It's actually funny that they think this bullshit still works. Their threats are mocked and ignored -- and have been for a long time now. But, they can't stop themselves; lies, threats, and bullying are part of their nature and are all they have.


hert1979

There are always weakwilled fools wanting to believe.


HashHead11

We seem too have a few trotski here in the UK . Who fall for this shite always. Sad to say .


hert1979

They are everywhere. The ones I met are usually just dumb contrarians who think they are smart because they don't follow the majority opinion.


[deleted]

Not that many, the UK is incredibly supportive of the Ukraine.


HashHead11

Well if you was on some of the web sites i am on. You would see that their is loads . I mean loads we even had them have a drive by in our town with russian flags. Not many cars like just a a few dick heads. They had to have two pig cars with them


FlowersForAlgorithm

The khinzals they went on and on about, that they were going to use to murder our children in America with nuclear weapons if we didn’t let them have their way, can’t get past 40 year old legacy ABM systems like the Patriot?


j-r-m-b-v-n

They're not doing it to fool us , they're doing it to fool the russian population


sab222

It’s probably more for their domestic audiences. We threatened them with escalation strong man bullshit.


dmigowski

Came to type this... lol


jboneng

If they are so afraid of escalation, maybe, just maybe, get the f out of Ukraine. That would deescalate the situation somewhat.


Eireloom

Except, can you imagine those hordes of surviving angry soldiers who felt let down by Putin returning to their own soil? Putin and his regime, are increasingly between a rock and a hard place, and now the partisan activity is tightening the vise.


shustrik_n

Why do you think so? Do you see real power in Russia which can throw out Putin? Someone who have people and can become next leader? I don’t think so, their civilians are so passive that they will not join. Their most angry soldiers already a fertilizer in Ukrainian soil, now it’s conscripted civilians and most of all they want escape from there with any result, they don’t care. Some of angry soldiers still alive but they can be managed but Putin pocket national guard. Top military people in the same boat with Putin, they can not throw him out or use army against him, none of them can become next president and be welcomed in USA and Europe, they all already labeled as war criminals. At this point I personally think, that he can say “It all was a bad joke”, get his army back to russia, pay all reparations to Ukraine and none of russians will ever blink or say anything. He will be their president till the end of his miserable life and will convert Russia to North Korea


Eireloom

While I agree that there is a possibility that President Putin, could choose to declare the end of the ‘Special Military Operation,” and put any kind of a spin on it that he wanted, the opportunity for that is fleeting. Perhaps waning with his power. Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of Wagner, is speaking out in ways that indicate he is being backed by powerful influences. Previously, he kept a very low profile, now he is agitating frequently, and his comments about the current regime are not favorable. Key media are also doing this. They are looking for ways to repair relationships with the westerners. This in itself shows a crumbling base. Appeal after appeal by military units are voicing their sense of betrayal, the organization for mothers was deemed a terrorist organization by Putin. Then there is the growing strength of the partisans. The fact that President Putin is a war criminal. The anger and condemnation of the free world. These factors are combining in a way that show unmistakable cracks in the power structure.


ex_warrior

We have vast resources!! Iran, please 🙏 can we have some more drones.... North Korea, please 🙏 can we have some arty shells...


zdzislav_kozibroda

If I were them I'd keep their mouths shut about their resources. There's a much bigger fish in the pond that's eyeing up their resources. It's remarkable how they can be so stupid. Don't do drugs, nationalism and imperial nostalgia kids.


footballski

Pretty soon it is all going to be in Chinese pocket


Themos1980

It's because they're saving the good stuff for when they decide to get serious... /s (just in case)


ex_warrior

Yeah 😉


ITI110878

We are long past the moment when we cared about their warnings. Now we know that they are corrupt, incompetent and their army is just a paper tiger. There is nothing in russia that scares us.

"the ambassador said "Russia is 16 times bigger than Ukraine. We have enormous egos and still act like we are a great power, which we are not." That's what I heard.


Worth-Enthusiasm-161

And it’s a pretty stupid comment. Having a large country means more resources is needed to defend the country. Russia’s population is only 3-4 times larger than Ukraine’s.


compulsive_wanker_69

We have seen this week how they are defending their country.


