KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — In a dramatic escalation of East-West tensions over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian nuclear deterrent forces put on high alert Sunday in response to what he called “aggressive statements” by leading NATO powers. The order means Putin has ordered Russia’s nuclear weapons prepared for increased readiness to launch, raising the threat that the tensions could boil over into a nuclear war. In giving it, the Russian leader also cited hard-hitting financial sanctions imposed by the West against Russia, including Putin himself.

Thanks! (Didn’t see your post before I posted mine.)
It’s hard to top, “I need ammunition, I don’t need a ride.”
Yes.
If we had a lucid President he would be making a statement about this grave turn of events. But we have a demented idiot eating pudding in his basement happy that Ukraine will be taken because their President likes Trump more than Biden.
You never know what the Norwegians are up to. :-)
More news re the possible negotiations:
Ukrainian president says delegations to meet on Belarus border
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has released a statement following his conversation with Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko earlier today.
“We agreed that the Ukrainian delegation would meet with the Russian delegation without preconditions on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border, near the Pripyat River," it read.
“Alexander Lukashenko has taken responsibility for ensuring that all planes, helicopters and missiles stationed on Belarusian territory remain on the ground during the Ukrainian delegation's travel, talks and return.”
Zelensky had earlier said he would not meet a Russian delegation on Belarusian territory because Russia's invasion was launched in part from Belarus.
Neither Russia nor Belarus have issued any statements about potential talks.
“He’s likely to nuke Washington DC and NATO HQ - first.“
That would be quite a gift to the world.
He’s not gonna nuke anybody unless someone tries to attack Russia first.
Please! Somebody in Russia take him out.
Z has been the man of the hour. .
“He’s likely to nuke Washington DC - first.
HE would never take out his best ally.“
Exactly!
If you’re going to use the most extreme measures in a fight, you don’t bother with the weakling.. You knock off those who are the biggest threat to you first.
DC; this current “administration” are among the most responsible for Putin - feeling confident enough to implement this invasion.
They will do nothing and he knows it. Why would you want to take them out??
That’s a Reddit troll joke. A little bit of due diligence goes a long way.
Duck and cover!
Hey, wait a minute!
Biden is walking a German Shepherd! Hitler had German Shepherds. Does that mean Biden is a Nazi?
[The lefties, if Biden was a Republican]
Could be. Time will tell. Besides now that the House Democrats have dumbed down the word, so many things can be a coup. Your moniker -- libh8er -- is nifty.
.
Bingo. There are now only a small group of FR's that are still saying this, but nobody wants to hear.
Putin, with lots of help, is taking down the Deep State Cabal inflicting the entire world for the last century.
Time to hold Putin's beer. (and DJT's)
Or, keep ignoring, the choice is yours.
But, be of good cheer, there will be no all-out nuke war until the LORD decides it is time for the Tribulation period. GOD controls all this. He will not allow the Russians, Chinese or Americans to start a holocaust of millions of dead from a nuke war until HE is ready. But, in the Tribulation, there will be BILLIIONS, not millions, dead in the first 3 and 1/2 years. How can that many people be killed in so short a time? NUKES! That is how. So, there may be military conflict between us and the Russians, but not with a nuke exchange. And I don't think you can fire off just one nuke. Especially if each war head has 10 in each. You would have to hit 10 targets and you would kill millions in the big cities. Besides hitting big military bases, the cities are also targets.
I wouldn’t worry.
Who is he going to nuke - Ukraine?
One doesn’t wipe out a nation that one wants to own.
And he’s not gonna just nuke the USA because he’s having trouble succeeding in the Ukraine.
Our “leaders” are the reason he felt comfortable and confident to invade. He’s not going to take THEM out - and possibly have them replaced by someone stronger.
