Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has warned that Russia was increasingly trigger happy about using its nuclear weapons.

Mr Fallon spoke out as Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande arrived in Moscow for crunch talks on the crisis in Ukraine.

The Defence Secretary said Britain must update its nuclear arsenal in response to Russia’s war-mongering.

******** Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, he said the Kremlin’s military planners may have “lowered the threshold” for the use of nuclear weapons. ********

His comments came as David Cameron was slammed for failing to be at the table for the talks between the German Chancellor, French President and Vladimir Putin.

Hey, stop “trolling.” You are disagreeing with Russian propaganda and the shills who use a manure-spreader to spread it. What about John McCain?

Don’t bother...
With the Anselukie types, if you don’t jump with whatever Today’s Current Truth(tm) happens to be, you’re a “Moskal”.

That whole Nuland-thing is the biggest piece of concocted BS in this whole story. She’s a friggin’ diplomat who told her boss who she thought should win an election in a foreign country. In other words, she was doing her job. And it gave our resident Bolsheviks the vapors. lol at the stupid

I support America, never Obama and McCain. I do not support the EU. And i do not believe it is the patriotic duty of all Americans to support the western Ukrainian coup in Kiev.

Nothing there for us. Period. Wave the flag all you want. I’m not a patriot of the coup.

Today’s current truth is the same as it always is, do not support the Russian war on our NATO borders and recreating them as empire and a threat to the civilized world’s existence, as they were just 25 years ago.

Go visit one of the amazing cold war museums. Touch the old planes. Walk the Berlin Wall route. Watch some old movies. We all miss the cold war, but you can get through this ok.

It’s like people are determined to start a war. Or at least to do exactly what the Russians predicted all along. Surround every inch of them right up to their borders. And then always keep them in jeopardy. Lots of money to be made there.

Russia already started the war. Hence Crimea and its soldiers in East Ukraine, and the mass propaganda goobers like you believe in.

they almost used nukes in Afghanistan.

.......and in mid 90s in the outside of Grozny and on the border regions of Daegestan. They had 203mm tactical nukes and bombs flown from storage and stored at Engles Air base and outside of Rostov in case the battlefield commanders got their wish. Luckily they didn't.

LOL, your goal is to have Russia take Ukraine to move their Army right up to NATO borders ant the countries that we liberated, and you think that is patriotic, well it is, in russia, then you proceed to mock us American veterans and our service defending this nation against such Russian militarism and aggression, and conquest.

Cute, I want to prevent another Cold war that we might lose, and you keep mocking the Cold war and our losses of well over a 100 thousand men and our struggles to survive the Russian empire and it’s evils.

Russia gobbling-up small countries, and commies telling us that we’re starting it. Nothing’s changed at all.

You're a retard still calling Ukrainians "Nazis" even after an election that saw a sweep of no-Nazis. Meanwhile, the Russkies are accusing the Ukrainian government of being "controlled by Jews".

Donetsk (Ukraine) (AFP) - Ukraine's pro-Russian rebel chief on Monday branded the country's leaders "miserable" Jews in an apparent anti-Semitic jibe. Alexander Zakharchenko, leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, claimed that Kiev's pro-Western leaders were "miserable representatives of the great Jewish people"."

http://news.yahoo.com/ukraine-run-miserable-jews-rebel-chief-202600090.html

This isn't that weird because the "vacationers" Russia sends into Ukraine are a mix between Stalinists and Neo-Nazis. They don't even hide it, but you're too stupid to think about what that might mean.

You're an idiot who keeps calling Ukrainians Nazis just because your mail order bride happened to have been manufactured Russian. I think that's the real cause of your dementia. It got old after the 10 millionth time you've done it on this forum though, and, quite frankly, you're a despicable and pathetic human being whom I'm sick of seeing dirty up perfectly good threads with your love for Putin.
