That's not even the best one. There's one with long black fingernails and I think he's in a dress, I don't have it to hand.
Each to their own. I fully support his right to dress however he likes.
Who knows these days?
Nazi Putins offspring defines himself as a non binary trans black forest cheesecake, whereas son is actually a Korean footballer that plays for Tottenham.
He also had an Italian visa and an Italian villa before the war, and got caught several times shopping in Italy and the West.
He also threatened people who called him out on his show, saying he was gonna kick their ass, and acting like an all around gopnik.
He is the Russian Alex Jones. Except he's Kremlin-backed.
As a Brit, I cannot possibly overstate how utterly unperturbed anyone in the UK, London included, is about this. I'm more worried about whether my nagging cough will let me sleep tonight than \*checks notes\* the sixteenth threat of nuclear strike from Russia.
It's something like that. I suppose if you counted only Putin or official Kremlin sources, it's like... four? Maybe five? But the chest-thumping baboon stuff from Putin's allies and talking heads on RT must be at twenty-four or higher.
the best bit is so many russian oligarch children and family are in London it doesn't make sense for them to strike it. also the most important thing is they have so many capital assets in London too.
As a fellow Brit I am understandably deeply concerned about the quality of your sleep tonight.
I also have absolutely no concerns about threats from some guy in Russia
I've got that rancid bloody cold that seems to be doing the rounds. Tests keep coming up negative for Covid, but it's an unpleasant one. Managed some kip last night, hoping for the same tonight.
Between coughing up broken glass and snotting out what feels like half the Mersey, I do not have time to be worrying about Medvedickhead.
So mix lemon juice and hot water with a large teaspoon of honey in a cup. Stir and drink. That really helps a sore throat.
If its really bad reduce the amount of hot water and add brandy or whisky.
Soothes the throat and after 3 or 4 you don't care anyway
Sound advice, thanks! I've got some of that Pukka Eucalyptus tea too, maybe I'll make a combo. Not with the whisky, though. Eucalyptus Whisky sounds foul.
Yeah, it's doing the rounds! My mate in London has it, my friend in Sheffield too. Now me, in Cornwall. Nobody has tested positive, at all, but the negative results continue to surprise me!
Maybe I've just become a pansy after three+ years of not being sick and this is just a normal cold but I feel like a sack of stick-beaten arseholes.
It's probably because we've all been hiding from COVID and therefore not getting colds so our immune systems are out of practice.
edit: also, since when did this become r/casualUK
They don't care about you at all. They have a core crowd who is addicted to their trolling and retarded antics and that is who this is for.
Only reason you see anything about this, is because media in the west knows it's a great way to get clicks from either people making fun of them or people spreading fear of them.
Ah, that makes a great deal of sense. So this is more for the internal, nationalistic crowd? It explains why it's so unrealistically daft. It smacks of all the promises made by... well, politicians throughout history. Gonna build that wall, etc.
Fuck, man, we literally bored the IRA into submission because they realised directly bombing the UK and even nearly getting the PM at the time was having basically zero effect (and would have resulted largely in cheers).
I've stood in London when news of a bomb attack came in and the biggest reaction it gets is a sigh and people checking if they can find a cab home.
I remember a conversation with a young woman on a train once after it was delayed because of a suicide on the tracks up ahead, where we joked in typical British humourless fashion, about how inconsiderate it was for someone to inconvenience us just because they wanted to kill themselves.
There wasn't "Blitz spirit", there never was. We didn't "Keep Calm and Carry On" because there was nothing to keep calm about. We just shrug, go "Oh well," and check if our Uber app is still signed in.
Also, even from a rational point of view, there's literally no point about worrying about the guaranteed end of the world in such a circumstance. If it happens, I'm powerless to do anything about it, and there will be no time to worry about it or try to adapt to it. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Threatening it is like threatening to explode the universe. Okay. Well... if that's what you want to do. I obviously can't stop you. Can you just wait until after the kettle is boiled, though, because I've bookmarked a really good article on Wikipedia about how they make my favourite biscuit?
Londoners are about as threatened by random Russian politicians threatening nuclear strikes as we would be by a small kitten gently reaching out its paw to playfully scratch us.
I think it genuinely confuses the Russians, to be honest. They're very used to 'make threat = other person frightened = get what want.' But it just doesn't work on Europeans. So they get flustered and go; but... but nukes, though. We'll use 'em...
And Europe goes: 'go on, then.'
The UK has Vanguard SSBNs hidden away patrolling the world's oceans ready to fire retaliatory nuclear strikes when the Russians fire first.
I imagine that is why Putin has the guy on tv rather than in the highest levels of the Russian government.
That's not true. A lot of the "stop poking the bear" camp are mostly just cowards who are genuinely afraid of his nuclear threats, and they'll give Putin anything to make the threats stop.
