Starmer says Britain won't be deterred by 'irresponsible' nuclear rhetoric from Russia

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Tuesday he would not be deterred from supporting Ukraine by "irresponsible" Russian rhetoric, after Russian President Vladimir Putin lowered the threshold for a nuclear strike. "There's irresponsible rhetoric coming from Russia, and that is not going to deter our support for Ukraine," he told reporters at the G20 summit in Brazil. Putin's new nuclear doctrine lowers the threshold under which Russia might use atomic weapons to include responding to attacks that threaten its territorial integrity.

The move comes as Ukraine used U.S. ATACMS missiles to strike Russian territory on Tuesday, taking advantage of newly granted permission from the outgoing Biden administration on the war's 1,000th day. Addressing that milestone in the conflict, Starmer said that Putin was the "author of his own exile" as he did not attend the G20 leaders' summit for the third year in a row. "I say again (to Putin): end the war, get out of Ukraine," Starmer said.

“Two-Tier” Keir Starmer, aka “The Most Boring Man In Politics”.

The dipstick was mouthing off to Xi at the G-20.

[BobL]

He’ll be deterred, once Russia ‘spanks’ him.

That clown doesn’t seem to understand that Russia,China,North Korea and Iran have recently become very good friends indeed. That’s obviously because of the appalling weakness of his good pal,Joseph R Biden.

[Who is John Galt?]

What would the USA do if Russia placed nuclear-capable missiles on the border with Mexico and launched them at military targets inside the USA?

You can’t tell whether a nuclear-capable missile contains conventional ordnance or a nuke as it is speeding at Mach 5 toward Fort Bliss.

USA and Russia policy is to consider such an attack to be nuclear and respond in kind.

Just placing the missiles on the border is grounds for launching a nuclear assault, according to both country’s policies.

It was a warning not nuclear rhetoric.

What would the USA do if Russia placed nuclear-capable missiles on the border with Mexico and launched them at military targets inside the USA?

You can't say that for two reasons:

1. That's my line/response. Been doing it for quite a while, and nobody ever seems to have a good reply -- cause it's true.

2. It'll drive some of the FR crazies bananas. Don't wanna do that, now, do we.

But isn't it so true? It don't have to be the Mexican border; it could be, let's say, Cuba. Oh, Cuba—didn't that happen once before?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That's my line/response.

I got it from Alex Jones.

Russia, China, North Korea and Iran have recently become very good friends indeed

Yes, the New Axis of Evil

Every one of them a threat to World Peace ... Pres. Trump will have his hands full dealing with all these malicious snakes

[icclearly]

I've got an idea.

Why don't Putin just shoot a nuke into that ocean just outside the territorial waters of the former great British Empire (very former), and now hanger-on country, the UK.

That'll send a double shock wave over to Starmer.

How about that you, Mr. Starmer?

[DoughtyOne]

Starmer is nutz.

[Metrobank]

Prime Minister Starmer won’t be Prime Minister long if they don’t solve their Muslim invader problem. Same goes for Ireland.

Is Starmer competing for Upper Class Twit of the Year?

Wrong. It was the Biden regime/neocon aggression toward Russia and Kamala Harris teasing NATO membership for Ukraine that provoked the present war.

The war was one the regime, specifically the Neocon Queen of Death Victoria Nuland desperately wanted.

[Pontiac]

Don’t forget France and Germany

[citizen]

Nobody wants the nukes deployed. But if it happens, Putin can drop the first one on Starmer’s head...the same Starmer who’s been shooting off his mouth urging long-range missle escalation.

[HYPOCRACY]

When did Keith Olbermann become UK PM?

[canuck_conservative]

that provoked the present war

LOL more of your weasel words

Here's the truth ... PUTIN started this war by illegally invading a sovereign country, without provocation, on Feb. 24, 2022

You seem to have trouble remembering that simple fact

[Darksheare]

He’s a fool.
