VLADIMIR PUTIN'S threat to deploy nuclear weapons against Ukraine and the West has been swiftly debunked by an expert, who suggested that Moscow and St Petersburg would be "wiped out within 90 seconds" if he launched nukes.
This comes as Putin repeatedly uses the threat of nuclear war to warn the West and NATO against intervening in Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
M r Wright pointed to Russia's arsenal which includes over 2,000 nuclear warheads, adding the surprise success of the Ukraine military has "inflamed" the Russian leader.
Mr Fox responded: "Nuclear blackmail is a very, very difficult game and I think the Russian generals know that.
Anyone sensible in Putin's military knows that because there are no winners there.
"Were he to use it, god help us. But St Petersburg and Moscow would be wiped out within 90 seconds!"

Ukraine has absolutely no security interest to the US- much like Libya, Bosnia, Iraq and Iran.
You have been sucked in.
I’m sure his wife is shocked to hear this
Another chest thumper getting out there and yelling..”Hey here I am!” “I think I know something!” “Listen to Me! Me! Me! Me!”
Sickening bunch of c-suckers.
Looks like it’s time for our alien friends to hover their spaceships over all the nuke bases and shut them down.
What? They’ve done it before!
Try and explain that to these people.
They see a threat from NATO, and they will use them.
They are now operating on perception. If Russia perceives a threat...
Here we go again. That lie gets posted here regularly by the Putin propaganda club.
This is what the UN report you are citing says:
"OHCHR estimates the total number of conflict-related casualties in Ukraine from 14 April 2014 to 31 December 2021 to be 51,000–54,000: 14,200-14,400 killed (at least 3,404 civilians, estimated 4,400 Ukrainian forces, and estimated 6,500 members of armed groups), and 37-39,000 injured (7,000–9,000 civilians, 13,800–14,200 Ukrainian forces and 15,800-16,200 members of armed groups).
The approximately 14,000 people includes 4,400 Ukrainian military, 6500 LPR, DNR, and Russian military, and about 3400 civilians on both sides.
Your statement is intentionally misleading and false. About 1700 civilians on the separatist side of the boundary have been killed. The other half of the civilians were killed by the separatists and their Russian sponsors.
Why do you keep posting utterly false Russian propaganda?
“Why should a nuke be used in Ukraine?”
I didn’t say it should.
I said that’s what I WOULD do if I were the Russian leadership.
I’m not. Nor would they have me.
But I think battlefield nukes are near certain.
This war would never have happened if Trump was President.
Be sure to thank your Democrat friends.
I suspect that if Russia’s “tactical” nukes have been “maintained” as well as Russia’s tanks, then Russia’s launch crews will “nuke” themselves when they try to “launch”.
Ooops!
And I suspect that most members of Putin’s “inner circle” do NOT want Russia to lose a missile exchange (and Moscow, St. Petersburg, Putin’s Black sea dacha etc. etc) because America has missile defense weapons that actually work.
If Putin doesn’t survive his upcoming surgery, I won’t be surprised. Or sorry.
I sure as hell hope not!
One of the most important tasks in nuclear war gaming…
…is to make sure you leave people alive and connected on the other side…
…who have the authority and ability to STOP AND CANCEL LAUNCHES.
It is really dumb for conservatives to have any support for Putin. If liberals supported Putin, the conservatives would excoriate them, as they should.
Might be liberal but it’s true. What at least 30 percent here support Putin? Libs would be stupid not to exploit that
I actually think Donbas is for all purposes a done deal. Then the entire South needs secured and a new siege of Kiev laid. A militia needs to be organized in liberated areas akin to DNR and the rest of action mostly outsourced to it. That’s enough gains for this year, the rest is up to Ze.
Yup. Always make sure your nuclear enemy keeps the ability to STOP AND CANCEL LAUNCHES.
Zelensky is gay?
“It might be good idea to dial down the big talk.”
Getting sick of hearing from all these A-holes that have nuclear bunkers with 10 years supplies threatening nuke attacks. ...It’s almost as if they don’t appreciate their fellow man.
I don’t see any tactical requirements.
And if it was Trump supporting ukraine, there woukd be near 100% support here for Ukraine. But no moat peoples convictions are of convenience.
Obama was an aberration. There is ZERO chance the US just absorbs any nuclear hits.
