What you're saying is that you think Russia isn't evil because Ukrainian lives are worth less than other lives. You excuse Russia from large-scale murder, and large scale nuclear threat.
It's pretty clear what your agenda is. You're pro-Russia terrorism.
I mean, there's no single statement in your comment which wouldn't be a lie.
Except for this:
In this case your lie is a bit less direct and obvious. I don't excuse any existing threat. I'm saying there's no such threat.
Go fuck yourself.
The nukes are real and the nuclear threat is real.
You the the liar. You're gaslighting that there are no nukes because you're pro Russia terrorism.
In my opinion it's you who's trying to divert this conversation from a genocidal terrorist NATO member Turkey and its by extension genocidal terrorist NATO allies to a paper tiger which is Russia.
I suggest you get busy with fixing your shit in your genocidal terrorist country and don't bother humans like me until you are good enough to be called such.
The original post was literally about Russia.
Way to tell on yourself or trying to divert a post that is originally about Russia and try to make it about Turkey.
Yeah Russia might be weak, and stupid, but like an animal that backs itself into a corner there's a good chance Russia decides it has nothing to lose so it'll take down the rest of the world with it.
I've answered a moron who said that Russia is a terrorist state by providing examples of NATO-allied states which are more terrorist than Russia.
This can be interpreted two ways - that I want those states to be treated as such, just like Russia, or that I want Russia to be excused, just like them.
Naturally I meant the former, it's obvious from the focus I've made.
Basically I'm saying that if you are fine with Turkey being your ally, then there's nothing particularly terrorist about Russia.
His statement would mean nothing without context, and with context it's hypocritical.
You are not in a Hollywood movie. "Russia decides" would mean that there's some singular will making decisions. Usually this is not the case, and as we've recently seen with Wagner circus, definitely not here.
And no, there's no "good chance", why such phrasing even? In a Hollywood movie any person saying such things is supposed to have knowledge and expertise for us to assume they know their shit.
Also with what exactly would it "take down the rest of the world"? Read something about Russian strategic forces commanders since independence, and also administrative and financial state of those strategic forces through most of the last 30 years.
I'd expect there are operational nukes to say a firm goodbye to area the size of Poland, but there are also THAAD deployments in Europe, I think, which are supposedly capable of shooting down these.
Back to people knowing their shit - it doesn't seem that any of Western political or military leaders are seriously afraid of an apocalyptic nuclear exchange. Think about that.
