Russia warns Britain of immediate 'proportional response' for 'provoking' Ukraine to attack

[speak easy]

Source: The Guardian

Russia’s defence ministry has warned of an immediate “proportional response” if Britain continues its “direct provocation” of Ukraine to strike targets in Russia, Reuters reports.

The ministry cited statements from the UK’s armed forces minister, James Heappey, that said Britain backs Ukrainian troops carrying out strikes in Russian territory. Speaking earlier today, Heappey said it was “not necessarily a problem” if Ukraine uses weapons donated by Britain.

We would like to underline that London’s direct provocation of the Kiev regime into such actions, if such actions are carried out, will immediately lead to our proportional response.

As we have warned, the Russian Armed Forces are in round-the-clock readiness to launch retaliatory strikes with high-precision long-range weapons at decision-making centers in Kyiv.

1. And the world gives a collective yawn at this crap from Russia

2nd best army in the world is now the 2nd best army in Ukraine.

[speak easy]

2. And if a Russian missle hits an embassy in Kyiv?

... a collective yawn?

[ruet]

5. WAR!

That's, precisely, why it won't happen. Russia would get wiped.

[ruet]

12. Yikes!

15. Oh fuck.

There were lots of links I could have chosen :red face:

[ruet]

16. It's Fine.

We've all been there. ...funny more than anything.

[AZLD4Candidate]

17. That would be an act of war and an attack on NATO.

[Deuxcents]

3. Russia's PM has been busy

Sending warnings to Japan, the UK .. who will be next while they plow their way thru Ukraine?

[AllaN01Bear]

6. things have been testy with those things since before ww1.

[TheBlackAdder]

38. Russia is still butthurt for losing their fleet to Japan in the Battle of Tsushima.

.

This one battle was a major contributor to the overthrow of the Russian
Monarchy, the Russian Revolution, WWI, Pacific WWII and other things.

Notice the parallels between Japan's declaration of war with Russia and that of the USA.

4. russia threatened that after the moskav was hit.... still waiting...

If they have any working high precision battlefield missiles, they aren't firing them.

I don't doubt they have a working space missile program, but that is an expensive launch for conventional warheads.

7. this is the same crybaby bullshit that used to come out of the USSR

[Irish_Dem]

8. Russia's nuke threats have been successful in scaring the West.

So they are going to keep doing what worked.

[Irish_Dem]

14. Once a bully sees their threats working, they will keep using all kinds of threats.

It is psychology 101.

[oldsoftie]

19. Well, the Chinese kinda had it coming anyway.

[speak easy]

20. and still do :)

10. Its way past time to take Putin seriously.

Not just as a threat to one fledgling democracy, but to all of Europe. Stop allowing Putin to divide and conquer. Where some NATO countries help, outside of NATO, and are targeted individually.

Time to not only support the UK, but say "us too!" I do not know why NATO is not taking advantage of public support right now to end this sooner than later.

I'm not a war monger. Which is why when it seems like some kind of violent response is the only way to counter a madman like Putin, it has to be done quickly, and efficiently. If there is the potential of having overwhelming forces to quickly snuff out this genocide, then DO IT!

But I fear NATO will sit on its hands until Ukraine is flattened and bombed into the stone age. Thousands more dead and injured. And Putin is eyeing more expansion beyond Ukraine. So sad for Ukraine people being used like a science experiment by NATO. Waiting for the beaker to boil over.

[yardwork]

40. I think everybody is taking Putin seriously now.

I don't think NATO is "sitting on its hands." Looks like we're effectively getting weapons into Ukraine without triggering nuclear war.

It's interesting how folks who in the past didn't take Putin seriously and were supposedly opposed to war are suddenly running around with their hair on fire. Fortunately calmer people are in charge.

[LiberalLovinLug]

43. "running around with their hair on fire"

Sure yw, that's what I'm doing. If you mean passionate and concerned about the carnage and looking for ways to stop it sooner...damn rights. Must be nice to be able to be so chill about it.

NATO is NOT "getting weapons into Ukraine". They are very carefully sitting on their hands in that regard. Its up to individual countries, NATO members or not, to do that under their own flags. Usually its equipment that those countries regard as expendable older tech.

