I wonder… does medvedev have enough wits left to understand that if Russia has that right… then everyone … has that right?

They’re finding Ukraine difficult enough. Sure we’re sharing some toys (a lot of toys)… but they don’t have carriers or attack subs or missile destroyers…

Threatening nato is not a sane decision to make. We might just take them at their word.

Good news then: If you go to war with one NATO member you get war with the rest of them absolutely free!

Can’t even take on Ukraine, you want to come at every other western country? Lol

Whether you like it, or not, history is on our side. We will bury you

Because we all know the Soviet Union and Russia are exactly the same thing and the Russian military is definitely as powerful and as capable as the Soviet Union, no doubt. Please pay no attention to the complete lack of victory in Ukraine.

Maxim Katz has explained that these kinds of deranged declarations are not directed at us. They are a kind of symbolic self-humiliation of Medvedev to prove to Putin that he is still loyal. It's "look I am willing to appear so wretched and ridiculous to the foreigners, I could not possibly be a threat to you, I am not some kind of alternative that could replace you, I am such a silly man, please don't throw me out of a window".

The second greatest army in Ukraine wants to mess with Nato? LOL

War has fuck-all to do with rights. If you're going to attack a NATO country we will beat your ass back into the stone age without mercy, your nukes won't save you if you dare cross that line.

So has Denmark.

Though it would be funny ig Russia didn't. Imagine Putin declaring war on Poland and Poland just saying "no, it's against the law."

I mean... he's not wrong? They could have a war with NATO any time they wanted it. Russia could have war with NATO whenever they want it. They've been very careful to not actually DO that, of course. Last thing they need is to start losing another one with someone who won't have any difficulty in bringing the full conflict right to them.

But do they have the ability to war? 🤔

They can't even fight a small country like Ukraine and they want to test the might of a fully armed and optional ~~Battlestaion~~ NATO alliance? Do they believe that anyone really believes them?

History's on their side? Boy do I have news for him...

A right to war? Are you fucking high?

Nobody is stopping them from exercising that right against any NATO country. What about Poland? They have been a historical nuisance, Dimi. Just shoot a rocket at a farm somewhere, but make it intentional this time.

These dumbfucks can’t manage a war with Ukraine. To state the obvious.

“Are you gonna bark all day, little doggy, or are you gonna bite?” - Mr. Blonde.

And everyone has the right to shoot back. Not sure why such a declaration comes across as so one sided.

A house cat has the right to attack a lion as well...

Mate, you can't even win against a non-NATO country, that happens to be the poorest in Europe.

But sure, you have the right to have a war with everyone. Even if we all know you can't.

I mean... I can't see any issue with NATO not stopping Ukraine from invading its own territory... the territory the UN recognizes as part of Ukraine... and which Russia signed three separate treaties promising to respect as part of Ukraine.

Oh no, we're all gonna be totally dead in 3 days. Remember how they took Kiev in 3 days? Flawlessly.

... I mean, ok?

Come get some.

How are they gonna have time to bury anybody when they're busy burying hundreds of thousands of citizens they force to go to war for them?

Sure. And the mouse has the right to war with the elephant. But it's not a very clever thing to do.

Well, yeah. Everyone has the right to make bad decisions

Krushchev is an interesting person to quote here. Wasn't he stripped of power by an empire that would utterly collapse within 20 years of his death?

Okay...? Why would you want to though? Just want to kill a lot of people for no other reason than, "but I have the right to!"

Freedom of ~~Speech~~ War doesn't mean Freedom from Consequences!

Feel free to exercise that right at your convenience

Going to war isn't about rights. Rights are a soft power thing while war is purely about hard power. What is he even trying to say here? Like if there was a right and lack of a right to war, what would they look like? What would the functional difference between the two be?

Ha! Your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash.

I wish a motherfucker would tho.

Just claiming you have the right doesn't mean you actually have the right. Ask January 6 trumpers for more information on that subject.

On another point: just because you can doesn't mean you should. You can kick a Lion in the balls but that doesn't make it a great idea.

Then again, I'm sure Russia's leadership knows this and right now is just posing like an 8th grader bragging about his uncle being a navy seal because holy shit, Russia is fuuuuuuucked.

For the next decades it will be busy pulling itself together, trying to rebuild an international economy that doesn't rely 100% on unsustainable practices of just selling all it's minerals, getting rid of the reputation that Putin gave it, trying to rebuild a military that isn't the laughing stock of the world... And all that is assuming that the country doesn't fall apart, doesn't dove into civil war and that say, china doesn't decide it likes the taste ofmsome of the pieces that are left.

Russia is fubar, and right now Ukraine is the victim, butt within this decade, the innocent Russian citizens will be the victims of it all
