Russian President Vladimir Putin makes another threat to the West about the possibility of nuclear war.
During his annual address to the country’s parliament on Thursday, Putin, accused the West of having their main focus on weakening Russia.
He stated if the West continues to support he has a nuclear arsenal “that can hit targets on their territory.”
“(Western nations) must realize that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory,” Putin said. “All this really threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons and the destruction of civilization. Don’t they get that?!”
Additionally, the Russian president is in all likelihood set to be re-elected to another six-year term during the upcoming March 15-17 presidential election.
The grave warning comes after French President Emmanuel Macron proposed the idea to European NATO members of sending ground troops to Ukraine, which was rejected by the United States, Britain and Germany, among other nations.
“Strategic nuclear forces are in a state of full readiness,” Putin said, noting that new-generation hypersonic nuclear weapons he first spoke about in 2018 had either been deployed or were at a stage where development and testing were being completed.
The comments made by Putin come just a day after the president of the European Commission suggested that Russia’s assets should be frozen to help support Ukraine.
The Russian leader also suggested Western politicians should think about the fate of leaders such as Nazi Germany’s Adolf Hitler and France’s Napoleon Bonaparte who invaded Russia during their time as well.
“But now the consequences will be far more tragic,” said Putin. “They think it (war) is a cartoon.”
Furthermore, Putin denied reports from U.S. intelligence that claimed Russia was developing a nuclear space-based weapon designed to target American satellites.

The Russians have had a long history of tyrants: tsars, czars, Bolsheviks. Do you remember the shoe pounding Kruschev? Yet, the Russian people have produced great ballet, music, and literature. It is the indomitable human spirit, created in the image of God, unable to be quenched by evil. Everyone should read the great classic- One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisowich by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. This great Russian Christian writer came to our country decades ago, seeking solace& refuge from persecution. He left, after a while, dismayed at what he saw. I can only imagine what he would think at the present day world situation, were he still alive. He also wrote The Gulag Archipelago. Also possibly wrote Cancer Ward. Christians, & others were sent to hospitals for mind bending drugs, to correct their thinking. They were declared insane.
God help us. We’ve been warned…
Wow, Darline. That’s scary stuff
Andropov became a director in the KGB, and ordered the use of psychiatric hospitals for political dissidents. It was similar to what certain Nazi doctors did. He was in charge during the 1960’s, but similar activity had occurred during the Stalin era.
It seems poison has also been a common occurrence. One can add plane crashes, as well.
Both Solzhenitsyn & Jewish Sakharov were under KGB surveillance.
Sis – you are so knowledgeable!!
Both men were heroes, both won The Nobel Prize when it meant something. Both suffered greatly. Sakharov- Jewish nuclear physicist; Solzhenitsyn, Orthodox Christian. Sakharov was drugged& force fed in the
“ hospital “. Solzhenitsyn went to prison, was exiled. They need to be remembered. History forgotten is history repeated.
They are not teaching, they are indoctrinating, these days.
I agree with your every word, sis!!
Methinks that the Russian peoples are better off under a thug than we ourselves are under a senile crook.
I’d have to think on that for a bit………
With the exception of a handful of Eastern European & South American countries, most of the world has hand picked WEF
“ leaders”, as well as some important US states. So either way, they’re under their sway. Some are breaking ranks, lately- notably the Dutch.
I wouldn’t want to choose between Biden or Putin. 👎to both.
I agree!!!
