President Vladimir Putin warned the West on Wednesday that although Russia was technically ready for nuclear war there was no need unless Russia faced an existential threat. He also stated if the U.S. sent troops to Ukraine, it would be considered a significant escalation of the conflict.
Leading up to the upcoming March 15-17 election, where President Putin is anticipated to secure another six-year term in office, he emphasized that there is currently no imminent threat of nuclear war and expressed his stance against the necessity of deploying nuclear weapons in the context of the situation in Ukraine.
“From a military-technical point of view, we are, of course, ready,” Putin, 71, told Rossiya-1 television and news agency RIA in response to a question about whether the country was ready for a nuclear war.
Russian President Vladimir Putin made a statement indicating that the United States had a clear understanding of the potential consequences if it were to deploy American troops on Russian soil or in Ukraine.
He emphasized that Russia would interpret such actions as an intervention, signaling a serious stance on respecting its territorial sovereignty and political autonomy.
“(In the U.S.) there are enough specialists in the field of Russian-American relations and in the field of strategic restraint,” said Putin.
“Therefore, I don’t think that here everything is rushing to it (nuclear confrontation), but we are ready for this.”
The media’s coverage of Putin’s so-called “nuclear warning” conveniently coincided with another proposal for discussions on Ukraine, supposedly marking a new era in post-Cold War European security.
The U.S., in its typical high-handed manner under Biden, claims that Putin is not prepared for meaningful dialogue over Ukraine. However, it seems to conveniently forget that it is the U.S. and the E.U., who have been consistently dismissing Moscow’s attempts to initiate conversations with Ukraine.
Putin restated the conditions for the deployment of nuclear weapons as outlined in the Kremlin’s nuclear doctrine. This doctrine specifies that nuclear weapons would be used in response to an attack involving nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction. Additionally, they could also be employed if conventional weaponry is used against Russia in a manner that threatens the very survival of the nation.
“Weapons exist in order to use them,” Putin said. “We have our own principles.”
Meanwhile, in the cultural hub called Wokeville, CNN, a prominent media outlet, reported on what it considered a significant development on Saturday. The report highlighted the administration under the leadership of U. S. President Joe Biden expressing specific concerns in the year 2022 regarding the possibility of Russia deploying a tactical or battlefield nuclear weapon within Ukraine’s borders.
In response to these escalating tensions, Putin, the President of Russia, stated that he had never felt compelled to resort to using nuclear weapons within Ukrainian territory. This exchange underscores the lack of being able to negotiate the delicate geopolitical landscape by the Biden regime and heightened tensions surrounding this evolving situation.
TALKS?
Putin stated that Russia is prepared for serious discussions regarding Ukraine.
“Russia is ready for negotiations on Ukraine, but they should be based on reality – and not on cravings after the use of psychotropic drugs,” Putin said.
