Wrong, lying propagandist.

Putin’s speech was defensive in nature, not offensive.

Learn to read to learn the difference, genius.

No, Putin’s speech was meant to terrify, he gave it as he was attacking and 3 days later he put his nuclear forces on alert.

Putin gave his nuclear threat on the day he launched an invasion, that is a threat.

As your own lying source describes, the French responded to the threat, and in a passive way, the Frenchman’s response was defensive, reminding Putin that NATO also has nukes.

“Asked whether Putin’s threat of “such consequences that you have never encountered in your history” was tantamount to threatening Russian use nuclear weapons in the Ukraine conflict, Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said it was indeed understood as such.

“Yes, I think that Vladimir Putin must also understand that the Atlantic alliance is a nuclear alliance. That is all I will say about this,” Le Drian said on Thursday on French television TF1.”
