ESCALATION: Russia Begins Tactical Nuclear Weapons Drill Near Ukraine’s Border ‘To Counter Militant Statements by Western Officials’ (VIDEO)

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.

“That issue isn’t whether or not there was direct combat between US and Russian forces during the Cold War”

Actually it is exactly that issue. You are of the mistaken or uninformed belief that the US and Russia never exchanged shots during the Cold War so my remark about my husband MUST be untrue.

If you are going to hold to that belief then no explanation on my part will ever satisfy you. It’s akin to arguing with a Flat Earther that the world is a sphere.

“First off, it is you, and not me, who described me as a ‘mediocre musician.’ “

At the time I wrote that comment I did not know that you were the mediocre musician in question. That said, you ain’t no Mozart so I don’t know what you’re complaining about. Your You Tube videos did get a couple clicks from me. You’re welcome.

Also, what gives with your profile on a Russian talent site? Do you do a lot of work in Russia?

I've got to get around to gifting her a Youcrayno the Clown™ award.

I can’t think of a more appropriate recipient of that award at this time.

Hey, remember how you said you don’t want me to write to you? And how I’ve respected this?

That means you don’t get to write about me without response.

Buzz off, psycho. When you display your psychotic behavior all over this forum, I’ll do what I please.

You don’t “get to” tell me what I “get to” do.

Are you going to post “nyah, nyah, nyah” again like you did once before? Are you going to make threats about FBI visits in your twisted and futile little desire to control people, meganlomaniac?

Buzz off, psycho troll.

Man, you and your RevMommy in the same house must be sociopath central. . .

That being said, your ridiculous statement "My husband fought the Russians and he killed some of them too." has made you a shoe-in for a well overdue Youcrayno the Clown™ award.

Your hilarious howler will be forever considered comedy gold on Free Republic and everything you say from here on out will always be framed by it. Congratulations!

By the way, when will you remove that racist, genocidal prompt "Ruzzians aren't people" from your tagline? It's utterly vile.

Shall I have it removed for you? . . .

MeganC has no knowledge of history, or she pretends not to know that plenty of Russians are Jews, as are Ukrainians, and all were hunted down and murdered by both Nazis Germans and Ukraine's SS units in WWII.

Her insane hatred of Russians, her wishing them death, her shrieking and screeching in ecstasy every time someone posts an account or video of Russians being maimed and killed points towards something like this: At some point in her life, I theorize that a Russian man she adored unceremoniously dumped her and ran like hell.

If so, boy did he dodge a bullet. Lucky man!

Bwahahahaha!

ROFL!! It's that, or he wouldn't share his stash of vodka with her.

Here’s one of your songs. Proudly titled:

“I’m Afraid Of Americans”

Yes, that's my guitar player's remake of David Bowie's "I'm Afraid Of Americans" which I sang and played drums and bass on. The video features many of your fellow leftist/globalist/Scumocrat/RINO/WEF Zelenskyyyy™ supporters, so I'm pretty sure you watched it over and over again. Hope you enjoyed it!

Now, here's one of your "creations" : "My husband fought the Russians and he killed some of them too."

https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4237446/posts?page=27#27

I have a few questions about that creation: Did your husband, (if you even have one), fight Russians and kill some too as you have stated? If so, how did he confirm that the men he supposedly fought and killed actually were Russian? Did he fight and kill them on the ground, or in the air, as you've implied he did by furiously posting articles implying that? If he did fight and kill them in the air, how did he confirm that the pilots he fought and killed were Russians? Did he swoop down after combat and land next to the wreckage of his vanquished enemy, then hop out, drag the body of the dead pilot out of the wreckage and confirm he was Russian?

Or, more likely, did you make the whole thing up?

Rocco, about the only way MeganC's husband ever fought and killed Russians, is in "Call of Duty" or other warfare video game. He's a real tiger with the controller and joy stick. 🎮🕹️

I think we might be reading her comment the wrong way. Given that Megan comes to the forum and fights with us everyday, maybe hubby was someone who fought with RuZZians over their wallets and jewelry? I understand mugging is a lucrative living for some living in the Ukranian. Without additional information, I’m not going to assume he was a combat vet like she is attempting to present.

"Which Starbucks are you headlining tonight?"

Who's your shrink? I'll bet he's feeling mighty dirty and suicidal after a session with you.

BTW, you recently said, "My husband fought the Russians and he killed some of them too."

https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4237446/posts?page=27#27"

How many did he fight and kill? Where did he fight and kill them? Did he fight them in the ground, or on the sea? Or did he fight and kill them while flying his Piper Cub against French Russians during the Spanish Civil War in Greenland?