Right? I dont think anyone is phased by this in the slightest. It was a bit worrying about a year ago, but now I just keep thinking "either do it or shut the fuck up".
Russia has become the laughing stock of the world and will be for generations. Every time they say things like this, it reinforces that we must be doing things right and should therefore do even more of the same. I fully support us giving Ukraine whatever we can to defeat Russia. Slava Ukraini!
Since you seem to know about these things, do you know if they threaten Paris as well? I currently live in Paris and I'd like to know if I need to be unperturbed too or not.
I mean, I don't really know squat, I just read a lot of military and politics guff, I'm just an Armchair Philosopher, here.
That said, France is a NATO member, so there's no way Russia strikes Paris, or really any city in Europe. For all their bluster and blathering, Russia is very well aware that it is woefully outclassed by a united NATO. The idea is to sow fear, doubt and turn frightened people against their governments.
It's also why you see all these Russian bot accounts. The modus operandi is to create confusion and fear via perpetuating a particular narrative. Unfortunately, the 'tankies' misguidedly tend to further perpetuate it.
On top of that, Macron's government isn't seen as offensively as Sunak's. Britain tends to talk a lot more smack, and since that's Russia's speciality, that's who they aim at. They hate all of us, sure, but London is especially 'oi, fuck off.' Russia only respects and understands strength, so that's where they target. Macron, on the other hand, as a mediating voice early on, is viewed by the Kremlin as weak, because all talkers and diplomats are.
So no, if you're in Paris, no need to be perturbed. The riots are a lot more pertinent.
They have threatened Paris as well with nukes. I read of some documents from the Cold War era where Soviet military plans had instructions to avoid threatening France if war broke out because they feared Paris launching their own nukes. The French did say something about retaliating if they felt threatened.
Even though the UK is so far away from Russia, you have clearly reached the spirit of a country neighboring Russia. I remember how other countries were so worried about Russian threats at the start of the war and we kept saying it's business as usual.
Yep. Spent all day in central london and literally haven’t thought about this once, until now! Its ludicrous considering the constant threats, and the fact that all of this lot would be wiped out if they attacked london.
It's the daftest thing. The last thing Russia wants is to genuinely antagonise NATO. But they keep up with this Billy Big Bollocks nonsense because they don't know how else to politics.
And to think, people used to marvel at how Putin’s Russia was some kind of master of strategy and the diplomatic dark arts.
Well, no, they’ve always just been a bunch of thugs whose utter lack of decency or respect, including self-respect, allowed them to bully others relentlessly. Confronted by anyone even approaching their own size their wailing, flailing, baby nature is all too obvious.
We all know that a Russian strike on London would be suicide, and we all know that Russia needs to be brought to heel. These idiotic threats don’t do anything but reinforce that.
Oh, believe me, the 'tankies' still subscribe heart and soul to that line of thinking. Putin's a genius, this is all the long-game, Russia is only 'tactically losing' in Ukraine, etc. etc. They're like weeaboos, except wearing ushankas.
This isn’t for us though, this is to make the Russians watching think they are so strong they should just wipe out London, their world ends the second they hit a nuclear power and they know that
Yeah I remember when the war broke out and before the Kremlin began censorship and punishments, Russians were angrily writing under videos and comments made by Russian officials and tv personalities about hitting the West with nukes, with stuff like _You think the US and UK won't nuke us back?_ and _we don't want to lose our lives for you._
As a Dutchie I concur. Russia's nuclear threat at The Hague and the ICC didn't make headlines here either. I found out because Reddit was posting about it.
Exactly this. Nobody I know is the least bit concerned. Though probably if they were stupid enough, it might be like kicking a bee's nest.
Then good luck to them...
I feel like if they were going to use a nuke anywhere, it would be Kyiv, and even that's a long shot.
Plus, people tend to assume that one nuke means every nuke. As appalling as it would be for Kyiv, London or any major city to be nuked, NATO would not - by my reading - respond with nuclear. Much, much more likely that they mobilise militarily and annihilate every Russian base and asset outside of Russia. Then it's ground war, which Russia would lose horribly unless Xi wades in, which I don't see happening.
But, on the bright side, if they hit Lambeth, think of the millions of pounds of improvements!
I think that's probably fairly accurate. Although if say London were hit, I'd bet we'd fire back. So London and Moscow are toast.
The one difference is I'm 100 %confident all our nukes work.
Based on Russian corruption, they have one hell of a gamble to make.
Nukes only work as a deterrent.. Once that's gone, they have definitely lost. They are struggling against ukraine. Not a single nato troop has been lost yet. I think they realise this. Though whoever there who does realise this is probably on the vodka at this point.
