This is Blinken and Jared Kushner's robot-bastard cousin Sullivan's doing.

Just because he's on the way out, no need to take the rest of us with him. It's like they are having a tantrum after being told a resounding NO by the public, but instead of sippy cups and stuffed animals being thrown around it could be nuclear warheads.

I would expect a response from Russia fairly rapidly. So far all I've seen is the "throwing oil on the fire" comment.

The BBC had some douchebag from a war think tank saying Russia's "threats" would not be an issue:

Prof Justin Bronk of the defence think tank Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) has said the expected decision by the Biden administration to allow long-range US missiles to strike inside Russia will also "enable the UK storm shadow to be used in at least the same way".

Bronk added Russian threats of retaliation are unlikely to be considered a "significant deterrent" to the UK government at this stage.

Quoted by the BiBiC as if he was some kind of independent expert.
