LONDON, March 17 (Reuters) - Russia warned the United States on Thursday that Moscow had the might to put the world's pre-eminent superpower in its place and accused the West of stoking a wild Russophobic plot to tear Russia apart.

Oh boy it's always America, America, America.

lol okay.

they stopped screaming about the whole world being "unfriendly" due to their lying, war mongering and hate campaigns yet?

Pathetic

Fake it til you make it.

Yes yes Russias superior might is on display for the world to see. Cant win a battle so theyre bombing hospitals and apartment buildings.

we have the might to put you in your place

And what place would that be? As leader of the free world? As the bastion of democracy and freedom? As an actual superpower? Why be vague Dmitry?

the United States had stoked "disgusting" Russophobia in an attempt to force Russia to its knees.

I was watching an edutainment program from Discovery last night about the latest interpretations of Nostradamus' prophecies and it was the same five minutes of content stretched out over 40 minutes plus ads, but they were very clear that it was definitely Russia, or maybe China or ISIS, but it was very probable that Putin is the third antichrist who will launch nuclear weapons in 2038, and kill us all.

I think it was more about army recruitment and expanding the military congressional industrial complex, than bringing Russia to it's knees though.

can we just wipe putin off the face of the earth yet?

lmao no they don't

Maybe if China backed them up but Russia alone ain't doing shit

I'm legit surprised he's survived 4 weeks already.

Go home Putin, you're drunk.

LMFAO!!!!!

No one takes you seriously anymore Russia. Ukraine is embarrassing you each day. Mess with us and Russia becomes the Earth's largest crater.

Putin was really banking on Trump getting reelected and pulling the US out of NATO. Now he's making empty threats because he didn't make a backup plan.

With so many people hating Putin im surprised he hasnt been assassinated by now. I mean you could line up millions of us and we could just run full force at him and eventually one of us could ring his neck and kill him

He's been super paranoid over the past couple of years, unless it's done by someone in his inner circle, we'll just have to wait for completely normal Russian natural causes like defenestration from top of Kremlin, suicide from being shot twice in the back of the head, or underwear poisoned with nerve agent. (I'm betting he is really regretting that last one now, I wonder if he has a designated underwear tester...)

They don't even have the might to put Kyiv in its place.

I think at this point most people view Russia's State as being like a screaming child who somehow managed to get ahold of a gun. There's an acute awareness that the little shit is causing harm and has the potential to cause more harm, but no one has any real respect for it at this point.

Here's the question I have. Given their poor showing in Ukraine, if they DID launch a nuclear strike... Would it even work? Like, right now, I wouldn't be shocked if over half the nukes were operating on old 70's tech, wearing afros, and thought disco was still a thing and the other half was still reading up on the west's obsession with 'Reganomics'.

Even if 90% of Russia's nukes are non-functional, that would still leave them with... almost 500 functional nukes.

Russia has the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world - it being poorly maintained is really not something I want to bank on.

There was supposed a letter written by an FSB agent going around recently that said no Russia's nuclear aresenal does not work. But who knows if that thing was real.

Based on this topic, yall probably called them freedom fries when France refused to invade Iraq.

I, for one, just called them fries; sometimes chips.

Thats hilarious because Russian bots have been putting out bullshit for years trying to further divide Americans.

Some of them calling themselves centrists, probably. I'd need more data, and maybe a Venn diagram.

Left-leaning centrists even

Then they exclusively espouse extreme right wing rhetoric.

Here's the issue. I don't believe Putin would do it normally. The fact is that, even if Russia decided it would nuke America, America would nuke Russia right back and Putin KNOWS this. It's a losing game of power. So I don't think he's threatening to actually DO it, especially since Ukraine doesn't have nukes (and that would turn the entire world against him overnight and cause pretty much an universal war from everyone who isn't North Korea and maybe China), at least NORMALLY. So I suspect one of two things is actually happening.

1) He's seeing how far he can push the 'nuke' card. If NATO caves to the threat he's proven it's an ineffective alliance and can, effectively, demand any nation in Europe concede to him because NATO can't save them and he doesn't have to worry about America, cause nuke. So Poland? Nuke card and he can take it. Scandinavia? Nukes and they have to either become vassals or outright be conquered. He can just keep playing the card over and over again until he reaches either France or England and, only then, does he have to actually 'worry'... And he's got China backing him with all their nukes so he feels confident still that America won't intervene. Plus he's also shown that China can, safely, take Taiwan, cause nukes, as well as basically any territory in Asia that's not Pakistan or India, cause nukes, and India's part of the BRICS trade thing so they probably don't have to worry anyways. Plus he may also be keeping an eye on his inner cabinet to see who would question or defy such an order so he can 'remove' them.

2) He's legitimately lost his sanity and has gone full Kim Jong Un if Un had any balls.

If he actually tries to use nukes he's going to get offed by the oligarchs. They haven't spent their lives amassing wealth and power to, at best, spend the rest of their lives in bomb shelters.

America: *puts head in sand*

Russia: "We'll put you in your place!"

Meanwhile, didn't Putin just fire and replace a thousand people around him, fearing poison? I was expecting this of a certain someone else, that shall remain nameless, a few years ago, while drawing comparisons to Emperor Nero of Rome, but I suppose if it isn't the proxy, then it's the puppeteer.

I'm just waiting for some heroes in Russia to cause him to have an "accident" so we can do the CSI Miami 4 panel meme:

"Looks like Vladimir..."
"...got Putin his place!"
*sunglasses*
"Yeah."

Topic title reminded me of that

Not a fan of American Imperialism, but Russia thinking it can take on the USA is a laugh.

It has long been said Russia is a 3rd world country with a military, but as we are seeing, even that was being too generous.

Apparently Putin is vowing to 'cleanse Russia of the scum and traitors'. While this could fit either of the narratives I suggested earlier I feel it more supports the latter since, as an ex-KGB agent, he should be more than aware that saying this would likely drive any actual 'traitors' underground. This is more of a fear-monger tactic which seems more in line with someone losing their sanity than what a cold and calculating leader would do.

My working theory is that Putin's mind didn't quite survive the quarantine intact and he might be also suffering some sort of illness that's putting a timer on his life. He's running out of time to achieve his goal of a 'reunited Russia' and wants to leave that as his legacy. That normal Russians don't seem to support it and the world turned against him should have clued him in that this wasn't exactly a smart idea, but he seems more determined and unhinged. I've heard some theories suggesting he has developed colen cancer. I think that's just wild speculation with little, if any, backing. However I know he's getting up there in years and he may be facing the stark reality that he simply doesn't have a lot of time left before the reaper comes for him. Hence his rash and poorly planned decisions.
