"We see that here, unfortunately, the potential for conflict is growing. NATO is penetrating the region, new military-political blocs are being established, and new weapons systems that pose a threat to Russia are being deployed and planned for deployment."

Aaaand who caused all that?

Also, you aren't able to defend yourself against a country with about 25% the population size of Russia and a small fraction the size of the country. You haven't been able to conquer a small sliver off it, your oil infrastructure is in shambles, you lost over 1.5 million casualties, you lost a huge chunk of your military vehicles including very hard to replace aircraft, a good part of your black sea fleet is on the bottom of said sea, and now your capital is being regularly bombarded.

And you want to threaten NATO?

I would sing a slight bit less loud if I were you you genocidal fuck

Dictators love putting on costumes for Zelensky.

Zelensky should throw some shade and say something like, “What a pretty little sailor suit.” “How nice to play dress up.”

It’s meaningless, but you know it would get under ol puties skin.
