>>>>Putin has been threatening to use nuclear weapons since 2022. He’s bluffing.<<<<
Are you saying that with absolute certainty?
Yes. Of course.
Putin said recently in an interview our MSM is distorting as a threat, that he wants to avoid nuclear war, and the current events do not meet the threshold for such weapons. He’s content that the war is going well and doesn’t expect to use nukes.
This was broadcast in the US as ‘oh oh...Putin just said he will use nukes...”
In reality, he reminded the West that he WOULD use them if they cross the line. He has gotten the reputation for bluffing so he pointed out he doesn’t WANT nuclear war, and there hasn’t been a reason to use nukes thus far. He affirmed that nukes are not on the table right now. The war is going well for Russia, he acknowledged it is slower than some want, but feels a speedier rate would cost more Russian lives and he’s content to prosecute the war at a lesser speed.
It’s creepy how the west is lying about his meaning, fanning this into existential threat in order to justify whatever it is they are planning to do next.
