In an interview with pro-Kremlin newspaper Lenta.ru, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Russia perceives the transfer of F-16 fighters to Ukraine as a nuclear threat due to what Lavrov says is the jets’ capacity to carry nuclear weapons.
And just like every other nuclear threat Russia has made in the last 2 years, nothing will happen.
Does Putin keep Medvedev, Shoigu, and Lavrov around to make himself feel more intelligent by comparison?
Medvedev, yes. Shoigu because he’s been around since the USSR and knows how not to rock the boat, and Lavrov because even though he’s very competent, he wants to retire but Putin won’t let him. This war has just highlighted for those of us outside Russia how ridiculous and detached from reality they all are; Lavrov has been instrumental in creating the appearance that Russia was “westernizing” all these years.

That was majorly Gerard Schroder’s and Angela Merkel’s doing.

Lavrov could carry a nuclear weapon. Is Lavrov a nuclear threat? Not to mention that Russia actually has access to weapons in said class, unlike Ukraine and F-16-deployable nuclear weapons, and theoretically one could be strapped to Lavrov.
Only threat Lavrov is, is depressing everyone with his miserable as fuck face.
Good point. I think Lavrov should be checked every day, to make sure he can still breathe with his head up his butt. Not for his benefit, so much as to see if he also has a nuke in there.
