Vladimir Putin has warned the West he will use nuclear weapons if he feels threatened.
During his speech at the St Petersburg Economic Forum, the Russian leader said that while he is not threatening the world with nukes, he is ready to use them to protect his country.
The Russian President who looked sweaty and bloated during his lengthy speech said: "One irresponsible politician would blurt something out, then another - at a very high level, by the way, at the level of, say, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the top officials there are holding forth on this subject.
"And we’re supposed to say nothing? We answer accordingly. As soon as we answer, [everyone] latches onto that: ‘Look, Russia’s issuing threats!’
"We are not threatening! But everyone needs to know that we have it and we will use it if necessary to protect our sovereignty."

That would require Biden to do more than the bare minimum on something for once. And for him not to be asleep in the oval office.
Caleb Cox

>Why are Russians like this? You never see Western countries threatening to nuke people Are you KIDDING? USA doctrine from the very start was to use nuclear weapons. The plan was to turn europe into a radioactive battlefield so the Russians couldn't take it. The USA even had options for first strikes with nuclear weapons.

Now, don't pay dumb and pretend they weren't going for Kiev at first.

As long as he nukes Washington DC, New York, and Los Angeles, then we are good. I'm sure there are more but I don't feel like typing a bunch of fucking dumb shit. Basically destroy all the large cities and leave the rest of us out of it and we will gladly not give a fuck.
