Nuclear tsunamis. Remember how they opened with that? Or threatening north European countries that it would immediately regret it if they joined NATO. They joined NATO and there was no response.

Medvedev threatens Ukraine with nuclear tsunamis almost every single day, but it’s clearly a clinical case of vodka-induced delirium

We've already had to deal with (and laugh) at their claim that they can sink the entire UK with a sarmat missile. This is nothing new. Putin raised the nuclear spectre at the start of the Ukraine war to try and scare countries off supporting Ukraine.

Yes! US, UK, France & Germany are all worried about Russian tanks invading (get real!). Poland is VERY tired of this blabber...for good reason!

Putin is definitely insane, you don’t throw your own people into a meat grinder just to r***, murder and pillage another nation unless you’re batshit crazy. Trump is just so ridiculously incompetent he makes all the other dictators look good by comparison. They were at least qualified for their roles as evil despots, Trump was a trust fund baby whose greatest personal achievement was hosting a reality show.

Honestly, if Russia could have just sat peacefully over the last 15 years, continued to do extremely profitable business with Europe and just waited for the right moment, they would have been positioned extremely well to be a viable alternative to the US. It would have been the biggest “told you so” moment (kind of like France) and could have paved the way for integrating with the rest of Europe on an equal basis. But they had to go for war of aggression…

RonstoppableRon Apr 5, 2026 +1
Russia has half the population of the US and hardly has a middle class, so nowhere close to the same consumer base; it would never be a viable alternative to the US, economically speaking.

Russia will happily parade an issue when they happen to be on the side of right and just and US is providing them plenty of fodder. Just like Trump declared he must topple the Iranian regime to help the poor oppressed people. Both are just opportunistically virtue signalling.

Trump voted with Russia's position on the war at the UN last year. Not an abstention, but a vote in favour of Putin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United\_Nations\_General\_Assembly\_Resolution\_ES-11/7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly_Resolution_ES-11/7) Belarus, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Hungary, Israel, Mali, Marshall Islands, Nicaragua, Niger, North Korea, Palau, Russia, Sudan, United States

You have to treat Russian comments and motives like an electron: you can know where it is, but not what it's doing there; you can know what it's doing, but not who it's doing it for; or you can know where it's doing it, and who it's doing it for, but you don't know what it is.

**The Russians are reaching the pinnacle of morality.** The same disgusting people who murdered civilians in Busha. The same people who executed hundreds at the Mariupol theater. The same people who kidnapped Ukrainian children and made them disappear in the darkness. The same people who kill Ukrainian civilians daily. Because the majority of Russians support your criminal leader, you are also guilty of war crimes. The day of reckoning is upon you.

You could easily substitute Russia for US/Israel, and Ukraine for Gaza/Palestine/Lebanon (etc)

AdPure5645 Apr 5, 2026 +12
No you could'nt. Ukraine was not an aggressor in any respect. Middle East and Israel have been at each other's throats for tens of years.

AnotherGerolf Apr 6, 2026 +5
You can't. If you don't understand that, then you are dumb. Explanation for dummies: Ukraine did not fund terrorists that attack neighbouring countries for years and did not fund groups that launch missiles weekly into Russia for a decade. Ukraine does not have religious zealots in control of the government and Ukraine does not have any regional ambitions at all.

The issue is that Iran recognised they agreed to an end to hostilities in the 12 day war to easily. As it just allowed the US to regroup and strike again. So they want the message to really arrive by drawing it out. Some reports say they want to drag it till the election in November.
8
SeltsamerNordlander Apr 5, 2026 +3
Indeed. They will drag it as long as it takes to get meaningful, material concessions. There's no other logical path for them.

smltor Apr 5, 2026 +1
I feel like the timing on the recent Trump tirades is outside the normal windows for market manipulation and he might actually be rattled on this one. I'm sure the pilot was scary for him, if Iran had got the guy first that could have been horrific for his political stuff, especially after saying he likes guys that don't get captured.

ByWillAlone Apr 5, 2026 +3
Ultimatums are guaranteed to make things worse. Russia knows this. Russia also knows that telling trump he's doing it wrong will only cause him to double down to prove his rightness. Russia knows this also. Since Russia ultimately wants the outcome to be a more crippled US, this is a great play for them, they are playing trump like a fiddle and they'll achieve exactly what they want: a more crippled and less respected US in the end. It's just unfortunate that the entire administration and half of America are too stupid to see it happening right before their eyes.

I'm no diplomat but i'm pretty sure it motivates Iran to keep it closed even more. I'm guessing Trump just likes to hear himself talk and sound like a strong man whatever the circumstances, in this case he is addressing a message to himself more than the Iranians..

It's OK Russia, no one believes in the ultimatums. The entire power of ultimatums is that it forces the other party to act or else something bad happens. If they can be ignored because you go back to negotiating or move the deadline to another date, then it's not a real ultimatum.

Always remember: Russia never wanted to prove to its people they are better than the United States - it was always that the United States was just as bad. Russia is simultaneously feeding intel to Iran about Israeli military and power sites, while also pushing the US to be more aggressive with Iran. Manipulating Trump seems to be pretty easy.
