Putin orders nuclear deterrent forces to be on 'high alert' as tensions build over Ukraine
From NBC News Feb. 27, 2022, 6:44 AM MST
By Patrick Smith
President Vladimir Putin has ordered his military's nuclear deterrent forces to be on alert as international tension builds over Russia's four-day-old invasion of Ukraine.
Putin said in a meeting of top officials on Sunday that the move was in response to leading NATO powers making what he called “aggressive statements,” according to Tass, the state-owned Russian news agency.
Russia, like the United States, has thousands of nuclear warheads that it maintains as a deterrent to an attack.

This is a BFD. My assessment is Putin feels backed into a corner at the moment and is lashing out. The Ukraine invasion is shaping up to be a watershed event in world politics and global leadership.
What is a BFD?
We should respond in kind. We should never bow or cower to animals like Putin.
I think/hope that his use of "deterrence" is a sign this is just saber rattling.
No one seriously believes the West is going to preempt him with nukes.
Somehow the richest criminal in the world forgot that we don't consider economic acts as weapons of mass destruction quite yet.
Maybe we will after this.
Possible nukes being used, China considering attacking Taiwan because of the chaos. Xi getting cozy with Kim Jung Un and N. Korea firing off missles. Gas at record highs, food costs at record highs, Covid out of control.This is a BFD. My assessment is Putin feels backed into a corner at the moment and is lashing out.

i say good! As insufferable and spoiled the west is, we could really use a good nuking, and in a nuclear wasteland, the first thing to become meaningless is this sexual identity nonsense, only applicable to ivory towers which will no longer exist post nuke.This is a BFD.

Oh, what's the worst that can happen?If they’re raising their nuclear readiness, so are we.
We should respond in kind

They need Cadet Bonespurs to lead the charge.And what would that look like? Since Putin hasn't done anything to us? "Respond in kind"?

Putin and Russia invading our allies is doing something to us.
Putin and Russia destroying peace in the world is doing something to us.
Putin and Russia attempting to expand their country and taking over others is doing something to us.
Putin and Russia going on nuclear alert is doing something to us.
We live in this world. We are all part of this world. What is happening in Ukraine is not happening in a bubble. Whether at war or not, Russia is our enemy. They hate us at least at the government level. They hate what we represent. They hate our values. Their growing in power, against our allies, while we strongly state we will not allow this is Putin spitting in our face.
Is Ukraine an "ally"? What war did they help us with?
Meh. There is no "peace in the world". The USA has started more phony "wars" lately than anybody.
Hmmmm. Damned if I see where it is though. I dont live in Ukraine.
No it isnt. Nothing has changed at all in my life, I cant even tell that they are on "high nuclear alert". makes no difference to me.
I'm very alert as well. I'm on High Alert too.
Yeahhhhh....I gotta tell ya I'm just not that worried about it. Just give me some babes and some tasty buds and I'm gonna be alright man!
OK. Thats sort of what I'm doing, sounds like a plan!Enjoy your selfish self centered bubble.
Trump repealed sanctions on Russia. Trump tried to block military aid to Ukraine. Trump was buddies with Putin, had secret meetings with him, openly sided with Putin against our own intelligence agencies.Possible nukes being used, China considering attacking Taiwan because of the chaos. Xi getting cozy with Kim Jung Un and N. Korea firing off missles. Gas at record highs, food costs at record highs, Covid out of control.
Oh, WAIT!! The wokeys are in charge now. The old saying that "We get the government we deserve" is on full display. As the waitress in the Greasy Spoon would say as she plops down your greasy fries and fly infested burger
ENJOY!!
Trump also put sanctions on Russia and supported and signed the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act which made it much easier to put meaningful sanctions on Russia. Rather than the rather worthless ones we had done in the past.Trump repealed sanctions on Russia. Trump tried to block military aid to Ukraine.

Trump opposed covid control measures, as did you.
Gas prices were higher under Bush.
All of the shit you mention? You voted for it.
You are one clueless individualPossible nukes being used, China considering attacking Taiwan because of the chaos. Xi getting cozy with Kim Jung Un and N. Korea firing off missles. Gas at record highs, food costs at record highs, Covid out of control.

Covid is out of control? Covid is finally getting under control.Lolololol @Paradoxical waking up today and realizing covid is out of control, and gas prices are high and nukes being used is a real possibility of saber rattling when you arent a cuck exchanging love letters with dictators.
You don't want the government to pay for them do you?Is Ukraine an "ally"? What war did they help us with?

Putin already announced that he was lowering the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons. I guess we’ll know inside a week or two if it was bluster.
This is officially starting to get scary.
