Russian Deadline

The 'Russian Deadline' refers to the commonly made promise of the Russian Federation, specifically Vladimir Putin, on the deadline of military offensives. Similar to the Russian idiom 'China's Final Warning' (in Russian: последнее китайское предупреждение), the Russian Deadline is not completed by the date given, and in fact tends to go far over.

Examples of this include the beginning of the war in Ukraine, when Putin had told the press that the invasion would take a matter of a few weeks. - It has now been 2.5 years.

Another example, although incomplete, is the recent statement from Putin that he "has ordered the Ukrainian armed forces to be pushed out of the Kursk region by October 1st". - As a solid counter offensive has yet to even be constructed, this is highly sceptical.
"Thomas said people would start showing up around 4, but that seems to be a Russian Deadline."

Canadian Deadline

A deadline which, if missed, bears no consequences or can be extended indefinitely.
My professor at UofT said we need to hand in our papers by Friday, but we all know that’s a Canadian deadline. I’ll ask for an extension until next month, and come up with some excuse for it.

There is no deadline

Stop telling them that there is a deadline.
Hym "There is no deadline. If I have to wait for your pretend, imaginary deadline that I am TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW DOESN'T EXIST... I swear... I will do 100% of the thing I said I would do. So... From this point on, I am going to 1% of the things I said I would do for every day that I have to wait. I will decide which of those thing constitute 1% and I will do those things in the absolute."
