Foreign users of the popular Reddit portal commented on the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin that in the event of a military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the whole of Europe will be drawn into this conflict.
Recall that Putin said this after talks with French President Emmanuel Macron.
“Do you understand or not that if Ukraine joins NATO and militarily reclaims Crimea, European countries will automatically be drawn into a military conflict with Russia. Of course, the potential of the joint NATO organization and Russia is not comparable, but we also understand that Russia is one of the leading nuclear powers, and in some components it is even ahead of many. There will be no winners,” Putin said.
After these words, the Reddit people – some jokingly, and some seriously – prepared for war.
“I was going to go on a diet… But since this is the case, it doesn’t seem to make sense. Cheeseburgers, I’m coming to you,” wrote Remarkable_Common220.
“If you want to end global warming, I think a nuclear winter is just right,” said SixethJerzathon.
“If the leaders want war, let them go at each other with rifles, the strongest will win. I served in the British army for five years and I know that these guys pretend to be gods, because they understand perfectly well that they will not have to suffer,” said Pretend-Rise-2318.
“How cool it is when a world leader comes out and says: we are ready to start a nuclear apocalypse,” wrote Culturedcivet.
“He does not threaten nuclear war directly. He says Russia has drawn the line. If someone crosses it, a war with NATO will begin. As for the part about nuclear war, he meant that the war between Russia and NATO can only end this way, because both sides have nuclear weapons. I think this is more of a statement than a threat,” JACCO2008 believes.
“It would be much clearer if he took off his shoe and tapped it on the podium. Yes, I am old,” wrote Pb-yepimlead.