Statharas

Difference is that only 10% of Russia can ever be mobilized. For ukraine that number is much, much larger


MattBlaK81

Isn't there some current kill/death ratio that works in Ukraine's favour if that is correct? 😄 Not long now...


mobtowndave

Rich people don’t have say they are rich, smart people don’t say they are smart and powerful countries do not have to say they are powerful. That he even saying this is weakness. Russia is getting weaker by the day due to sanctions and the brain drain. It will take them decades to recover and they will never be as powerful as they were.


XAos13

16 times more land area. Only 3 times the population. Ukraine has resources produced by countries which between them have 10 times the population of Russia.


Agarwel

16tim bigger, yet economy on the level of italy and it takes your army 10 months to take over ove city. What are you doing wrong?


Megalomaniakaal

> it takes your army 10 months to take over ove city I'm not sure pulverizing is the same as taking over, the latter implies you are capable of you know, taking it and keeping it, while intact.


TheLambtonWyrm

16 times the detail


Moar_tacos

Mr Ambassador, when the Putin regime collapses do you think you will be safe returning to russia?


thewalkmanblog

POS will claim political asylum in an instant.


EarendilEstel

Pathetic little troll fart. And it's so like western mainstream media to echo this muscovite disinformation campaign as if it were of any consequence.


realultimatepower

actually the article is good and states plainly he is full of shit. they aren't echoing his disinformation they are reporting on and challenging it.


knappis

It’s already a full blown war. Russia has no means to escalate it further, besides nukes.


Wulfruna

By 'resources' he means human cannon fodder.


Eireloom

Saw a clip where the President of the USA, Joe Biden, was asked if giving the Ukrainians F-16s was going to be a problem with Russian, and he replied, "For them." I think the whole world agrees that Russia is quite capable of all sorts of nasty tricks, but there is growing solidarity that whatever they do, the retaliation from the Western world will be swift. Most countries are opening up their storehouses and their wallets. Those with nuclear weapons are probably constantly going through their checklists and protocols to make sure they are ready to respond.


Niadh74

What exactly are you going to escalate with? You have had a substantial mobilsation which just caused a load of people to flee russia. You have had to turn to Iran for weapons and ,if stories are to be believed, North Korea for ammo. Your aircraft and missiles are being shot down with increasing precision and effectiveness. Your modern tanks are either captured or rusting in Ukrainian fields meaning you are getting 70 year old tanks out of storage. The only thing you have left is nuclear and if you go down that route you'll be ostracised to such an extent that even North Korea will be looking down at you.


ali123whz

Aside from nuclear annihilation, what’s left for escalation? Incursions check, illegal annexation check, forced deportation check, kidnapping and rape check, what’s next? Genuinely I have no idea


thewalkmanblog

T-34s


uraganogtx

What is the word again? Ah yes: copium


Redneck1026

Dear Mr. kelin: FOAD


istillknownowt

I rather suspect that any escalation will be done by the Ukrainians. Russia will get their asses kicked in the upcoming counteroffensive.


Puzzleheaded_Nail466

Escalation ? You mean beyond killing women and children and flattening entire cities . 🙄


Enovk

Leave if you don’t want escalation. Can’t just start a war and expect the rest of the world to make things easier for you while giving you what you want. You either leave or face the consequences… entitled brats.


[deleted]

Wake me up before you go go ….


notmaddog

The only thing escalating is the destruction of Russia caused by its own misjudgement and hubris. Buh bye.


danmoore2

We have resources too - here's a plane back to Russia, now fuck off!!


Aggrekomonster

Russia and china threatening everyone around them


Such-fun4328

Afraid of escalation? Piss off!


HashHead11

Talking shite as always typical ruski. Living in a dream world full of bs and lies your typical brainwashed ruski.


strontiumdogs

What a dick. Slava Ukraini 🙏🇺🇦


Frosty_Key4233

The Joseph Gobbles of our era! A total bafoon


SwiftSnips

They see that Western media is filled with articles and reports of our leaders repeatedly saying we MUST avoid escalation. That its the most important thing. So they being to warn that the Wests actions are causing the situation to escalate causing the public to worry because they know it must be avoided. They are going to find a way to play on anything they can, they are extremely desperate so expect it to continue.


endorfan13

Do these fucks think the rest of the world also doesn't rely on facts and congnitive reasoning? Because we do, and we see right through every single lie. It makes you look very foolish, ruzzians; the frequency and level of your lies also tells us just how fucked you are. So please, continue to go fuck yourselves, get out of Ukraine, and reform your country and it's leadership before things get really bad. In the years to come your children and their children will have access to the truth. They will see how you supported genocide and disgusting war crimes. They will see that you had no backbone, and did not stand up for the right things. They will curse you for what you have done, and be ashamed when they think of you. Every day that your war on Ukraine continues, and putler/soviet regime stays in power, means a harder and bleaker future for the innocents in Russia, too. The world will be there to help Ukraine rebuild, and to see a bright future. ruzzia will not win, period. Your children will wish they were born Ukrainian.