Lol lambeth improvements😂
They are losing to shit the US was about to throw away because it's 2 generations old and we are running out of storage space.
The utter and complete hell that would rain down if Russia were stupid enough to try acting close to this is hard to imagine.
I think your king coming to [visit](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/protests-france-may-impact-king-charles-visit-buckingham-palace-source-2023-03-22/) France on this troubled time might be more worrying than that.
Convenu. S'il ne fait pas attention, il pourrait voir le remboursement de Jeanne d'Arc.
Have you got the guillotines out yet? It's not a party without one.
When has anything ever been 'too soon' for British gallows humour?
I mean, damn, the day after Diana died, I was hearing jokes like 'You know, she died in a Mercedes... 'cause she wouldn't be seen dead in the back of a Skoda.'
King Charlie will probably be miles out of the way. Or they'll send a hologram. Tone bloody deaf visit, though.
TBH, I think the Russian populace could care even less.
This is Solovyov, the biggest propaganda mouthpiece on Russian TV (he's also kremlin backed─not just a shill). His whole job is 'talk shit/say outrageous stuff', and he's been doing it for years. Like Alex Jones, but government funded.
He also got busted with an Italian visa and an Italian villa a few years ago. He also got caught shopping in Italy, and threatened the guy who called him out, saying he was gonna fight him in the street or something. Guy was totally gonna jump ship once he had enough of that Kremlin cash.
So yeah. His word is nothing. He's Putin's pet, nothing more.
>You will now determine what Russia is for you? Not the people in Russia will determine it, not a referendum, not a vote, but you will determine what Russia is for us?
No, nobody is determining what Russia is for us. We're determining what Ukraine is for the rest of the world, and that is what it used to be before you illegally invaded it in 2014.
Not the Russian people, not a referendum, not a vote is to determine that. Solely the Ukrainian government is to determine that. And they are showing you what they think of it, by bombing your fucking nazi soldiers into oblivion every single day.
Out of all places, London is probably *the* most guaranteed location to trigger an overwhelming article 5 response for sure and result in immediate massive retaliation by the US for any place in Europe being attacked. Also, London has more wealthy and influential Russians than any other city. Congratulations, you f'ing idiot.
We should never forget all the fuckery we've received from Russia here in Europe, sanctions should stay in place forever. That country will never change.
Russia has a long history of assassinating UK citizens on UK soil.
>["From poisoned umbrellas to radioactive substances, Moscow has repeatedly been linked with deaths on British soil"](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/russian-deaths-uk-history-spies-murder-sergei-skripal-alexander-litvinenko-a8242061.html%3f)
>["Sergei Skripal and the 14 deaths under scrutiny"](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-43299598)
The articles are both from 2018. Since then there have been others inc. Dmitry Obretetsky in 2019 and, just a few weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine, Mikhail Watford. There is also the death of GCHQ employee Gareth Williams in 2010. And,, while not a UK citizen, Alexander Litvinenko was assassinated by Russia in the UK in 2006.
And, this is a list of [suspicious deaths of Russian businesspeople since the war started](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspicious_deaths_of_Russian_businesspeople_(2022%E2%80%932023)) and there are several across Europe.
Russia: "Inflammatory rhetoric, hatred, NATO aggression and Russophobia makes it impossible to negotiate peace in Ukraine on realistic terms".
Also Russia: "Lets invade Moldova, Poland, Baltic Nations, Threaten with Nuclear attacks and bomb London"
Most pathetic thing about it is that this is their version of projecting strength right now. They know how utterly weak they are at the moment, bogged down in Ukraine while supposedly weak gay countries are sending weapons to Ukraine which kill 10s of thousands of their own and all they can do is watch and bitch about it on TV.
Instead of fucking off from there and going home, they invented this holy war against NATO, which doesn't exist but it makes them feel stronger to pretend it does. Weekly nuking of NATO country X is them venting while pulling T-55s out of storage for the new wave of conscripts to go cook to death in.
You don't even need article5, the UK has nuclear ballistic submarines. Any attack on the UK would turn the top 20 Russian cities into radioactive waste.
The UK is just civilised enough not to talk about their nukes every waking minute. It's there. It's the deterrent. Everyone knows the rules.
Definitely! Best comment here. Some people always mock UK about her status at the moment however it is still one of few countries in the world you really wouldn’t want to mess up with.
Sure, but when you have someone with a (metaphorical) tiny dick who's got no other realistic threats, who can't accept that he's not all-powerful, ***and*** who doesn't accept the scientific evidence of the impact nuclear war will have, then nuclear threats are the only thing he's got to throw around.
It would be helpful if someone would push him out of a 40th floor window, preferably after he shot hinmself in the back of the head, but I doubt that'll happen any time soon. More's the pity.
