Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his troops to hold a large-scale exercise of the Kremlin’s nuclear forces on Tuesday, including practice missile launches, as tensions boil over the Ukraine war.

Putin oversaw the drills in a video call with military leaders, as Russian soldiers simulated a nuclear attack using ballistic and cruise missiles.

“Taking into account growing geopolitical tensions and emerging new threats and risks, it’s important for us to have modern strategic forces that are always ready for combat,” the Russian president said.

Despite the show of force, Putin claimed his nation’s nuclear arsenal would only be deployed under an “extremely exceptional measure,” claiming Russia is not interested in starting a “new arms race.”

Tuesday’s drill was the second such exercise this month, with an Oct. 18 event in the Tver region involving the use of Yars intercontinental ballistic missiles, which are capable of hitting the US.

Putin said Moscow would continue these drills and modernize its nuclear forces to ensure Russia is capable of firing newer, more precise missiles capable of overcoming other countries’ defense systems.

Sounds like Putin is calling the election for Harris.

Didn’t he do one last week?

Did the one he did in the summer not go well?

Repeated drills stress the system…even in Mother Russia.

Nukes are no good unless people think you’re crazy enough to use them.

I miss hardspunned’s explanations on these topics…

Well, the nuclear capable rocket they tried to launch went boom at the padsite and destroyed everything around it, IIRC.

Putin is preparing for war, war being pushed on it by Europe and NATO. It is part of a vast evil plot to rob the U.S. blind and leave us poor and broken. Forces are working to defeat that evil plan. Shocking revelations of well known people and veiled events may be in the offing. You can already hear the guilty screaming about it hoping to curtail it.

Nothing can stop what is coming! NCSWIC❗
