It's just the cold war was always displayed as this phase of fear and uncertainty. However, I just feel tired and annoyed by the constant babbling. Like, when I constantly read those nuclear threats from Russia I don't shudder and cower, I just roll my eyes and groan.He should either throw the bombs and end civilization or just shut up already. It's not like anyone could do anything about it either, so why even give a fuck about it?
I get it. It is boring rhetoric and simply shows Putin in a dick-measuring contest with himself.
But Ukraine cares 'cause Congress' power struggle is directly affecting their ability to battle against that fuckwad for their lives and country.
Maybe Putin made a mistake here tho by (possibly) showing his hand, ie: he may be considering the use of a low yield nuclear weapon in Ukraine and used this "warning" to keep America at bay. This is only a guess tho.
