Why is this breaking news? Any nuclear country will use nukes if faced with an existential threat. Duh.

If only we had stopped selling oil to Japan. Togo would had to have called off his invasion of China.

Existential threat? Like open borders? Great Reset? Sodomites grooming our children?

Why is this even considered news-worthy?

It is simple logic...

Hopefully, some day, once again the U.S. will have a leader with the same sense of national survival...

Faced with an existential threat, today, the communist leadership that rules America would make 1940s France look like a war-mongering hard-ass...

Existential threat to what, the regime or the country? I’m guessing Vlad means the former.

An existential threat like massive and insidious voter fraud?

You know who IS facing an existential threat?
Belarusian leaders

NATO just parked a massive army 3 miles from their border.
If Belarus joins Russia and sends their military in Ukraine, they will be defenseless in the face of NATO troops.

The Soros Renaissance Fdn, CIA, US State Dept, DNC/RNC, WEF cabal has orchestrated regime change in Russia because Russia insists the cabal will not enslave Russia in their one-world government.

I suspect Russia will nuke us, if we continue down the one-world government path with them and who could blame them. They will fail to stop it and Russia and the USA will be horribly impacted…of course Russia will be far worse off, but that won’t matter. We won’t even retaliate. We’ll get others to do it for us, because we are that weak now.

Existential is a word tossed around a lot these days.

Nukes are to defend against actions that are a clear and imminent threat to the continued existence of a people and its country.

Putin has ZERO moral authority to use nukes because he ‘feels’ there exists an existential threat. Especially a threat that would not result in the annihilation of Russia, its people and existence... but would only interfere with his agenda. That’s not good enough to justify nukes just because someone else spoils your plans! There has to exist a clear imminent danger that threatens the continuation or existence of the Russian state and its people.

Dmitry Peskov peddles fear, not reality.

I wish no country had any nukes. But they do. If you have them, they alone are a deterrant. That said, there would be no reason to have them if you rule out using them. I don’t believe America ever rules out using them. They wouldn’t be a deterrant I we did.

I can’t understand why this question is always asked because the same answer will come from any country asked.

I predicted this back in January when he started moving equipment to the border. If we get involved, Russia will nuke us.

Putin’s Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov says Russia would use nuclear weapons if faced with “existential” threat
***So then it’s okay if the Ukes use Nukes on the Rukes in their “existential” war. After all, we did.

This is well-known Russian/USSR nuke doctrine.

Basically it is based on the concept that a world without a strong Russia is a world not worth having.

I would like to know the likelihood or ability of Russia’s nuke corps to follow through with an attack directive.
