‘High Alert’ — Vladimir Putin Warns of Nuclear Deterrent Readiness as Ukraine Tensions Rise
Breitbart ^ | Feburary 27, 2022 | Simon Kent

President Vladimir Putin on Sunday ordered his military’s nuclear deterrent forces to be on alert as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine met increasing resistance as it enters its fourth day.

Putin told defense chiefs “high alert” status is imperative as the West was accused by Moscow of taking “unfriendly” steps against his country.

NBC News reports the move was in direct 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.

A clear indication that things are not going as well as Putin expected.

Think those bastards in DC will alert us if Russian birds are inbound? I don’t. They’ll be too busy trying to protect their own fat asses.

Panic porn. Not to minimize Russia’s aggression as some weirdos around here have done (FFS, it IS an invasion), Russia is still chiefly sticking to military targets, minimizing civilian casualties; she is an aggressor in an ugly, unprovoked war, but she has not yet gone terrorist or “total warfare.”

Nor has Putin unleashed the air force.

That seems strange.

The U.S. should make a joint agreement with Israel, India and other nuclear nations that a nuclear strike by Russia will result in all other nations striking Russia.

“I’m beginning to suspect Putin is off his meds”

Ever think that is exactly what he wants you to believe!!

Putin is playing 10D chess against a decrepit old fool — AND WINNING BIG TIME. Same for NATO just not quite as bad.

Like when we went to Defcon 2 in the Gulf War or Defcon 3 after 9/11? It is common for countries to raise their defense readiness during times of war.

Propaganda being what it is, if Putin is as crazy as they have made him out to be, a humiliating defeat and challenge to his authority could be a very dangerous thing. I can’t imagine Putin cares for the people of Russia any more than he cares for the citizens of any other nation.

I have noticed that as well. His armor columns aren’t receiving adequate air cover. Strange war.
