How The War Escalated in Ukraine | The Russell Howard Hour

He wouldnt have to use the nuclear threat if he could actually organize an invasion of a country ten times smaller. He couldnt organize a pissup in a vodka distillery

[@burnyizland]

Or if he didn't attack another innocent country to begin with.

[@tripwire3992]

@@burnyizland thats what im sayin, he couldnt organise it and war analysts all over the world knew it would fail based of how shit csechnya (i cant spell) went. They predicted that the modern russian army would even struggle to invade north korea

[@burnyizland]

@@tripwire3992 No, it's not what you're saying. I'm saying he shouldn't have brought aggression where none was warranted. You're calling him a shit strategist at facilitating the aggression. Not the same point at all.

[@hazmania]

Thank god Putin DID NOT organise the illegal invasion more efficiently! It’s a tragedy & a crime that it happened at all. Putin is a war criminal, so are his generals & soldiers. Shame on NATO for not giving more aid initially.

I live in a coastal South Carolina tourist town. And tourists will wear the craziest t-shirts, so you become kinda immune to NSFW in your face on someone’s chest. Really don’t even notice the design nowadays… But I was at the grocery store this past Sunday and saw an older gentleman (in his 70’s?) in a t-shirt that said “Puck Futjn”…. I just giggled, complimented him and he said “my mom is up there (points up) either rollin’ her eyes or laughin’ her ass off! But she was Ukrainian so I’m pretty sure she’s lovin’ it!!” Coolest dude I met this summer.

[@burnyizland]

OMG I was at a family fair in my hometown 2 days ago and this woman, with 2 kids under 10 in tow, was proudly wearing a shirt that said, "Hotter than a hoochie's cooch." WHAAAAT?

Russell is definitely one of the best satirists of our era! He makes us laugh, even as we want to cry, given our understanding of the severity of what Putin is doing to the Ukraine, and also to his own people. 16 "Oligarchs' mysteriously dying? I smell a leader who is fearful of those who might have the courage to oppose him.

[@ruthmckay9086]

I quite agree - although if I were Russell Howard I wouldn't be venturing near any high windows for the foreseeable future. I can't believe there's even a word for it: Defenestration. Mind you, I suppose it's become so... well... prevalent in Putin's Russia, they had to call it *something*.

[@weswheel4834]

I thought "Don't." was a reasonable response. Trump would have talked about how much of a genius Putin is, and some leaders would have threatened Armageddon. I thought "Don't" acted as a warning but gave nothing away.

[@andhi100]

He hardly demonstrates the leadership qualities expected from a president. (Neither off them so).

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

I thought it was quite a reasonable reply. I'm not sure what more is really required.

[@weswheel4834]

I watch an ex-teacher on youtube and he's previously talked about how not following through on threats loses you credibility. For example if a teacher says "The next kid to make a noise in this classroom gets expelled" and then doesn't follow through with it. Biden's response avoids falling into this trap without saying something too vague such as "Well, there would be consequences."

[@medealkemy]

Speak quietly but carry a big stick 🤷‍♀️

[@hmvaa]

He vocalised weakly and Trump would not call Putin a genius in response to Nuclear threats, you’re going off of an interview and missing context out. Trump is against the war in Ukraine & wouldn’t have sounded soft when saying don’t; Biden said “don’t” with weak intonation. Playing Devil’s Advocate for an actual racist fascist bigot like Biden is weird, do your own research.

[@vigilantsycamore8750]

Any time you end a threat with "I'm not bluffing" it tells everyone you're trying to scare that the closest thing you have to a nuclear bomb is a can of old beans.