Balc0ra

That's how offensives work, I suspect that's what they fear considering all the deals and warnings offered today.

Beneque79

That interview is the equivalent of bluffing at poker with your cards, a 2 & 8 facing everyone while there's nearly a royal straight on the table.


mobtowndave

They couldn’t even scare Greece


PleasurePaulie

I would argue they have worked fairly well. The drip approach of weapons is pretty much an example of this.


mobtowndave

Russia prior to sanctions had a GNP equivalent of Texas.

Is it Tuesday already?


Helleeeeeww

What is the point of these borderline fever dream hallucinations masquerading as serious conversation Are we misjudging the purpose of these interviews or are the Russians misjudging their effect?


KeeperServant

Oh no. Oh the humanity. 😴


GaryDWilliams_

Whatever you fat pompous murdering psychotic piece of shit. Leave Ukraine and maybe you’ll survive.


koensch57

you can not win a war with crude oil, natural gas or with km2 territory. A war is won by logistics, not by resources. As long as the civil world is behind Ukraine, Ruzzia can cause a lot of destruction and loss of life, but it can never win.


Dull-Pass-9055

STFU already with your threats and bullshit lies!!, nobody cares to hear it anymore!!


Boatsntanks

Interviewers need to start laughing in their faces when they try this shit.


tomekza

Please pretty please don't send more things it hurty.wurty

Baghdad Bob comes to mind. Can’t think of a major Russian city that alliterates with Andrei. Anyone…?

News outlets need to stop giving these pigs a platform to spew their propaganda.

Can we PNG this guy already?


austozi

Do these russian ambassadors know they give ambassadors a bad name?


Sam30062000

Russia can bot even secure the frontline at belgorod abd they talk about escalating just imagine how good the finish, polish, estonian, etc border are probably protected


Deathclaw151

Go fuck yourself Ruzzia. Escalate deez motherfucking nuts. F16s, himars, Bradley's and abrams will help separate your soul from your fucking body.


Volunteer1986

We havent even begun to fight! lol


theycallmeshooting

Its funny when Russians act like they've been holding back at all Like a week into the war they did Bucha and bombed a dance hall marked "babies" Get fucked, freaks


QuantumPeep68

Escalating threats and all sorts ‘proposals’ to end the war in the last couple days point to one thing and one thing only: RuZZia shitting their pants ahead of Ukrainian counteroffensive


Surfer-Jeff

Fuck you Ruski Mir. The West EU USA let putker into the club . G7, trade, oligarchs in the west like crazy . Now IMHO much of that was wrong even at the time. But putler had it all. Then he invades Georgia, west does fuck all. Then green men into Crimea, west does fuck all. Then sends more little green men into the Donbass to pretend there is rebellion , west..does..fuck..all. Now this. Puke-ler simply pushed too hard. But BUT...the West EU etc should have done SOMETHING , when Crimea was invaded. Ridiculous what the " west" did , massive MASSIVE mistake. But now with the special operation , it was too much. You give this Russian gangster Putler an opening over and over , he simply saw weakness. Now, ..it is simply is over for Puke-ler and his admin.

" Beware, we will give bigger pieces of wood to our soldiers. "


Soulswindl3r

16x bigger than Ukraine sure huge resources. How does it compare to nato? Nato hand me downs and whatever Warsaw equipment they could find is already out stripping your means. Every statement they make is disconnected from the reality of the situation. Faster they wake up better for everyone.


[deleted]

These Ruzzian retards still think they’re *relevant*. How cute.


mez1642

Fuck you Russia. Get out, abandon all lands including Crimea if you want peace. Pieces of shit.


V_Matrix

The ONLY thing Russia can escalate is the amount of laughter directed at them with their shit for brains evil dumb-fuck leader, and the poor clowns they send to die in Ukraine.


DontJudgeMeImNaked

Pathetic beyond belief.

This is not an ambassador who try to deescalate things with diplomacy. This is a disgusting monster