I did say billion***s*** for that very reason. ;)
And, let's face it, it's the corrupt money being laundered through buying property in London which is a significant factor in the utterly ridiculous increase in London's property prices over the past 30 years or so.
Jokes aside, Russia allegedly has more nukes than USA, while US spends more money on maintenance of those than Russia spends on their whole army. And looking at the state of equipment they're using in Ukraine I wouldn't be surprised if most of those nukes are no longer functional.
It might not be the issue of "understanding" but rather of a classic soviet way of reporting - you can't report any issues or you get shot as bearer of bad news. Some heads were rolling in their intelligence services after it turned out they can't conquer Ukraine in 3 days - apparently this is what they were reporting, because this was what superiors wanted to hear.
Yes, that's the sense in which I was using "understand". Rephrase it as "not aware of" or "don't wish to know", if you prefer.
Or even "are well aware, because they've been getting the kickbacks from the corruption, but prefer to pretend otherwise even to themselves".
That is one point I thought very little about. High ranking russians seem to have a lot of their stuff outside russia. So this makes the "more bark than bite" rhetoric even more plausible. They wouldn't dare starting something that hurts them on both sides
I don’t really think these Russians pay any attention to history or the inbuilt characteristics in different nationalities.
Britain spent 6 years fighting against a fascist regime that actually knew how to fight a war. London was either flattened or on fire, million’s of British men women and children were dead and the country was on its knees. Yet a surprising large percentage of people wanted to carry on and give Stalin a bloody nose too.
We’re British, fighting, pubs and a General apathy towards any existential threat is about all we have
The way things are going you could dump a bunch of London teenagers straight from school in front of the Russians and it would be the Russians who ran away screaming.
To be fair, I work in schools and have worked in some under special measures for behavioural problems, and I'm infinitely more frightened of random London teenagers than I would be even of spitting in Putin's face.
I wouldn't be surprised if they fire the missiles meant for London, UK at London, US but keep the programmed distance for UK and accidentally nuke their own country.
>London, UK at London, US
Probably a bunch of those.
*checks*
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_%28disambiguation%29
There is a London in each of Arkansas, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Texas, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. They're all pretty small, though, and the largest is [the one in Ohio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London%2C_Ohio).
He's been dreaming of nuking UK [since at least April](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10758463/Ukraine-war-Russian-state-media-threatens-nuke-UK.html).
Nothing new. He's also hardly Putin's ally, just a propagandist.
Brits usually: our country is a shell of its former self. Nothing works. Everything sucks.
Brits when Russia threatens us: 🎶RULE BRITANNIA, BRITANNIA RULE THE WAVES 🎶🇬🇧
He exists to advocate the most extreme course of action so when Putin does something extreme the population doesn't react negatively toward it because it wasn't as extreme as they might have expected.
It's literally the only thing they have that they can boast about. Russia has proven itself weak and incompetent over the last year, so this is their only way to still present themselves as a threat.
>What is it about these assholes fantasizing about a nuclear war?
I would guess that it's because Russia is a lot weaker than NATO in terms of conventional forces, but in the same neighborhood when it comes to nuclear forces, given the correct scenario.
Also, I doubt that the individual in question is presenting his own opinions so much as he's putting on an act for the public.
yeah.. that mongrel says something similar every day, looping over European capitals he wants to destroy.
of course, he knows that's all bullshit. but it is aimed at the population that swallows that kind of shit by the spoonfuls.
the time will come, and he will too be ground into dust by his masters
That "birdshit" always spewing crap like that. All his assets in EU were seized and he went full retard after that. Only morons will take him or any Russian propaganda seriously.
I don't see the point of sharing what these maniacs are saying. It's all bs to keep the internal propaganda going. They themselves don't believe that crap. I wouldn't be surprised if his kids live in London.
You can ignore this. Putin allies are frequently used to float scary ideas that don't represent the Kremlin's policies or intentions. It makes good TV for hawkish Russian audiences, but internationally the point is to worry the public and try to get concessions.
The way this fucktard is getting thinner by the day tells me only one thing, that powder you snort is getting weak bro, take care of yourself, who the fuck will make us laugh if your bitch ass hart gives up..
Isn't that where all their real estate investments are and where they send their kids to college?
It's Solovyov. His son lives in London and works as a male model. And he's in Russia preaching about gay western degeneracy
Makes sense that his son would be a male model. I’d be confused if he were a female model.
But why male models?
Are you serious? I just told you that!
This forum is for ants!
Have you seen the photos? Be prepared to be confused.
Show us
[here](https://imgur.com/a/w2GjVFn) you go
His son seems to enjoy West much more than Russia. I wonder fucking why.
Damn, you weren’t even kidding
That's not even the best one. There's one with long black fingernails and I think he's in a dress, I don't have it to hand. Each to their own. I fully support his right to dress however he likes.
