Netizens weigh in on Russia's nuclear war threat

@Di_DDShit said:

"No one is underestimating it, people are just tired of Russia's nuke threats just to get a free pass on what Putin wants. Putin and you are blackmailing the world to instil fear but in the end, might make them immune and take it as a challenge instead."

@markbritt70 said:

"If Russia's nukes work as well as the rest of their army we have nothing to fear."

@kapahajai said:

"With Washington effectively arming the Ukrainians against the Russians, Moscow would want to protect itself and so with Ukraine backed by the West and Kremlin fighting in the east of the country, the Donnas, a nuclear incident could occur, hopefully not."

@johnoeffinger75 said:

"If the Russian missiles are maintained like its tanks and trucks, they might not make it out of the silo."

@heywood_nic said:

"Yep, Russia should not underestimate the West's threats of nuclear war if they continue to threaten other sovereign nations with nuclear war and invasion !! Right back at you, Russia !! If you bully expect retaliation !! "
