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.

I really like what you were trying to do there.
Fly, meet flypaper!
“You’re going to like it even more soon.”
Oh? So you’re going to post some more parodies of music?
You know, the ones that match your bandana.
“Hey meggie, did you ever find those 3XXX underpants you were looking for at Walmart?”
No, seems you got to them first. By the way, brown is not your color. You also need a better bra.

Meggie, proving once again that zeepers suck at humor. Could it be because English isn’t their first language?
Have you noticed that a comment to meggie or mommy about their physical appearance always guarantees a speedy response? Psycho/narcissists are like that. Yes, they are.
Noticed that.
They also are usually quick to excuse or hand wave away Azov.
Yes, the “I know you are, but what am I?” response seems to be the extent of their “humor.”
And the video coupled with the lyrics on Cosmic Order’s remake of David Bowie’s “I’m Afraid of Americans” was not a difficult message to discern. However, it went whooshing right over zeeper heads.
You do an awful lot of projection in your posts.
“Psycho/narcissists are like that.”
Yes, and it’s not hard to notice that you DEMAND attention. Thus you are compelled to send your every post to a lengthy ping list intending to impress them all with your latest dubious achievement in composition.
This is called what?
Narcissism.
Pot, meet kettle.
Exactly. Rush used to say, “They don’t know that they’re the entertainment.” That makes ‘em even more amusing.

Yep, I always head to the zeeper threads first because every one of their posts is a scream.
One of them forgot which handle is known for “Someone tell [whoever zeeper hates at moment] that..”
You're soooooo sensitive.
My post was obviously right on target. I like that.
I know what your response to me is going to be: "Name calling is against FReeper rules" but a few days ago, you called us "pricks" and none of us ran to the mods. Your post is still there serving as a reminder to FReepers as to what a foul mouthed hypocrite you are.
She’s off her meds again and boozing!
She posted this morsel the other day! 😂😅 🐻
“I hunt and I gut deer and elk. The one bear that came after me? I gutted him too. Tanned his hide and sold him as a rug.”
Old Maggienator sure is one tough B*tch! ( in her own mind). 😂🐻
Now what are you going on about?
No ping list needed.
Your delusional, entertaining posts pop up everywhere for all to see.
You're right. Zeepers RUN from any association with Nazis. They can't let the facts get out.
Zeepers, for your viewing pleasure...
She’s currently pretending on another thread that nobody can see previous posts in the same thread.
How many Russians has your hubby killed today meggie?