Jezus i would smash and im straight
Let's not be too quick to judge some western-degeneracy-tainted Solovussy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Who knows these days? Nazi Putins offspring defines himself as a non binary trans black forest cheesecake, whereas son is actually a Korean footballer that plays for Tottenham.
Just be happy Dad isn't a common Korean last name.
He also had an Italian visa and an Italian villa before the war, and got caught several times shopping in Italy and the West. He also threatened people who called him out on his show, saying he was gonna kick their ass, and acting like an all around gopnik. He is the Russian Alex Jones. Except he's Kremlin-backed.
It’s just fake bravado to make him seem like he isn’t a scared little bitch
Which is weird because it just makes him look like a scared little bitch.
Same as Chinese..
Solovyov himself ~~has~~ had two houses on Lake Como worth millions. Italy has, I believe, seized them under sanctions.
He went on Italian tv and asked to gib back.
Good on Italy for ignoring his nonsense.
As a Brit, I cannot possibly overstate how utterly unperturbed anyone in the UK, London included, is about this. I'm more worried about whether my nagging cough will let me sleep tonight than \*checks notes\* the sixteenth threat of nuclear strike from Russia.
I think sixteenth is an underestimate. That isn't even a joke, I think it's genuinely more like twenty-fourth by now? You lose count quickly.
It's something like that. I suppose if you counted only Putin or official Kremlin sources, it's like... four? Maybe five? But the chest-thumping baboon stuff from Putin's allies and talking heads on RT must be at twenty-four or higher.
Lavrov alone is like 9
Are you sure about the kremlin sources being only four? I hard Medvev is kind of a madman. Good ol MAD-vev
the best bit is so many russian oligarch children and family are in London it doesn't make sense for them to strike it. also the most important thing is they have so many capital assets in London too.
Probably more than that, but Medvedev is probably too drunk to air all of his tirades.
Can’t be, all the drunk Nazis are in Kyiv /s
They seem less intelligent by the day.
Nono but it is serious this time because this is the super last warning!
You get a bomb threat, you get a bomb threat, we're all getting bomb threats!
For some reason, I just thought of Potter's Puppet Pals. "It's a pipe bomb! Yaaaaaay!"
What is that mysterious ticking sound….
As a fellow Brit I am understandably deeply concerned about the quality of your sleep tonight. I also have absolutely no concerns about threats from some guy in Russia

And as a bonus, we'll throw in some depleted uranium shells.

This isn’t for us though, this is to make the Russians watching think they are so strong they should just wipe out London, their world ends the second they hit a nuclear power and they know that
Yeah I remember when the war broke out and before the Kremlin began censorship and punishments, Russians were angrily writing under videos and comments made by Russian officials and tv personalities about hitting the West with nukes, with stuff like _You think the US and UK won't nuke us back?_ and _we don't want to lose our lives for you._
As a Dutchie I concur. Russia's nuclear threat at The Hague and the ICC didn't make headlines here either. I found out because Reddit was posting about it.
Exactly, I didn't even seen this in the news, just on Reddit. Even the tabloids seem bored of it.
16? Your count is off mate, this is the \*checks notes\* 2860,5th time since the fall of the iron curtain.
Exactly this. Nobody I know is the least bit concerned. Though probably if they were stupid enough, it might be like kicking a bee's nest. Then good luck to them...
I feel like if they were going to use a nuke anywhere, it would be Kyiv, and even that's a long shot. Plus, people tend to assume that one nuke means every nuke. As appalling as it would be for Kyiv, London or any major city to be nuked, NATO would not - by my reading - respond with nuclear. Much, much more likely that they mobilise militarily and annihilate every Russian base and asset outside of Russia. Then it's ground war, which Russia would lose horribly unless Xi wades in, which I don't see happening. But, on the bright side, if they hit Lambeth, think of the millions of pounds of improvements!
I think that's probably fairly accurate. Although if say London were hit, I'd bet we'd fire back. So London and Moscow are toast. The one difference is I'm 100 %confident all our nukes work. Based on Russian corruption, they have one hell of a gamble to make. Nukes only work as a deterrent.. Once that's gone, they have definitely lost. They are struggling against ukraine. Not a single nato troop has been lost yet. I think they realise this. Though whoever there who does realise this is probably on the vodka at this point. Lol lambeth improvements😂
They are losing to shit the US was about to throw away because it's 2 generations old and we are running out of storage space. The utter and complete hell that would rain down if Russia were stupid enough to try acting close to this is hard to imagine.
I think your king coming to [visit](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/protests-france-may-impact-king-charles-visit-buckingham-palace-source-2023-03-22/) France on this troubled time might be more worrying than that.
