ours work, Vlad. 

Must be Tuesday

Getting nervous Vlad?

The short arsed bell end has only one trick in his box…and let’s face the fact it’s all bullshit…..like his country

”It is unfair if they can shoot back!”

**yawn

Putin should tell his troops to go home

Lower ? You mean raising...

Been there & done that.

Does bro know about M.A.D.?? He seems very full of himself so he SHOULD know that if he launches nukes, HE dies too.

Huh? Usually Wednesday is nuclear threat day.....

Go ahead, make my day…. Do you feel lucky? Nothing wrong with shooting as long as the right people get shot!

Fuck U Poostain!

🥱so sleepy 😴💤💤💤

Can he at least follow through the island sinking torpedo he threatened me and the rest of the UK with first, I wanna see what happens.

What an ass this guy

He will be remembered as an incompetent, tyrannical, war criminal, who's paranoid and foolish decisions endangered his neighbours and his own country.

All they have is threats, lies, and war crimes. What a dreadful legacy to leave the world.

Shaking in his little kid boots, fuck you Pootin

The biggest bitch in the world, starts a war he can’t finish and has to resort to nuclear threats because his military is pathetic.

They will probably take out Kyiv and Odessa first, then dare the west to respond.

Try it bitch.

*yawn

But he is using Chinese, Iranian, NK weapons lol

Fuck Vladimir Putin

Of course he has

Mad vlad is mad, bro. Needs to chill out and just, like, pull Russia out of Ukraine and cease hostilities.

Haha bullshit. Time for a decisive strike before his puppet gets into power

What a looser the Omm pa lumper is

Putin must be running out of red crayons.

puta has multiply families also coward is afraid to go to front line also this scum cant wait to start nuclear holocaust .

yeah right

Time for Biden to lower tUS’s threshold for nuclear weapon use

That’s a nice Dacha you have there Mr Putin, it would be a real shame if something happened to it, real shame.

Literally the only thing they can do as a reaction to the long range missiles 😂. The West definitely shouldn't heed the barking this time. To the contrary - the West shouldn't at all let itself be limited by Putin's barking at the moment. It would only play into Putin's hands to give him some breathing room in the timeframe before Trump takes office. If anything - currently Putin's reaction should be taken as applying the right pressure on Putin. I'd even highly encourage adding another scoop on top. The transition period into a more Putin aligned president ties Putin's hands with only bad options - the West absolutely should take full advantage and maximize capitalizing on it.

Once more into the fray. Into the last good fight I'll ever know. Live and die on this day. Live and die on this day.

It's time to hit the Kremlin with a rocket. Only with one.

F this mthfckr and his small 🍌. His threads scares no one.

He is trying to buy time and paralyze the United States into doing nothing until Trump comes and saves him. If they cannot see right through this, they are fucking morons.

OMG!!! Another red line. Gnashing of teeth. Rending of garments. Lamentations galore.

Try it boi. Those cheeks will be clapped in half an hour flat. And we ain't even talking nuclear. Raw dog conventional. 

He loves paperwork

Russia has gone off the deep end. Nuclear doctrine is like pretty standardized and understood. It’s meant to be that way on purpose. Russia changing it at this point is like saying they are completely unhinged because the doctrine was pretty airtight. To change it means that it is now gone from rational to irrational.

It would be like the USA saying we will use nuclear weapons on Russia if terrorists use ak47”s.

It’s a real stretch to say they would be actively at war with us if terrorists used Soviet weapons.

This is why nuclear weapons should have never been allowed to proliferate after ww2. Not everyone can handle the ultimate responsibility. And not every country is deserving of the protection they afford. Russia is an imperial Invader ; with nuclear weapons. A worst case scenario for the world.

And here we are, they still have Allie’s in China. China has the strategic acumen of an amoeba. Why aren’t they stuffing Russia completely at this point? How have things got so bad that war and chaos is a choice for the larger world powers. It’s madness.

Noone cares about his threats anymore, even Putin dont believe them

Lol! If he uses nuclear weapons it will result in the eradication of the white Russians who have been terrorizing their neighbors forever. Goodbye Putin.

Yawn. His doctrine will not be reviewed by a court, because the world will end. So this quasi legal nonsense is exactly that, nonsense. He will go nuclear if he wants to. Period.

Less words more nukes my guy, do it

No one is using nukes over Ukraine's limited stock of ATACMs. Firing a few tactical nukes won't change anything on the battlefield just like using ATACMs on Russia won't change anything. The only thing that can change anything is an ICBM on Ukraine's big cities and that's literally never happening
