The world is getting more and more dangerous by the day.
With NATO, the EU and Russia entangled in an European conflict that keeps escalating, it is very bad news that nuclear weapons are now the talk of the day.
The Russian Federation forces have begun the ‘first stage’ of exercises to simulate preparation for the launch of tactical nuclear weapons.
Ordered by recently reelected President Vladimir Putin, the exercises are reportedly linked to what Moscow calls ‘militant statements’ by Western officials that ‘create security threats for Russia’.
Reuters reported:
“Nuclear analysts say the exercises are designed as a warning signal by Putin to deter the West from wading more deeply into the war in Ukraine. Western countries have provided weapons and intelligence to Kyiv but have refrained from sending troops.”
The Russian Defense Ministry said this first stage of the drill involves Iskander and Kinzhal missiles.
“It is aimed at ensuring that units and equipment are ready for ‘the combat use of non-strategic nuclear weapons to respond and unconditionally ensure the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Russian state in response to provocative statements and threats of individual Western officials against the Russian Federation’, the ministry said.”
The exercises are led by the Southern Military District, which lies adjacent to Ukraine and newly annexed territories.
The situation has escalated so much that Reuters feels it has to try and guess the results of such an attack – which unfortunately is not unthinkable anymore.
“In theory the use of such a weapon could deliver a stunning shock to the West without necessarily triggering a full-blown nuclear war, though the risk of triggering a cycle of escalation would be huge.”
Russia is reported to have about 1,558 non-strategic nuclear warheads.
Watch: Video released by the ministry showed missiles being transported in a convoy of military vehicles and placed in position ready for firing.

>>>>She’s currently pretending on another thread that nobody can see previous posts in the same thread.<<<<
What thread is that?
Tell me about your gold records.
FReepmail.
Rocco has asked the question about 20 times, now. It's very simple straightforward question. Why not answer it, so we can move on. I can think of several options:
Anyway, help out here, MC, so we can move on.
Thanks!
Rocco is a jerk. I’ll at least give you credit for being more polite about it.
Still, I have learned a lesson about sharing personal information on here.
It’s like the FR terms of use need to have a Miranda warning: “Anything you say can and will be used against you by trolls, jerkwads, and mediocre musicians.”
You folks say what you want and believe what yiu want, this is my last response to this nonsense.
At least that's my impression. So, it's not surprising there were Ukrainians fighting with Wagner, or even in the Russian Army a while ago.
There was a process: a breakdown of civility.
It takes time to build hatred like this.
She’s out of her freakin’ mind.
Can you imagine being alone with this psycho?
>>>>So the C in MeganC stands for Crockett?<<<<
Or perhaps Cruntkett?
Meggie, like all zeepers, loves to shoot her big, stupid mouth off. But when you call her on it, she slithers back under her rock.
<<<<My mistake was mentioning that.
Since I did you monkeys have used it over and over in an effort to torment me, intimidate me, silence me, or just for pure sadism as is the case with one of your cohort.
There is not even a chance in Hell that I’d give you bastards any more information than that because you’ll absolutely use it against me.<<<<
There you go with the cursing and and name calling again, meggie. Your nasty post has been up for hours because rather than run to the mods and have it removed as you frequently do, FReepers want it to remain visible so the entire site can see what a irrational, evil hypocrite you are.
>>>>Two days ago she wrote that we were “obsessed with sexual perversions.” Like her mentor UMCRevMom, she took my use of TV (television) in my comment, and twisted it like the obsessive maniac she is, and claimed it stood for Trannies. I never hit the abuse button. She must have to soak her finger every night in order to get it back in working order for the next day.<<<<
Yes, I saw that exchange between you and meggie. Who in their right mind looks at the word “TV” and interprets it to mean “transvestite”? Someone with a filthy, twisted mind, that’s who.
She’s either out of her mind or hits the bottle more than mommy....maybe both.
>>>>You must have expected it, so I’m of the belief that you like the attention you’re getting over it.<<<<
You’re exactly right, mass: meggie lives for attention. Positive, negative...any kind...she sucks it up like her globohomo hero, Zelensky, sucks up American bucks.
I can see them both sitting behind their computer screens, yucking it up on video chat, a liquor bottle in front of each of them, and taking a sip every time one of them hits the abuse button. They probably hold contests to see who can take more sips before crawling off to bed.
You’re the sadist I mentioned.

You’re so cute and clever meggie. You stick your foot in your own mouth and blame us for your blunder.
Knowing you, this won’t be your last response. You like the attention too much to stop and you love pulling the victim card.
PS...More name calling? What a flaming hypocrite you are.
>>>>You’re the sadist I mentioned.<<<<
Do I cause you pain meggie?
I picture meggie with a box of cheap wine and cats crawling all over the place.
And the place smells like cat piss.