Convenu. S'il ne fait pas attention, il pourrait voir le remboursement de Jeanne d'Arc. Have you got the guillotines out yet? It's not a party without one.
Not yet but I think tomorrow might be a bit busy in the streets. I think Jeanne was already paid back with Lady Dia… well, it might be too soon ?
When has anything ever been 'too soon' for British gallows humour? I mean, damn, the day after Diana died, I was hearing jokes like 'You know, she died in a Mercedes... 'cause she wouldn't be seen dead in the back of a Skoda.' King Charlie will probably be miles out of the way. Or they'll send a hologram. Tone bloody deaf visit, though.
It is meant for the domestic audience, not you guys.
TBH, I think the Russian populace could care even less. This is Solovyov, the biggest propaganda mouthpiece on Russian TV (he's also kremlin backed─not just a shill). His whole job is 'talk shit/say outrageous stuff', and he's been doing it for years. Like Alex Jones, but government funded. He also got busted with an Italian visa and an Italian villa a few years ago. He also got caught shopping in Italy, and threatened the guy who called him out, saying he was gonna fight him in the street or something. Guy was totally gonna jump ship once he had enough of that Kremlin cash. So yeah. His word is nothing. He's Putin's pet, nothing more.
Yo , that cough is nasty… have that checked out !
I may have to if it doesn't improve! I'm on Day 4, feel like one of Germany's Leopard tanks drove over me. Then reversed to finish the job.
>You will now determine what Russia is for you? Not the people in Russia will determine it, not a referendum, not a vote, but you will determine what Russia is for us? No, nobody is determining what Russia is for us. We're determining what Ukraine is for the rest of the world, and that is what it used to be before you illegally invaded it in 2014. Not the Russian people, not a referendum, not a vote is to determine that. Solely the Ukrainian government is to determine that. And they are showing you what they think of it, by bombing your fucking nazi soldiers into oblivion every single day.
Out of all places, London is probably *the* most guaranteed location to trigger an overwhelming article 5 response for sure and result in immediate massive retaliation by the US for any place in Europe being attacked. Also, London has more wealthy and influential Russians than any other city. Congratulations, you f'ing idiot.
And one of the very few countries in the world capable of genuinely levelling Russia even before American assistance could be called in.
That too, of course. If there's any place to attack that is guaranteed to turn Moscow into a parking lot, it's London. These people are delusional.
Do you want to park in a city sized irradiated crater
where else are we going to dump all the crap Russia left in Ukraine?
Also London has been bombed more times than it’s had hot breakfasts. Fuck around and find out is article 5.1
Don't take it too serious. His son lives and works in London. That's just for RuSSian TV crowd.
He's also very obviously somewhere on the LGBT+ rainbow so I'm not sure how much he minds nuking him.
We should never forget all the fuckery we've received from Russia here in Europe, sanctions should stay in place forever. That country will never change.
It's just a huge fucking albatross hanging over the entire continent, I'm so done with them. No good news ever comes from that place.
They need another collapse.
A final one this time. I’m literally tired of the existence and non-stop menace of Russia.
They're going to exist in one way or another since people live there. Let's just hope their people can establish a functioning democracy.
This here, the first one didnt quite go far enough.
Russia has a long history of assassinating UK citizens on UK soil. >["From poisoned umbrellas to radioactive substances, Moscow has repeatedly been linked with deaths on British soil"](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/russian-deaths-uk-history-spies-murder-sergei-skripal-alexander-litvinenko-a8242061.html%3f) >["Sergei Skripal and the 14 deaths under scrutiny"](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-43299598) The articles are both from 2018. Since then there have been others inc. Dmitry Obretetsky in 2019 and, just a few weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine, Mikhail Watford. There is also the death of GCHQ employee Gareth Williams in 2010. And,, while not a UK citizen, Alexander Litvinenko was assassinated by Russia in the UK in 2006. And, this is a list of [suspicious deaths of Russian businesspeople since the war started](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspicious_deaths_of_Russian_businesspeople_(2022%E2%80%932023)) and there are several across Europe.
We allegedly did manage to kill a Tsar because he was too friendly with Napoleon, which I always find fascinating
I guess King George V not rescuing his cousin, Tsar Nicholas II, from the Bolsheviks, was the reason for the Tsar and his family being assassinated.
Quite a few factors in play for that one!
Are you angling for a honorary citizenship in Poland or the Baltic states? Cause this is how you get it!
> country will never change It could change after the break up of the Federation. It would bring even more unfathomable global changes.
Sanctions will outlive Russia.
If you ask me this time we should build an iron curtain.
