Putin orders nuclear deterrent forces status raised to ‘special combat readiness’ (1 Viewer)

[Chainsawmassacre]

I'm not exactly sure what this means in real terms but it sure doesn't sound good. Putin is evil and becoming desperate and it's not comforting to know he has the ability to launch nukes at any time. Hopefully someone in his inner circle will take this psychopath out if he starts reaching for the button. There has to be discord developing in the higher ranks.



"Putin ordered the Russian defense minister and the chief of the military's General Staff to put the nuclear deterrent forces in a "special regime of combat duty." The move signals tensions could boil over into a nuclear war. "

Scary stuff, no doubt.....what's the world going to do if he launches short range small nuclear weapons on the Ukrainian people?.....with what he's doing now, it's very possible, imo.....he's got a screw or two loose. Somebody's going to have to take him out, for the sake of world peace. This is how world wars begin.

I doubt that it is any Russian equivanant to DEFCON.

Putin’s generals may not know what it is either.

It may be one sign that the Russian position is beginning to fall apart.

On, the other hand, it may be a sign that Putin is thinking about doing something really stupid.

It is tough to tell.

I would hope it’s Sabre rattling since his invasion is not going as planned.

This is a must win war for Putin and it's not going well for him. Desperate people do desperate things.

Didn’t Putin say he would take Kiev in 3 hours and he’s on Day 5? His credibility is going south fast.

Exactly right. Things going bad for Russian in Ukraine could be very bad news for the world. The more desperate his position becomes the more brutal and irrational he will be

Our official doctrine states we will annihilate Russia in response.

He had visions of Blitzkrieg and France. Ukraine is making a fool of him.

That's not comforting.

 

[HIP56948]

If I were a higher up in the Russian society/Arms position, I'd certainly think what would happen if Putin sent nuclear warheads toward Ukraine. Not just the regular screw up but..
What if one malfunctioned a hit a NATO country? My homeland (Russia) could be turned into a F"""ing parking lot.
I would do something drastic.

 

[Deuce]

That's not comforting.

There's really no part of nuclear weapons existing that is comforting.

Dang!

That little strutting twerp is really sick.

Surely he is aching for a breaking.

There is absolutely ZERO gain from taking over a nuclear wasteland PLUS finding that your country is TOTALLY frozen out of the world economy AND having 100% of the assets of your country's citizens seized if they are located outside of your own country.

But, of course, absolutely no one if Russia knows that - right?

He likely assumed that President Zelensky would follow the same cowardly path taken by the Afghan President who fled when the Taliban was moving into Kabul and that Ukraine’s military forces would disintegrate as occurred in Afghanistan. He miscalculated badly. He is now faced with united opposition to his invasion. Russia’s geopolitical position will likely be diminished at the end of this conflict.

Under the Biden administration.....bought and paid for......who knows?

All true of sane people.

Not overly surprising, but there ARE some sane people in the Russian power structure (I hesitate to dignify it with the name "government").

I don't think the world can take the chance.....Putin deserves death for invading Ukraine in the first place, now threatening "nuclear" attacks.....he has got to go, and in a very fast manner, for the sake of world peace and innocent lives, period. This should NOT be taken lightly and just sit back and wait to see what he does.....no, no, no.....take him out now, forthwith, imo.

Pathetic trolling.

Pathetic trolling.

Most corrupt president in history....well known today.

Actually he did not "threaten 'nuclear' attacks". What he did do is say that he would strike back if anyone launched a nuclear attack on Russia.

.....he has got to go, and in a very fast manner, for the sake of world peace and innocent lives, period.

Agreed.

This should NOT be taken lightly and just sit back and wait to see what he does.....no, no, no.....take him out now, forthwith, imo.

For some reason I don't like advocating that governments take illegal actions such as murdering the head of other countries. And, quite frankly, I don't care if the advocating is being done by "OUR Guys" or by "THEIR Guys".

Why NOT, call Mr. Putin's bluff and shunt 100,000 US military personnel into Ukraine on a crash basis, each one of them equipped with a large American flag and with every vehicle pained with a large USA on its sides, front, rear, and top?

When Putin says to place his nuclear teams on heightened awareness or however you wish to express it, while at the same time invading a foreign country, you betcha your bottom dollar it's a threat. We simply cannot sit back and wait and see, what Putin does next....a couple of sniper teams and take his ass out.

Yep, it is a threat to shoot back.

We simply cannot sit back and wait and see, what Putin does next..

Possibly. Then again, possibly the US doesn't actually have any practicable options left now that it has dispatched almost the entirety of its Quick Reaction Force.

..a couple of sniper teams and take his ass out.

And you are going to get those sniper teams in to Russia and close enough to shoot Mr. Putin WITHOUT getting caught? How?

Oh, I know, you are going to use an unmarked drone that has no serial numbers on any of its parts that can "loiter" over wherever it is that Mr. Putin is located for three or four weeks without being detected and then use the remotely controlled on-board weaponry to assassinate him.

Ssssssssssssuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee you are.
