Putin says he’s ready to use nuclear weapons if Russian state at stake

Moscow is ready to use nuclear weapons if there is a threat to the existence of the Russian state but “there has never been such a need,” President Vladimir Putin said in an interview with state media published Wednesday.
The Russian leader made the comments to Rossiya 1 and RIA Novosti ahead of presidential elections on March 15, in which he is widely expected to sail through to a fifth term in office, and as his full-scale war in Ukraine grinds into a third year.
Putin said that from a military and technical standpoint, Russia is ready for a nuclear war, though he didn’t say one was imminent.
He warned that if US troops were deployed to Ukraine, Russia would treat them as interventionists.
“Apart from (US President Joe) Biden, there are enough other experts in the sphere of Russian-American relations and strategic restraint. So I don’t think that everything is going to go head-on here, but we are ready for it,” Putin said.
Putin said the United States is also developing nuclear forces but that doesn’t mean they are ready to “launch a nuclear war tomorrow.”

And I would expect any country to do whatever it takes if there very existence is threatened, including nuclear weapons.
Taking that position says nothing about your like or dislike for Putin.

Highly doubt Putin actually believes this.

HELL! I hope we would, too!

It makes sense to me. He has sworn to protect the mMother Land just like our leaders. Maybe he takes his oath seriously.

That’s been the publicly stated position of every nation with nuclear weapons since 1945.

A nation having nukes is like a homeowner having guns. You don’t want to use them, but if someone comes through your front door guns blazing you’ll sure be willing to use them

Putin’s too big of a pussy to use nukes. Y’all are pussies for glazing him
Posted on 3/13/24 at 12:39 pm to WPBTiger
This is fear mongering. Of course he would use nukes if his country was facing an existential threat. Every leader would use every option available under these circumstances.

Saber rattling. Any of us would use our nukes if it was last resorts. He also knows the consequences if he does
