Russian nuclear talk is 100% bluff.
It isn’t worth two rubles.
But the Russians are very upset over US/EU weapons shipments to Ukraine.
Anybody who would fall for the age-old Soviet/Russian nuclear bluff when cornered or desperate has not been around for the last 60 years as seen repeatedly deployed both by both the USSR and the post Soviet follow-on ( exact same mentality and MO)… They’ll be just as naïve and panicking over some statement about Pyongyang threatening to level Seoul or Tokyo, when we hear that kind of crap talk probably something over 7000 times over the last 50 years.
Just since February 2022 (Russian invasion), the number of threats made by Putin, Lavrov, and Peskov started. Unique threats (not Lavrov quoting Putin for example) and ones that specifically mentioned nuclear weapons and ones that originated with these three people, by around May as lone, totaled over 160. People wetting their pants and falling for this are such abject useless propaganda tools of the KGB/FSB. Lol
The threat was, if Russian territory was invaded, when it comes to that, they are stone cold serious. They don’t have the manpower of the Soviet Union anymore, so yes, nukes.
Wouldn’t we use nukes if a coalition of dozens of nations invaded us openly?
I believe Putin is the best friend of the Democratic Party and leftists in Europe.
Biden and the Democrats are intentionally throwing this election to Trump. They knew all their efforts to stop Trump were dead ends, but they needed to put on the show that they oppose him.
One mantra you hear against Trump is how many companies he has led into bankruptcy. I know the FACTS of the situation, but that is not relevant to the media/left.
Trump gets elected and takes office. Soon after, BRICS nations dethrone the US dollar as the world reserve currency. Trump is unable to stop them as Biden has so poisoned this nation’s reputation by using the dollar to punish anyone who does not support Biden’s policies.
The dollar collapses. We are a bankrupt nation, thanks to Donald Trump.
The left sweeps in to restructure the US, similar to what happened to the USSR.....except the US loses its constitution and a new “social contract” is written. All citizens can participate online (but we know they have no say).
The same happens in Europe.
The West is reorganized into a single economic union dedicated to “fairnesss” and “equality”.....basically socialism.
Putin goes down in history as the man who helped create the reality of global socialism, just as the USSR envisioned.
This was not about the threat of Russia using nuclear weapons. It was about the US’s motivation and willingness to use nukes.
