Putin is inching towards his nukes, threatening to annihilate the world if he fails to capture Ukraine, says foreign affairs expert
Yahoo News ^

Posted on 05/01/2022 9:45:23 AM PDT by libh8er

This ominous warning came not from some deranged psychopath – like the ones who regularly demand Kyiv to be nuked on Russian state TV. These were the words of the top diplomat of the Russian Federation.

In diplomatic parlance, Lavrov essentially admitted that their vaunted offensive in Donbas is stalling, the war is lost, and Russia has nothing to counter Western weapons pouring in Ukraine. Politically and militarily, Russia is backed into a corner.

Since Putin can’t accept defeat, the Kremlin is indicating that nuclear weapons are on the table as its last resort in this war.

…. On the unity of Russian and Ukrainian peoples,” written by Putin last summer. In that text, the dictator made a plain commitment to destroying Ukraine as a political entity if it refuses to forego its sovereignty and get absorbed by Russia.

After launching its mad, irrational, and barbaric invasion of Ukraine, Russia has revealed that it’s no longer a credible, rational actor in the international arena. World leaders realize that Russian nuclear threats are best taken seriously, because the failure to do so would be prohibitively expensive. After all, the continued existence of human civilization is at stake. One person is currently openly threatening to destroy our civilization if his ludicrous demands are not met. This is nuclear terrorism on a grand scale – it’s not just some major city like New York that’s at stake, it’s all of humanity.

So either humanity dies or Putin does.

Not a tuff decision, huh?

Fear porn at best. Likely that the launch components for those missiles were sold on Ebay already. Kind of like their “ablative armor” for their tanks that turned out to be filled with cardboard. Kleptocracies...a barrel full of laughs, just not so much for the people who’s lives depend on them.

Call their bluff. You can never, ever give in to criminal thugs. If you do the demands will never stop. That is why most countries have a policy of not negotiating with terrorists.

Not the time to challenge him to do it unless we want him to.

He’s going to have to survive his upcoming cancer surgery first.......I’d be very worried if I were him. I think he’s pissed off a lot of his fellow countrymen with this needless war.

Putin may be crazy but he is not stupid. He will not expose his own people to radiation poisoning and risk annihilating them all with the rest of humanity.

However the nut jobs in Iran are another story.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-26/russia-warns-of-real-nuclear-war-risk-as-ukraine-talks-go-on

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned there’s a “serious” risk of nuclear war over Ukraine in a statement the U.S. blasted as the “height of irresponsibility.”

“The danger is serious, real. It can’t be underestimated,” Lavrov said in a state TV interview broadcast late Monday. Invoking the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, when the U.S. and the Soviet Union came close to nuclear war, he said that Moscow and Washington had understood the rules of conduct between the superpowers but “now there are few rules left.”

More gaslighting from the fakestream globalist press, but the Ukraine virtue-signaling posers lap it up like inbred puppy dogs.

Nice propaganda. The source is actually “The New Voice of Ukraine”

And there are no actual quotes by anybody, except for this, supposedly from the Chinese Foreign Ministry:

“No one wants WWIII. All sides must show restraint around the Ukrainian crisis and avoid escalating the conflict.”

This “article” is an op/ed piece.

And Biden and his idiots are broadcasting what they’re doing, ie sending all kinds of weapons, training, money.

You have other countries ganging up.

AND NO ONE IS PUSHING FOR DIPLOMACY...?

I’m sorry, but this is not going to end good.
