The Kremlin today bluntly threatened use of nuclear weapons in the wake of the Ukrainian drone strike on Moscow's skyscraper zone.
Three drones struck an elite office building and residential skyscraper in Moscow early Sunday morning in what Russia's Defence Ministry has branded an 'attempted terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime'.
Dmitry Medvedev, a former Russian president and Putin ally, has warned there is 'simply no other way out' and said that Kyiv should 'pray to our warriors' that they do not 'allow the global nuclear fire to flare up'.
Moscow said it had brought down three Ukrainian drones early on Sunday that had been trying to attack the capital. It also claimed its forces had thwarted a Ukrainian attempt to attack Russia-annexed Crimea with 25 drones overnight.
Crimea, annexed by Russia in 2014, has been targeted by Kyiv throughout Moscow's Ukraine offensive but has come under more intense, increased attacks in recent weeks. Kyiv has repeatedly said it plans to take Crimea back.
The suspected Ukrainian attack inflicted the kind of terror on Moscow that Vladimir Putin's armed forces have imposed on Kyiv and other Ukrainians cities during the war.
Medvedev on Sunday - Russia's Navy Day - slammed the Ukrainian offensive, warning: 'Our Armed Forces, repelling the counteroffensive of the collective enemy, protect the citizens of Russia and our land.
'This is obvious to all decent people. But beyond that, they prevent world conflict.
'After all, if we imagine that the offensive of the [Ukrainians] with the support of NATO was successful, and they seized part of our land, then we would have to, by virtue of the rules of the decree of the President of Russia dated 06/02/2020, go for the use of nuclear weapons.
'There is simply no other way out.

Speaking of praying....why do I get the feeling that the deep state and biden is just praying that nukes will be used also.
I saw a little of that on dailymailuk and it did tear up a building it looks embarrassing but oh well
I get the feeling that laughter at this will continue until one day…
A nuclear exchange is no worse than climate change
Is that “redrum” from The Shining in a different movie?
Who the Hell does Putin think he is, Joe Biden??
Just get rid of Putin and problem solved, right? Jeez...
I watched Dr Strangelove last night. It seems like the characters in it are just as reasonable as in reality.
Medvedev ominously warned that the Kremlin would have “no other option” but to ignite “a global nuclear fire” if Ukraine’s counteroffensive on Russian soil is successful.Another Tricky Nuclear Threat Day
The Zeepers may have a different outlook if God forbid, someday they, their children and grandchildren are about to be incinerated. It’s all fun and games until someone lets a nuke out. Of course this post will bring them out, claiming I am a fool for being needlessly concerned.
We should have let Ukraine keep their nukes.

None of them have skin in the game, and none seem concerned for the US.
Thousands of Ukraine thread posts, and only a handful of other topic posts.
I’ve never seen it. You recommend it?
SciFi?
Doesn’t sound like someone who’s winning...
We have THAAD in Romania and Turkey.
Yep. Try and find an America-centered post by UMCRevMom. Unfortunately, the mods here on FR seem to be oddly sympathetic to her. Many posts challenging her ( totally within FR guidelines) are removed. Some of her posts are very ugly, celebrating Russian deaths, but they remain.

Most think that seasons two through five are the best, although I enjoyed season one. They were told the series would be canceled at the end of year four, so they hurriedly wrapped up the story line by the end of year four only to then be told there would be a season five. It’s why season five seems a bit pointless to the overall plot. I think the very last episode of season five was actually shot in season four if that makes any sense. It completes the story.
Anyway, give it a look.