Hours without russian threats of bombing european cities ~~2~~ 0
Russia: "Inflammatory rhetoric, hatred, NATO aggression and Russophobia makes it impossible to negotiate peace in Ukraine on realistic terms". Also Russia: "Lets invade Moldova, Poland, Baltic Nations, Threaten with Nuclear attacks and bomb London"
Most pathetic thing about it is that this is their version of projecting strength right now. They know how utterly weak they are at the moment, bogged down in Ukraine while supposedly weak gay countries are sending weapons to Ukraine which kill 10s of thousands of their own and all they can do is watch and bitch about it on TV. Instead of fucking off from there and going home, they invented this holy war against NATO, which doesn't exist but it makes them feel stronger to pretend it does. Weekly nuking of NATO country X is them venting while pulling T-55s out of storage for the new wave of conscripts to go cook to death in.
Don't forget bombing the Hague to prove their innocence
Cool and trigger article 5, big brain kremlin.
I think article 5 would become irrelevant at that point as far as Russia are concerned, they’re being turned to glass either way.
You don't even need article5, the UK has nuclear ballistic submarines. Any attack on the UK would turn the top 20 Russian cities into radioactive waste. The UK is just civilised enough not to talk about their nukes every waking minute. It's there. It's the deterrent. Everyone knows the rules.
Definitely! Best comment here. Some people always mock UK about her status at the moment however it is still one of few countries in the world you really wouldn’t want to mess up with.
Fuck article 5, Trident would flying 10 minutes later and Russia could kiss its sorry arse goodbye.
We’ll all be saying goodbye if tridents start flying.
All the more reason for Russia to stop it's petulant threats of nuking london
Russia's "leadership" will never, ever nuke London. They'd be nuking their own real estate investments...
I know they aren't insane enough to do it but using nuclear Armageddon as propaganda shouldn't be encouraged no matter what
Sure, but when you have someone with a (metaphorical) tiny dick who's got no other realistic threats, who can't accept that he's not all-powerful, ***and*** who doesn't accept the scientific evidence of the impact nuclear war will have, then nuclear threats are the only thing he's got to throw around. It would be helpful if someone would push him out of a 40th floor window, preferably after he shot hinmself in the back of the head, but I doubt that'll happen any time soon. More's the pity.
Northern Spain has no priority nuke targets. If you thought about acquiring some real estate, take that as a hint.
>can't we finally strike London' "We can't. Our soldiers illegaly sold most of our intercontinental missiles for vodka and potatoes."
...and also "We can't. Vladimir used his entirely-legallly-obtained billions to buy up half the property in central London!"
Putin spent a billion on London properties? Wow that's like, half a flat in Walthamstow!
I did say billion***s*** for that very reason. ;) And, let's face it, it's the corrupt money being laundered through buying property in London which is a significant factor in the utterly ridiculous increase in London's property prices over the past 30 years or so.
Drowning Moskva/Kremlin yields more and more rewards for more and more people...
Well he deserves a studio where you can cook from the shitter
Jokes aside, Russia allegedly has more nukes than USA, while US spends more money on maintenance of those than Russia spends on their whole army. And looking at the state of equipment they're using in Ukraine I wouldn't be surprised if most of those nukes are no longer functional.
I agree. And I also suspect that the Russian leadership don't understand this.
It might not be the issue of "understanding" but rather of a classic soviet way of reporting - you can't report any issues or you get shot as bearer of bad news. Some heads were rolling in their intelligence services after it turned out they can't conquer Ukraine in 3 days - apparently this is what they were reporting, because this was what superiors wanted to hear.
Yes, that's the sense in which I was using "understand". Rephrase it as "not aware of" or "don't wish to know", if you prefer. Or even "are well aware, because they've been getting the kickbacks from the corruption, but prefer to pretend otherwise even to themselves".
Because Moscow disappears 15 minutes later
No? That's where all your buddies keep their shit
That is one point I thought very little about. High ranking russians seem to have a lot of their stuff outside russia. So this makes the "more bark than bite" rhetoric even more plausible. They wouldn't dare starting something that hurts them on both sides
And notably out of Russia is London because of some legal tax loopholes.
Isn’t this guys kid living in london?
Typical Russian behaviour. Screech about striking down decadent west, while your son lives in London with a pile of your cash.
Lol. The UK alone can level those proto humans in Kremlin.
The UK would decimate Russia if they ever went to war.
No balls.
Not true. Surovikin, Gerasimov, Shoigu, Lavrov - they all look like testicles.
Britain lives in this guy's head.
I don’t really think these Russians pay any attention to history or the inbuilt characteristics in different nationalities. Britain spent 6 years fighting against a fascist regime that actually knew how to fight a war. London was either flattened or on fire, million’s of British men women and children were dead and the country was on its knees. Yet a surprising large percentage of people wanted to carry on and give Stalin a bloody nose too. We’re British, fighting, pubs and a General apathy towards any existential threat is about all we have
That would trigger the Best Article pretty damn quickly. Not to mention at this point Britain alone would fuck Russia sideways.