Which may be enough. I think NATO is hoping it is. And eventually it may work. After many more deaths. But lets not kid ourselves. If NATO, US forces + European and other NATO countries really wanted to lay down a beating and drive Russia out pronto, using their tech, their new equipment, their fighters,.....they could.

13. Blah, blah, Blah Russia. You start a war on your neighbor and it just may come home to roost

How in the hell does the aggressor think that they get to dictate the terms and conditions of the battlefield? Ukraine should send terror cells straight into Moscow and start blowing the hell out of the place. That is a sure-fire way to get Russian troops pulled back from the border and Ukrainian territory in general.

Sorry Putin, you reap what you sew. Take the fight to the Russians in any way possible.

[LymphocyteLover]

25. Agreed. Putin doesn't realize how badly he's lost world support here.

[Igel]

34. Western support.

Specifically northern Western support--not the South.

A number of African countries still partner with Russia, even having the Wagner Group "helping" their military in exchange for concessions to Russia. Many South American countries are neutral--"let's be friends with everybody." India is India, needing cheap oil and having a long-standing "neutral" quasi-alliance with the USSR and now Russia. Then there's China. Even the PLO is vaguely anti-anti-Russia, Iran's helping Russia procure arms.

Bubbles are bad, unless they're in beer or champagne.

39. My students asked me about...

LatAm’s milquetoast response in our final seminar yesterday.
It’s hard to convey to people just how much Latin American countries really don’t like attention turned on them (unless it’s lavish economic attention, and then all bets are off). Plus, there are many countries that will do/say whatever is the polar opposite of US policy.

[LymphocyteLover]

42. True. But China and India have their own issues and I'm not sure how much help they

can give Russia.

Same for South America.

[pwb]

21. I say mass troops on every country bordering Russia.

Take that little comrade.

[Model35mech]

30. Yes, he'd be forced to counter by moving troops, too

and tying those troops down means theyy wouldn't be available to make war in Ukraine.

[SheltieLover]

22. Britain is provoking Ukraine?

Pootin is as delusional as his puppet.

[DavidDvorkin]

33. A UK government official said that Ukraine has the right to attack Russian territory

in response to Russian attacks on Ukraine. I assume that's the "provoking" the Russians have in mind.

[Igel]

35. The point is you love Russia or you want to destroy Russia.

There's not a lot of middle ground there.

After all, Russia's convinced it's the epitome of goodness and caring, so only somebody truly evil--a nazi!--could be neutral, much less anti-Russia.

To allow that Ukraine's attacking its attacker isn't a big deal is to be neutral--which is to say, to be a dire enemy.

[roamer65]

23. Orcland...FUCK OFF.

[LymphocyteLover]

24. Orcland-- LOL!

Time to sneak into Mordor and destroy their "ring of power"

[Model35mech]

26. Proportional to what? Encouragement of an invaded nation to counter-attack?

That's pretty funny. Who has Britain invaded so that a 'proportional response' can be made.


Russia seems to have more bluster than living generals.

[amcgrath]

27. What is proportional response

to someone expressing an opinion ?

Putin has devolved the Russian presidency to the level of a basement dwelling troll.

[yardwork]

41. It reminds me of something...

A troll-like creature hiding and tweeting... where have we seen that before...

[Initech]

28. Putin needs a boot up his ass!

[paleotn]

29. Yea, whatever.

What are they going to do? Invade Ukraine?

[oldsoftie]

31. Hahahahahaha!

[Evolve Dammit]

32. Direct threats need to be met with equally direct consequences. This is a dangerous time.

Moscow should be facing (minimally) a threat of strikes right now. Don't bully or threaten the world or you will pay. Enough Vlad. Die already. It's tragic your citizenry knows nothing of your atrocities in Ukraine. Kinda like the Nazis. The free world is not going to be held hostage to your continued, unprovoked, unwarranted acts of genocide. Use a nuke or chemical, and you will pay dearly. Nuff said.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

36. Just like an abusive spouse

[Martin68]

37. Fuck Putin and the country he despotically rules.

Putin threatens nuclear attack and various undefined "consequences". He knows full ell, he doesn't hold a winning hand. It's a bluff.
