"Attempts to restore Russia's 1991 borders will lead only to one thing - a global war with Western countries with the use of our entire strategic (nuclear) arsenal against Kyiv, Berlin, London, and Washington. And against all other beautiful historic places that have long been included in the flight targets of our nuclear triad," Medvedev said in a reference to the triad of intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and strategic bombers with nuclear weapons.

Call. The. Bluff.

Russia has been bluffing for decades. Neither their nukes nor their delivery systems work after 50 years of being "maintained" by notorious black market scalpers.

The end of the menace is possible. Call the bluff.

Inspected and fully functional as of 2021 via the joint inspection program with the US that RU has since backed out of.

The inspections are to verify locations of warheads and delivery systems. They are not function tests. They do not verify fuel integrity, structural integrity, nav hardware functionality or any other critical function. They don't even check that all the components exist in the delivery system.

These parts (fuel, computer components, chassis components) are all valuable on the international black market. The scalpers who have, for decades, been the main sources for these commodities have been the poorly paid people who maintain these systems.

I don't think those inspections were that thorough or comprehensive.

Can't wait to hear tankie rhetoric about how all of "the west" should just surrender to Russia to save lives.

So literally they're threatening to lob nukes if people don't stop not recognizing their attempt to just grab territory from weaker neighbors.

I don't think Russia wants that precedent in the air with China looking so hungrily at Siberia

We should invade Russia and threaten to nuke Moscow of we lose occupied territories.

Seems he wants more sanctions.

All I see is a little doggy yapping madly in a vain attempt to scare away a grizzly bear.

We should nuke Moscow and St. Petersburg, just out of principle. Fuck all those ruzzian scumbags. If there was a gram of virtue left in them, they would have fled by now.

An ex-submariner I used to work with told me that every single Russian sub has a NATO tail.

I hope the fallout will once again stop at the French border /s
