Russia makes nuclear threats and France just stares at them, with their hand hovering over the button.
Russia doesn't win a nuclear war, and they know this. It won't happen.
They also know that they can have peace if they leave Ukraine, so France joining the war is not an existential threat.
Honestly, we're more likely to get nuclear war if we cede this kind of power to them. Ignore them and there won't be a reason for nuclear proliferation.
While losing this war would not be an existential threat to Russia as a whole, it might very well be to Putin though
I agree. I just thought the image was provocative. I can't draw very well so I wrote it. France was actually one of the more aggressive advocates for nuclear weapons in the event of world war 3 during the Cold War. So in my head I see a French soldier with a cigarette in his mouth. He's staring dead eyed into the East and his hand is resting on a safety cover over a red button.
Let us know when we can officially say we're in WWIII
Might be a bit late for that. We had annexation of the
SudetenlandCrimea/Donbas a decade ago. There was invasion ofPoland2 years ago.
Wow macaroon is really pissed at Russia all of a sudden huh?
Isn't it due to the upcoming elections? Can he run again or does he want a Napoleonic legacy?
Maybe with a nuclear winter he won't have to leave France to gain the same experience.
Unfortunately this feels more like posturing than substance.
Apparently 2k are on the way? https://twitter.com/nexta_tv/status/1770096749576610087 Grain of salt as the sources are Russian but this is the kinda threats they'd make...
I am not sure what to think about this. I don't think Putin will escelate this war to nuclear war, but still, he's fucking crazy and might use tactical nuclear weapons or some other WMD's (Weapons of Mass Destruction).
Also I see why wouldn't they want to go directly to the south/eastern front, this would be hugely unpopular in France.
Afaik the US already declared to counter with a non nuclear response if Russia were to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
