I wouldn't put it past Putin to do such a thing. But even Prigozhin wonders if any of Russia's nuclear weapons still work?

“nuclear weapons “

No matter where , no matter who ...it's not a good thing when we start hearing these words spoken.

As to weather any of the weapons work .....

I would rather not know ......

Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin is a Russian oligarch, mercenary chief, and a close confidant of Russian president Vladimir Putin. Prigozhin is sometimes called “Putin’s chef”, due to owning restaurants and catering companies that provide services for the Kremlin.

Let ‘em nuke themselves.

It’s not our problem.

He's not the only one wondering. I've said many times I have my doubts Russia's nuclear weapons still function properly. Looking at the state of Russia's military, aging hardware, etc.. I can't imagine their nukes are in any better shape.

If we're lucky they'll blow up trying to launch and not make it out of their silo's or blow up shortly after launch due to fuel leaks/whatever.

Anyone here have any informed thoughts on just how tolerant nuclear weapons are of neglect and skipped maintenance? Or the chances Russia skimped on this post Soviet breakup due to corruption?

This is stupid - written by the same people who said Putin blew up his own pipeline?

NATO wants WWIII and a nuke would be their initial move.

The head of the Wagner mercenary group admitted that he is “afraid” Vladimir Putin may deploy nuclear weapons in a Russian border region that has been repeatedly raided by pro-Ukrainian rebels.

Does Putin owe these guys money or something? I don't know much about mercenaries, but I'd always imagined they would refrain from constant public criticism of their employers. Every time I read about Wagner, their head is criticizing Putin or the Russian army.
