Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that Russia was being threatened by German tanks, like during World War Two, speaking at an event in Volgograd, formerly Stalingrad, marking the Soviet victory over Nazi forces in the city.
'It's unbelievable but true. We are again being threatened by German Leopard tanks,' Putin said, adding that Russia had an 'answer' to any country that threatened it.
Putin appeared to have brought his 'nuclear football' to Volgograd.
Aides were seen close to the dictator carrying two black bags.
Observers believed one was a fold-up shield to protect Putin in the event of shooting, while the other is likely to contain Russia's nuclear key.
A security officer carrying the 'nuclear bag' has been seen previously close to Putin during the war with Ukraine.
Russian officials and propagandists have threatened the West with nuclear strikes over their military support for Ukraine.

He is not my Putin. I have not always supported him.
He has an 80% approval from Russians. He is not a duma member I like much. That would be Lavrov.
I spend time on Russian forums and he is loved.
Amazing how Putin has served as a distraction for the absolute crap we have for leadership.
Never mind our white house is filled with stinking
piles. Lets go bash Putin.
I believe the msm has done a terrific job with many freepers.
At one time, Putin said Solzhenitsyn’s GULAG ARCHIPELAGO must be read. Putin attended Solzhenitsyn’s funeral. But today things are very different. Russian social media calls Solzhenitsyn a liar and his books are withdrawn from curriculums. In this way Putin’s Soviet era nostalgia is reestablishing Soviet censorship.
Oh and thanks but nyquist is a joke.
I have been to Russia. Many times.
Yes we have
I was speaking of the Russian army. Russia has no more right to occupy these areas because there is a ethnic Russian minority living there than Mexico has of occupying the U.S. southwest because of the Mexican minority living there. The rights of these Russians does not trump those of the Ukrainian majority.
Forget it.
Trying to explain anything to these people is outside of the range of their understanding.
They are screaming “Dark clouds are gathering” and when it starts to pour they will scream “Holy shit its raining!”
Nixon explained in detail what would happen if we did not accept Russia as a friend and helped them after the fall of the USSR. That interview was in 93 or 94.
lol you got that right.
Two days ago Tucker had on a guest (Dore) who said among other things:
“America is the world’s terrorist” and
” If there is a marine anywhere in the world he is there to steal that country’s re sources.”
Tucker thanked him sincerely.
For the 1st time in my life I wrote Fox News to tell them that I do not watch their station to hear such things said with approval.
Richard Nixon was brilliant he is one of my heroes and I know a very much about him.
He also put our forces on nuclear alert around the world when Russia threatened to get involved in defense of Egypt.
Our nato troops were packing up and getting ready to be air lifted to the Middle East.
He also bombed the North Vietnamese into submission while he withdrew 500000 American troops from South Vietnam.
Yes he predicted we should nourish the democratic forces inside of Russia. That effort failed. We have to deal with Putin now and Nixon would not have been weak in the face of a Putin.
Biden and the Cartels have opened the country to millions of young men of military age. Not many of them are here to 'pick the grapes' either...
I am familiar with the multipolar world, and it isn't a bad idea. The Founding Fathers never intended the United States to be a world power, much less a world hegemon. Rome, Spain, Britain, and other nations have had their rise and fall, and America appears headed to the same fate as the others.
Good for them. We just built a base in Morocco I believe, and returned troops to Somalia - Trump had pulled them to come home.
China is preparing to install a naval base in Argentina.
Mexico is rearing up against us in a big way and congress just put up a bill to allow US troops to enter Mexico, for the drug war,. of course. Unless something else comes up.
Sit tight. If we survive the nuclear war coming, and I am not planning on it, the new world is gonna be a lot different under China or India as the next empire.
One thing it won't be is forever wars, as Trump called them.
A student in your class in HS wants to force everyone else to dress exactly as he does.What are your feelings about that student? That student is us. And responsible for the long line of countries applying to join brics.
I read a few months ago a post from an African...who said..."When the US visits they admonish us and tell us what we are doing wrong. When China visits, they build a hospital."
We had a chance to be nice in the world but we blew it and became bullies and thieves. Trump was our only chance to regain a sane foreign policy.

The world tires of us. Most of them prefer Russia/China and friends. All we have are Australia, growing ever more proRussian, UK, and those postage stamp brats in the baltics.
I live here and now I have to endure the blowback. We could have had Trump. Instead we have a raving lunatic who is taking us into mindblowing debt and ignoring everything American. But go ahead and bash Putin for not being Orthodox enough for you. As if you know anything about being Orthodox.
“I am aware that Catholic and Orthodox spirituality differs from that of Protestantism.”
Orthodox for 20 years. Nope. There is almost nothing similar to western faiths like RC and Protestantism.
From the outside looking in, You would never imagine how different an eastern faith is from the western churches.
‘we have friends on America continent’
We call them democrats.
Let’s hope it’s Russia. I could kick back and drink some vodka. China may be a little too stringent.
There is a statue to Lenin in Seattle.
You sound just like the liberals destroying statues in the south.
Google is your friend.
Turns out there are Lenin statues all over the world.

What makes so many freepers jump to conclusions? Like the egg thing. They immunized hens to covid and harvested the antibodies from the eggs they produced. And tested it against covid. And amazing /s. They worked against covid in in vitro testing.
This discovery is now the reason for our egg shortage.
Like that Journey song. Keep on Believing. In your case this is the mass killer Putin. Sent Russian boys to their deaths for nothing. But his megalomania.
So snap out of it.
Absolutely incorrect.
Absolutely incorrect.

Sounds like you are calling Trump a democrat.
And Biden a conservative?????
Wow. So confused.
Nope.
