Not quite enough for a similar article to this:

Every day same thing.

FFS their flag has a red line in it.

I'll believe him when he's windmilling his pitiful pud and frothing at the mouth. Maybe. 🖕🏼

A red line a day, keeps Medvedev at bay.

I actually went out looking for a previous thread, and I found this, which ran up until this summer:

https://united24media.com/war-in-ukraine/a-timeline-of-russias-nuclear-threats-against-the-west-947

That has about 100, though I'd call some questionable, and extends to threats predating the invasion, so you'd need to trim it for things specific to Ukraine.

no tools

Its the same thing with narc parents. They got nothing but the roof over your head so all day they make threats about it. They abuse the tiniest bit of power incessantly to create a dopamine skinner box of a life for themselves

Which one?

This week, you mean?

They just had a catastrophic failure when they tried to rattle their saber recently. They can't even launch a single ICBM for intimidation.

I think we've established at this point the Russian military is more of a pointy stick than a sabre

At the moment? Yes.

But Pootie-Boo there never meant to stop with just Ukraine. Which is why NATO was expanding so much so quick.

MAD exists between two nuclear armies. If you nuke us we'll nuke you back. Ukraine gave up it's nukes (from the Soviet era). No country will ever make that mistake again.

It's still a deterrent, just not here.

Probably along with the rest of us.

This is an age-old myth. If any of Puta's nuclear delivery systems were actually successful in delivering the largest payload in their arsenal and detonating it, greater than 99% of the global population of humans would remain unharmed, even long term. And the likelihood that even one would be successful is exceedingly low.

While we certainly don't want thousands killed in a single strike, ruining an area for years and causing global panic, we are exceptionally prepared to prevent the very few that take flight from making it to their destination.

The best shot at a detonation Putler has is driving the device to a target in a well-disguised box truck, just like any other terrorist.

Aside from nationalistic pride, there are several practical reasons:

1. Azof sea + Crimean peninsula are a natural chockepoint for Russia's exports from the river Don, basically all Russia's black sea inports and exports pass though there

2. Donbass is incredibly rich in mineral resources

3. Ukraine's ports are where the largest Soviet Union ships were built, Russia can't build larger frigades/aircraft carriers without Ukraine's facilities (mainly Mykolaiv port I believe).

4. The dominance over the black sea is extremely important for Russia, as it may affect both its nuclear deterrence and its control over Georgia which opens the gates to central asia (yes Turkey is in Nato but it plays its own game)

Also consider that Russia started the war hoping for a quick ukrainian capitulation, so they would have absorbed the hugely important ukrainian aerospace industry, and its massive farming industry.

They probably 'just' want the Donbass and the coast now, so the last point is no longer relevant, but it played a role in deciding to push forward with the invasion.

At some point the argument that consolidating more oil and pushing for more gas/oil monopoly would have been part of the play. But now, any unbelievably mediocre economist would just say the roi is somewhere 5 generations in the future (if at all) and the sunken cost fallacy is raping Russia liberally through all echelons.

Not really saying there is logic to the madness, other than some internal motivations (apart from delusions of grandeur imperialistic pursuits).

At this point, it's certainly more about appearances than actual statecraft.

Not sure what height has to do with anything.

He's a narcissist with delusions of grandeur and doesn't know when to give up. He's set both Russia and Ukraine back significantly with little to show for it so far.

Putin deserves to lose.

Yes, but I believe you about the fart.

Happy cake day also I’ve stopped counting the amount of times he’s done this.

Baseless fear mongering
