Russian Politician Suggests Dropping Nuke on Island To "Prove" Power

[Uzkin]

It seems to me that youre taking theese forums a tad more serious than I do.

Serious? Lol no, as I said I've been enjoying this thread, it's been fun. Is this the part where you try to save face by saying your original post wasn't meant to be taken seriously? That you were just trolling? Do you admit to being a troll?

[Ishayu]

Huh? To be liberal is to be generous, giving. In political terms it's someone who favours increased spending to support the less well off. I have no idea how you managed to equate that with liberty and less government. I suppose the first 5 letters are the same . . .

Yeah, why would anybody think liberalism and liberals are in favour of Liberty? Crazy.

<_<

To be fair liberals have lost the plot in recent years, but it really is about Liberty.

We have sane politicians? When did that happen? [i assume you are Danish with that location]

No idea. The Soviets wanted to nuke Bornholm, Denmark as well. Dunno what they're trying to prove.

Save face? For what? For whom? An internet handle? You must be joking. As I said, you seem to feel personally offended by the OP, sorry if it hurt your feelings, but arguing with you at this point really seems pretty pointless.

Hehee. Aww too bad if you leave now, it's been so much fun. But you got the right idea, wearing the red suit :P

[zmp]

Aww this topic is boring, its not like the others that turn into the usual "USA BEST RUSSIA NOT BEST" discussions. Maybe there is still hope though..

daily mirror website says it all tbh

To be fair the Soviets also gave us back Bornholm when the US and Brits gave it to them.. kinda

The day one country uses an A-bomb, it's either going to get annihilated, or it's going to end the world.

As for any country, there's much more to lose, than that little tiny bit they think to gain.

not the actual me, welcome to the internet son.

This would only prove how long it takes to remove russia from the world map. Very bad advice . Someone should check why this guy hates sheeps.

Lol no, you can't judge a country based on what is said by some individuals or by some small minority without real political power. I'm sure you can find politicians with such fringe opinions in almost any country. The fact that you decided to single out such an instance from Russia, in order to take a swing against Russia, doesn't really tell us anything about Russia but rather is only an indication of your personal misguided prejudices.

But as I said, it's enjoyable to sit back and read all these comments shooting your opening post down.

I mean, except for the fact that Russia's foreign minister, it's defense minister and sometimes even Putin himself, have threatened to Nuke more populated parts of Europe.

Like, ya know, Denmark.

The guy may be fringe but the sentiment is not.

I was at the Faroe Islands for 2 years. It's a beautiful place, well worth visiting.

PS. I am outraged over so many threads with misleading titles.

[caervek]

Sorry for the whataboutism, but how come we never have threads whenever a loony American calls on their government to nuke something (I.E the middle east)? lol.

Nuking the Faroe Islands would seem to be in line with nuking the Rest of the Kingdom of Denmark *shrugs*

We do have those threads though

[caervek]

It is kind of comical that if this was a story about a mayor in Alabama calling on the US government to nuke the middle east people would be accusing the OP of making a bait thread and bashing America. Guess it's all fair games as long as nonsense threads are aimed at other countries.

Ofcourse we're the aggressive ones, stay classy Russia.

LOL don't ever take anything Vladimir Zhirinovsky says for serious. It has nothing to do with the Russian administration.

Suggesting to do something =/= threatening to do something. So, yes, Zhirinovsky's sentiment in this case *is* fringe. Neither Putin nor, I guess, the population in general is in favor of wiping out the Faroe islands in some random display of power.

We don't? Come on man, every time Trump says something aggressive-stupid, there is a thread about it. People see what they want to see, but in reality criticism towards Russian politicians pales in comparison to how much US and EU politicians get criticized around here.

But massive difference is whenever Trump says something stupid, you don't blame it on US and Obama. Yet whenever someone in Russia says something stupid, its front page news saying "RUSSIA BAD" and Putin is to blame.

Im pretty sure we had one, when trump said he wouldnt leave out using nukes in europe.
