Vladimir Putin has been accused of using 'deeply irresponsible' nuclear rhetoric Though Chief of the Defence Staff Tony Radakin said 'it is a sign of weakness'
Russian president Vladimir Putin has been criticised for 'deeply irresponsible' nuclear rhetoric, as fears grow that he may make a show of force using a nuke over the Black Sea.
Last month Putin said he was ready to use nuclear weapons if necessary to defend Russia's 'territorial integrity' and yesterday Russia said seized Ukrainian lands are under its nuclear protection.
The threatening statements are believed to have increased in frequency due to Putin having 'few options left' after weeks of humiliating losses to Ukraine on the battlefield.
Today, Chief of the Defence Staff Tony Radakin urged the international community to remain united against what he called Russian President Vladimir Putin's 'deeply irresponsible' nuclear rhetoric.
'He (Putin) has few options left. Hence, the nuclear rhetoric,' he said during a speech.
'And while this is worrying and deeply irresponsible, it is a sign of weakness, which is precisely why the international community needs to remain strong and united.'
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace flew to Washington on Tuesday for emergency talks with the Pentagon.
A third of Ukraine was left without power as the new head of Russia's armed forces Sergei Suvorikin, nicknamed 'General Armageddon', launched a series of missile and drone strikes.
Following the attack, Mr Wallace cancelled a meeting with MPs and travelled Washington DC to discuss 'security concerns'.
A security source told The Sun that 'the threat has increased recently'.
Junior defence minister James Heappey told Sky News that Mr Wallace was in Washington 'having the sort of conversations that - beyond belief, really - the fact that we're at a time when these sort of conversations are necessary'.

If one has close to 6000 nukes, one is not weak, but dangerous.
I believe there’s a saying about a cornered animal.
And yet, the only one’s continually spouting nuclear rhetoric on a near every other day basis: The WEST/US/UK/EU/NATO.
Irony.
I know where the desperation really lies....and it ain’t with Putin/Russia.
The “ nuclear rhetoric” is being spun by western media, as planted
Attempted psychological conditioning of the public to prepare them for….what?
Count the nuc doom porn stories ….by unnamed “ experts”
One has to wonder about the state of readiness of those nukes too. It appears that the Russians have subpar maintenance practices.
Was Truman weak during Korean war. Nuke involvement was on the table at one stage
I’d prefer not risk a billion lives on that.
My Dad had a bumper sticker that said “Give Mao 40 Megatons”
They also have an ABM system, unlike the US

Putin nuke’em talk is conditioning the US and NATO to accept serious Iranian involvement (drones and missile shipments) in Mr. Putin’s war. Our attitude will become -—>
“At least Vlad isn’t setting off any nukes”
_______________
Some reports say that Russia has Iranians inside Ukraine. Who are piloting the Iranian drones. Reports are that 10 large Russian transports landed in Iran to pick up all or some of the missiles Russia bought.
I want to see whee Putin has continued the nuke talk. I know Biden has lately.
This article claims he did, but doesn’t let us see the proof.
Their is conflicting info about whether MaCarthur wanted to use them. But they was planning to. The issue was whether the military or Truman had operatiinal control.
Dont’t worry, the staff at the Daily Mail has this war won.
These aren’t idle threats, it is their military doctrine. But the danger to peace is not seeking peaceful negotiations and the continuing escalation by USA/NATO. We’re the ones fighting this war with Russia and her allies. We’re using up Ukraine’s population…for now.
This is already WWIII. We should all be insisting in peace negotiations.
Don't forget the crazy Zelensky, who actually kept DEMANDING (not even merely asking) that Amerca launch nuclear missiles at Russia for Putin even THINKING about nuclear weapons use.
Tucker did a segment on that.
Why is $70 Billion US tax payer dollars being sent to back a mad Nazi like Zelensky?
Next it will be Hezbollah helping Russkies in Ukraine. You know what this is all about. Ukraine is pissed Israel won’t play ball.
Putin is the one who first started talking about using nukes ... not NATO
and NATO has no plans to use one ... so if nukes ever do get used, it will be because RUSSIA set one off first
“Some reports say that Russia has Iranians inside Ukraine. Who are piloting the Iranian drones. Reports are that 10 large Russian transports landed in Iran to pick up all or some of the missiles Russia bought.”
Who the Hell cares other than the hypocritical pro-Ukrainian peeps and the West/US/UK/EU/NATO?!
Not like the US/UK/EU/NATO does not have units on the ground in Ukraine...given some of the missile and drone strikes Russia has been doing over the last few days have targets those assets and their facilities in Kyiv.
But all of a sudden, its one huge issues with or if Iran is allegedly in Ukraine?
Like W T F?
Hypocrite much!!?!
“If one has close to 6000 nukes, one is not weak, but dangerous.”
USSR/Russia has every tank they ever made. Some from WW2 that are being reconditioned to send into Ukraine.
Same here. Russia has every nuke they ever made. The good, the bad, the rusting, the ugly, the non-functional. Figure that 1000-2000/ out of 6000 of Russia’s nukes are usable.
This is a lie. Please show the exact quote.
You are certainly doing your part on the "predictive programming" side.
