“Whether you like it, or not, history is on our side. We will bury you,” he said quoting former USSR leader Nikita Khrushchev.

Russian politician Dmitry Medvedev said on Tuesday Russia could have a right to go to war with NATO.

    America is not giving Ukraine the most advanced weapons and that is stopping Russia.

    Imagine if America used their pre advanced weapons.

    It’s posturing. Russia wants to look tough. They’re a paper tiger.

      Total posturing. A few hundred of these would end the war overnight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-158_JASSM

      These aren’t even classified. Poland and Finland have them, today.

      Ukraine is keeping Russia in check with cardboard launched grenades. It’s pretty amazing, honestly; both how innovative Ukraine has been under duress with almost nothing, and how bad Russia has performed in this mess they’ve dumped themselves in.

      A few too many toes over NATO lines would decapitate the Kremlin, probably before anything could be done in response.

      And at full scale. This is definitely typical Russian posturing, ie total bullshit that everyone knows is bullshit but they say it anyway.
