"A Kremlin insider warned Thursday that Russia could start a nuclear war if it lost its conventional war in Ukraine.
Dmitry Medvedev, deputy head of Russia’s security council and a close ally of President Vladimir Putin, made the threat in a post on the Telegram messaging app...."

I am just an American who doesn't want the world to be destroyed over two peoples with the very same history that are squabbling. How about you?
For a little background. The same thing happened to my ancestors a little over 150 years ago and my family was on the losing side of the conflict. My Great Grandfather fought at the battle of Peach Tree Creek, July 20, 1864 just under fifteen miles from where I am sitting this moment.
His Regiment was decimated in that battle, 1000 men started the war and 100 men surrendered at the end of the war. I wonder how many Ukrainians would have had the urge or inclination to fight with my Great Grandfather if they had the ability?
Yes, you are right, not one. I wouldn't have blamed them because it had nothing to do with them, just as this little border squabble between Russia and Ukraine has nothing wo do with us. Stop trying to make me agree to shoot myself in the head for your petty feelings.
This was the post using google translate
“Tomorrow, at NATO’s Ramstein base, the great military leaders will discuss new tactics and strategies, as well as the supply of new heavy weapons and strike systems to Ukraine. And this was right after the forum in Davos, where underdeveloped political party-goers repeated like a mantra: “To achieve peace, Russia must lose.”
And it never occurs to any of the poor to draw the following elementary conclusion from this: the loss of a nuclear power in a conventional war can provoke the outbreak of a nuclear war. The nuclear powers did not lose major conflicts on which their fate depends.
But this should be obvious to anyone. Even for a Western politician who has retained at least some traces of intelligence.”
Perhaps read the entire statement instead of one sentence from 2 paragraphs.
It’s at 124.
“Biden and Kishida said that any possible use of nuclear weapons by Russia in Ukraine would be an act of hostility against all of humanity that cannot be justified.
This is such a monstrous shame that I will not even comment on the paranoia about the nuclear plans of our state. Think about it. The head of the Japanese government, in a humiliating, loyal ecstasy, is talking nonsense about Russia, having betrayed the memory of hundreds of thousands of Japanese who were burned in the nuclear fire of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And Kishida absolutely does not care that the only country that fully used nuclear weapons was the United States. And its only victim is his own Motherland. He would have to remind the President of the United States about this and demand repentance, which was never brought for this act of war by the American leadership.
But no, Kishida is just an attendant for the Americans. And servants cannot have courage.
It remains to pity the Japanese. After all, such a shame can be washed away only by committing a seppuku right at a meeting of their Cabinet upon their return. Although the concept of the honor of this generation of Japanese vassals is not typical.”

This was his reference to nukes on Jan 14th prior to what was said in this article. So, it sounds like Biden is talking about Nukes too.
Only if it's in session. Why waste a perfectly good nuke?
Crimea has been part of Russia for hundreds of years. It is home to its Black Sea navy. It is overwhelming Russian speaking. There was a plebiscite in 2014 with approximately 90% of the population voting to return to Russia. There was little to no resistance when Russia annexed it in 2014.
That's a bird of rare plumage...
Then Russia will glow in the dark for 1000 years.
What Pooty needs is an off ramp.He needs to understand that Moscow is about to be leveled if he does not leave Crimea.
So far , the NWO controlled NATO-blastomas are not making the off ramp appear.
The Rus will have to give back Crimea.
Its going to be another 20 year + war, money laundering for the Dem party.
What happens when America cuts the funding as it always does.?
Not to mention Hillary, who likes to gain power by interfering in other nations while weakening the US.
“There was a plebiscite in 2014 with approximately 90% of the population voting to return to Russia.”
Anyone in Crimea who wanted to return to Russia simply had to cross the border into Russia. But they aren’t allowed to bring Crimea with them as if it were a steamer trunk. BTW: The Ukrainian constitution addressed such referenda; and it stated that ALL Ukrainians had the right to vote in such referenda, not just those is the affected area. Russia squawked at that, disregarded it, and invaded.
“There was little to no resistance when Russia annexed it in 2014.”
That is actually irrelevant: It was an invasion of another sovereign and independent country.
Oh that would be great. BTW I think in the Man in the High Castle DC does get nuked (by the Germans).
Spot on.
I’m not Russian, you silly little girl. No one takes you seriously.
Your childish insults are extremely humorous. Thanks for the laugh.
Why would they nuke their own people?
No brag, just fact.
We’re showing our age. :)
