Once again, Russian President Vladimir Putin is seemingly rattling the nuclear saber. But why now?
The Kremlin, citing recent comments by Western leaders regarding the war in Ukraine, said Monday that it would soon carry out simulated use of battlefield, or tactical, nuclear weapons — marking the first time Moscow announced such an exercise.
The announcement drew a sharp response. U.S. Defense Department spokesman Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder called it “entirely inappropriate.” NATO spokesperson Farah Dakhlallah termed Moscow’s plans “dangerous and irresponsible,” and the European Union called on Russia to “stop the escalation.”
Like so many pronouncements from Moscow, this one’s timing might matter as much as its substance.

Any constiturion banning elections AT ANY TIME is illegitimate. Freedom is at all times. “Martial law” is a fascist concept. No government has the right to exist except under a state of liberty. This would include Ukraine AND Russia and for that matter all Western nations. All governments suck, ours included.
Liberty is the law, the mandate and the only legitimate state. As for Ukraine…give them liberty or give them death. They clearly havent chosen liberty.
Are you that sick in the head?
I am only loyal to God and my country. That is why I don't want my tax dollars given to a tin-pot dictator for a Neocon manufactured proxy war.
Are you loyal to the Ukraine? We all know the answer to that question.
The fact still stands that we didn't want the Soviets to have nuclear weapons in Cuba, just as Russia now doesn't want our military on their Russian border. Tit-for-tat is the only thing that makes sense.
“ I am only loyal to God and my country. ”
Which God?
What country?
This question you won’t answer is my guess.
Such a wonderful thing you did for reminding me of my:
Scout Oath: On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
I suppose you are worth a little bit of something after all.
Why do you support Putin so much?
And don’t respond with cookbook “ why do you support Zelensky so much.”
I don’t. I oppose Putin for attacking Ukraine, committing mass murder.
If Ukraine had attacked Russia I would oppose Ukraine and their leader.
Brother, you need to pray and repent and in the secular realm support the US Constitution, not one man rule in Russia and the forces trying to destroy our Union under the constitution, foreign (e.g. Putin) and domestic, Brandon Squad et al.
Here is Joe Biden bragging to the Council on Foreign Relations that he forced Ukraine to fire their State Prosecutor who was investigating the Burisma corruption.The Bidens’ Influence Peddling Timeline
5) Ukraine: Devon Archer joined the Burisma board of directors in spring of 2014 and was joined by Hunter Biden shortly thereafter. Hunter Biden joined the company as counsel, but after a meeting with Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky in Lake Como, Italy, was elevated to the board of directors in the spring of 2014. Both Biden and Archer were each paid $1 million per year for their positions on the board of directors. In December 2015, after a Burisma board of directors meeting, Zlochevsky and Hunter Biden “called D.C.” in the wake of mounting pressures the company was facing. Zlochevsky was later charged with bribing Ukrainian officials with $6 million in an attempt to delay or drop the investigation into his company. The total amount from Ukraine to the Biden family and their associates is $6.5 million.
6) Russia: On February 14, 2014, a Russian oligarch and Russia’s richest woman, Yelena Baturina, wired a Rosemont Seneca entity $3.5 million. On March 11, 2014, the wire was split up: $750,000 was transferred to Devon Archer, and the remainder was sent to Rosemont Seneca Bohai, a company Devon Archer and Hunter Biden split equally. In spring of 2014, Yelena Baturina joined Hunter Biden and Devon Archer to share a meal with then-Vice President Biden at a restaurant in Washington, D.C. The total amount from Russia to the Biden family and their associates is $3.5 million.
Former Vice President Joe Biden on Ukraine
I have to admit that I am much more against Ukraine right now because of all the Biden corruption that has been ongoing with them for at least a decade.
As Hunter said, "10% for the big guy."
I appreciate you saying this, so I’m telling you you sound like you do.
Maybe rethink how you communicate on it.
There are ALot of Russian and Chicom trolls about and people are not automatically going to give you the benefit of the doubt because of that.
And PS, why would you think I, or anyone here, is not aware of Biden’s bragging about shutting down the Ukraine investigation?
Or for that matter what it has to do with Putin committing mass murder?
Biden is corrupt and not a legitimate president.
This does not mean Putin is anything of value, other than as fertilizer.
“ I have to admit that I am much more against Ukraine right now because of all the Biden corruption that has been ongoing with them for at least a decade.”
This is callous to the lives of the Ukrainian people who are the victims and just live their lives. The corruption you talk about is endemic in Russia and Ukraine both and involves people and forces the vast majority of Russians and Ukrainians have nothing to do with.
Putin is the king of this corruption. He’s the richest man on Earth.
Talk about our Senators getting rich off being politicians. They are pikers compared to Putin.
And he is the one who started this unnecessary war which is mass murder of Ukrainians.
That’s the bottom line.

It was straight from Congress.
You don’t need to.
Like I said, I know it well and I’m sure most here do also.
Mass murder of Ukrainians is not payback for abject Biden corruption and does nothing to punish Biden. It in fact empowers his illegitimate presidency.
It’s an irrational connection.
I think you are a liar. I think you accuse anyone that doesn't agree with you of being a troll. It is projection on your part.
I am against our United States attempting to risk a nuclear exchange by propping up a tin-pot dictator in a proxy war we started just for the lucre to be gained.
What is irrational is the fact that you condone continuing the mass murder of Ukrainians, we have caused, just to cover up Biden’s corruption, and thus empowering his illegitimate presidency.
This whole Ukrainian fiasco is your “Look, squirrel!”
“ What is irrational is the fact that you condone continuing the mass murder of Ukrainians.”
You’ve gone off the deep end.
You sounded rational for a bit.
It’s good you accurately characterize Putin’s attack on Ukraine to be the mass murder it is.
“ I think you are a liar. I think you accuse anyone that doesn’t agree with you of being a troll. It is projection on your part.”
It’s hard to imagine anyone but a troll or otherwise compromised person would support Putin.
When you said you didn’t I told you I appreciated your statement and told you my thoughts.
