Putin evacuates 60,000 people before Battle of Kherson
Vladimir Putin declared martial law in occupied Ukraine, handing him sweeping new powers over civilians Comes after officials ordered evacuation from occupied Kherson, as Ukraine's forces push to re-take city
If Putin's army is forced to flee the city, it would be the most humiliating defeat it has yet suffered in Ukraine Fears are growing that Putin may be plotting a nuclear show of force over the Black Sea to save his invasion
Experts believe Putin may detonate a nuke at a remote testing ground or above the Black Sea to prove that Russia's huge but ageing stockpile of warheads still works.
Speculation has been growing that Putin could be preparing some kind of nuclear show of force, potentially including the first open-air detonation of an atomic weapon since the 1960s, which ramped up after UK defence secretary Ben Wallace was summoned to last-minute talks at the Pentagon yesterday.
Vladimir Putin has declared martial law in the occupied regions of Ukraine as officials begin evacuating civilians from the city of Kherson, with a battle for control of the stronghold now looming.
Putin said the order will come into effect from midnight tonight in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions - giving him sweeping powers to curtail the freedoms of civilians, repurpose industries and potentially press-gang Ukrainians into his army to fight against their fellow countrymen.
The order also affects occupied Crimea and Krasnodar, Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh, Kursk, and Rostov, all of which are on Russia's own territory bordering Ukraine, though stops short of full martial law in these areas.
Putin made the announcement shortly after Sergei Surovikin, Russia's new commander, said the situation in Kherson is 'tense'.

“So, you believe every “expert” anonymously cited in the Daily Mail?”
Don’t read this literally. Everyone can see that Nuke use is in the air. No need to see this in the UK Daily Mail. All due to crazed Tsar Putin. He started this particular fire.
Anything posted from the UK Daily Mail is propaganda.
But it’s relatively easy to control unarmed people as you can guarantee the civilians in the occupied region are.
I saw the writing on the wall when Biden was selected. Cashed everything out and invested in Brazil. They still have Bolsonaro in office and conservatives have a majority bloc in the parliament. Even if the corrupt “commie” wins the corporations are still in charge. I’m also in Thailand investment. Our diversity is our strength.
>> “If a nuke goes off over the Black Sea I will immediately assume it was done by the US or NATO. It would make no sense at all for Russia to do so. This unsourced article is the lowest form of propaganda targeting the dullest of half-wits.” <<
“Sweden’s prime minister refuses to share pipeline probe results with Russia”
[Cleverly phrased. Sweden refuses to share probe results with ANYBODY. If the evidence pointed to Russia, there would have been massively publicized press conferences.]

Were you embarrassed to write such drivel? ^^
Not really.
Most “wealth” in the stock market is inflated paper.
“The Daily Mail is delusional. Putin would gain nothing by setting off a nuke”
If so, then Putin hopes to gain by just mentioning nukes. Not only Putin, but his Kremlin stooges like Dmitry Medvediv, and his ultra stooge media, as seen on Russian TV.
Russians have a long chorus line of Putin hacks dancing to this nuke’em tune.
It’s called “Predictive Programming.”
The West is bombarded daily via the Mockingbird Media with “experts” saying that Putin is threatening to launch nukes. (He never did.)
So if a nuke goes off as a false flag, the West will be mentally primed to believe it HAD to be crazy Putin.
Why would Putin contaminate seafood and shipping lanes, along with letting fallout flow eastward into Russia? I do not see this escalation as being likely. It’s possible, but it hurts Russia as much, or more.
Maybe Russia sets off one in the Arctic, but, again, what is gained? He could just as well use chemical weapons, and those have a much more isolated effect.
Pot, kettle, black.
Brandon said the Armageddon is to be unleashed.
Take it to the bank.
The imbecile says the silent part out loud. That is why he was admonished by Pres Macaroon of France.
Hilarious, reading Putin's address to the 2021 WEF in which he starts with Dear Klaus:
“Mr. Schwab, dear Klaus, Colleagues,
I have been to Davos many times, attending the events organized by Mr. Schwab, even back in the 1990s. Klaus just recalled that we met in 1992. Indeed, during my time in St Petersburg, I visited this important forum many times. I would like to thank you for this opportunity today to convey my point of view to the expert community that gathers at this world-renowned platform thanks to the efforts of Mr. Schwab.
First of all, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to greet all the World Economic Forum participants.
It is gratifying that this year, despite the pandemic, despite all the restrictions, the forum is still continuing its work. Although it is limited to online participation, the forum is taking place anyway, providing an opportunity for participants to exchange their assessments and forecasts during an open and free discussion, partially compensating for the increasing lack of in-person meetings between leaders of states, representatives of international business and the public in recent months. All this is very important now when we have so many difficult questions to answer.
The current forum is the first one in the beginning of the third decade of the 21st century and, naturally, the majority of its topics are devoted to the profound changes that are taking place in the world...

Yep, even a blind man (and not Democrat) could see Biden would trash everything. I notice the Defense stocks are rallying, I guess it will be a long war, NOC up 7% and GD up 4% and RTX up 5.5% and Lockheed Martin up 8.7% just this morning.
What a dumb thing to say. They certainly are throwing around “nukes” with reckless abandoned now. They want to get some youtube react videos.
“Were you embarrassed to write such drivel? ^^”
You live here. Your worst idea is to ever bet on Russia and Russian tyrants. Same as you, I despise WEF/Globalism and vaxxxes. But with you, it has disarranged your mind.
