General Discussion

Relax. Crunchy Frog doesn’t fit the definition of a socialistic nihilist. He/She’s comment isn’t likely to cause Putin to start WW3. I read the comment with a view that CF is frustrated and tired of the useless threats from Russia. That’s all it was. DU is not a cesspool of socialistic nihilists. It is a place where you should be allowed to express frustration.

You will hear Russia, through its spokespeople, threaten nukes whenever they have no diplomacy to counter the retaliation they perceive could happen. We’ve heard it for three years. We are just tired of it. In no way do we wish for WW3. Russia is exceptionally stupid with their rhetoric. Rather than ceasing their unwarranted war, they would rather threaten a war in which they would be reduced to a grease spot on the tundra.

Nobody was after Russia. Putin miscalculated, after their stunning annexation of other counties’ territory, and Crimea, and thought he could just walk in and take the seaports, rare earth, and the farmland. They were wrong. And yet, they keep digging the hole where they are currently mired, and periodically threaten the world with nukes.

I think we are all up and down, day to day, and it is precisely because we DO care what happens to others that our frustration levels fluctuate. We just wish that someone would punch Putin in the face, and make him stop. Sometimes the balance of the equation is like for like. It was just an expression of frustration, and being sick of being threatened. No need to make any more of it than that.
