This could be be really worrying, or taken out of context, but I have feeling Russia play game play on words that it comes across threatening
Russia's foreign minister has issued a warning that the West won't be the only ones marking the anniversary of the conflict on 24 February with something to "gain the world's attention".
You have to temper this 'announcement' with the knowledge that we now have of the extent to which the Russians are completely full of shit!
This is a nation who can't even keep one single aircraft carrier in running order on the high seas. A nation that has to send ocean going tugs out with its major naval deployments as its warships are so unreliable, a nation whose tanks explode like a jack-in-a-box when hit with an anti-tank missile as they have been unable to develop effective anti-missile systems for their tanks.
Of course they do have the world's largest nuclear arsenal BUT the missiles and the warheads themselves require considerable maintenance and, based on their other 'vehicle's' performance so far in Ukraine, it seems most unlikely that they will have had it! My suspicion is that if they try to use one or more nuclear weapons, there is a major danger that one or more will explode on launch, fail to explode altogether or the missile carrying it will fail to launch.
@Paulos_the_fog @Legend You could say some of this about Britain, as nixed by Russia.
“This is a nation who can't even keep one single aircraft carrier in running order on the high seas. A nation that can’t afford major naval deployments as its warships are so unreliable, a nation whose tanks break down constantly…”
@Warycat @Paulos_the_fog actually yeah, someone replied yesterday about uk arsenal being so large, I must admit I thought to myself yes, aren't a load of navy warships gubbed 🤦♀️
@Paulos_the_fog yup, thats probably not good thing either, if something goes off when it shouldn't because it's not maintained and what direction it goes
