What does como + subjuntivo mean?

ExpressionNeutro

if she turns out to be… — the conditional threat

Como with the subjunctive introduces something you fear or something you are threatening: como sea otra vez lo mismo, como llueva me quedo en casa, como lleguemos tarde te juro que… It is neither the como of comparison nor the one of cause. It nearly always carries an unpleasant consequence behind it, which is why it sounds like a warning even when it is a joke.

Como no llames tú, no llama nadie.
A warning, and an instruction underneath it.