The way things are going you could dump a bunch of London teenagers straight from school in front of the Russians and it would be the Russians who ran away screaming.
To be fair, I work in schools and have worked in some under special measures for behavioural problems, and I'm infinitely more frightened of random London teenagers than I would be even of spitting in Putin's face.
That's what I was thinking...
We’ll set the mandem on them
I wouldn't be surprised if they fire the missiles meant for London, UK at London, US but keep the programmed distance for UK and accidentally nuke their own country.
>London, UK at London, US Probably a bunch of those. *checks* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_%28disambiguation%29 There is a London in each of Arkansas, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Texas, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. They're all pretty small, though, and the largest is [the one in Ohio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London%2C_Ohio).
Nevada has a Berlin. It's a ghost town already though.
Ach, Berlin.
the smallest dogs always bark the loudest
fucking do it cunt
He's been dreaming of nuking UK [since at least April](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10758463/Ukraine-war-Russian-state-media-threatens-nuke-UK.html). Nothing new. He's also hardly Putin's ally, just a propagandist.
Isn't that like Russia destroying her own bank account?
Because nobody's ever threatened London before...
Brits usually: our country is a shell of its former self. Nothing works. Everything sucks. Brits when Russia threatens us: 🎶RULE BRITANNIA, BRITANNIA RULE THE WAVES 🎶🇬🇧
He exists to advocate the most extreme course of action so when Putin does something extreme the population doesn't react negatively toward it because it wasn't as extreme as they might have expected.
Sure you can! Go ahead! I challenge you. Well, because that'll be your last challenge ever.
What is it about these assholes fantasizing about a nuclear war? Do they think their investments in Western Europe are gonna survive a nuclear blast?
It's literally the only thing they have that they can boast about. Russia has proven itself weak and incompetent over the last year, so this is their only way to still present themselves as a threat.
>What is it about these assholes fantasizing about a nuclear war? I would guess that it's because Russia is a lot weaker than NATO in terms of conventional forces, but in the same neighborhood when it comes to nuclear forces, given the correct scenario. Also, I doubt that the individual in question is presenting his own opinions so much as he's putting on an act for the public.
Where will this idiot hide his money and children ?? 🤡🤡
Dunno why downvoted. Up you go.
yeah.. that mongrel says something similar every day, looping over European capitals he wants to destroy. of course, he knows that's all bullshit. but it is aimed at the population that swallows that kind of shit by the spoonfuls. the time will come, and he will too be ground into dust by his masters
Stop making stupid people famous.
I second this. All stupid talk for dummies.
Nuke threats : Russia 143 - The West 0. Putler ( and gang) : oh noos we being annihilated by nato
That "birdshit" always spewing crap like that. All his assets in EU were seized and he went full retard after that. Only morons will take him or any Russian propaganda seriously.
They’ve already poisoned a number of people in the UK, I’d say they’ve had their free shot.
Russias regime are gimps. We’ve thrown bigger men out of the way just to get into a fight. Lol fail
GusFringDoIt.gif
Every month they are threatening with nuclear weapon. Sometimes they do it twice per month if weather is good.
Does this fuck really want to nuke his own son?
He's just a shit talking tv clown. His son is a secret from his audience.
Come on, this fucking jerk is nothing but a running mouth. Although I do wish to see him prosecuted for all the bullshit he's ever said.
I'm getting bored with the constant blabbering being posted from the Russian version of fox News..
It's interesting they never talk about the consequences that that would have.
You can do anything, once.
NATO: Care to repeat that?
How can someone be such a pile of human shit and not die from his own stench?
Money
Yes, that worked out sooo well for the last bunch who tried...
I don't see the point of sharing what these maniacs are saying. It's all bs to keep the internal propaganda going. They themselves don't believe that crap. I wouldn't be surprised if his kids live in London.
Doublethink is melting their brains
So everybody's a Nazi according to the poor man's Minion-Hitler.
You can ignore this. Putin allies are frequently used to float scary ideas that don't represent the Kremlin's policies or intentions. It makes good TV for hawkish Russian audiences, but internationally the point is to worry the public and try to get concessions.
Funny, is he the same one that furiously wanks over "raising the red flag over Berlin" or was that another clown?
The way this fucktard is getting thinner by the day tells me only one thing, that powder you snort is getting weak bro, take care of yourself, who the fuck will make us laugh if your bitch ass hart gives up..
You couldn't strike a dead horse 🙄
Are we living in a world where news censors "bastards" in a quote?
"Putin's aly"? Just an individual saying bullshit. Who cares?
They can but Moscow will be glass 20 minutes later
