Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Thursday that any weapons in Moscow's arsenal, including strategic nuclear weapons, could be used to defend territories annexed to Russia from Ukraine. Medvedev, who also serves as deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, said that referendums planned by Russian-installed and separatist authorities in large swathes of Ukrainian territory will take place, and "there is no going back".

"Therefore, various retired idiots with generals' stripes do not need to scare us with talk about a NATO strike on Crimea," Medvedev wrote on Telegram. "Hypersonic [missiles] are guaranteed to be able to reach targets in Europe and the United States much faster."

"The Western establishment and all citizens of NATO countries in general need to understand that Russia has chosen its own path," he added.

One way or another, I suspect Ukraine will become something of a wasteland.

It probably will be laid waste but it's hard not to see the threat of nukes as a bluff or Russian tantrum. They're being embarrassed with how slow progress is.

Nothing I've seen from Russia has made mention of the tactical nukes use in Ukraine. It's always been stated their use is to defend Russia from a threat or an attack. Everyone seems to take this as their use in Ukraine (because that is where the fighting is).

This Special Military Operation has never been solely about Ukraine, it's been about disabling NATO by showing its weakness in a conflict and a threat to the United States. If you go back and look at the comments on nukes, there is always a mention of the West and what they have done. The West is America. Those nuke threats are against America, not Ukraine.

Then add in the combined threats from China against America. China is Russia's buddy currently. So you now have number 2 and 3 world powers focused against number 1 (America) and against our military expansion toward their borders and converting areas of them against them (Dismantling USSR, Taiwan, Korea etc...).

We are witnessing the dismantling of the country locally and the threat growing against us globally. This are at the point America removes itself from Bible Prophecy.

I expect a couple tac- nukes to fly. It seems apparent a fanatical regime is in control of the USSR. That means they are nuts enough to use them.

Once the sham election is done, occupied Ukraine becomes USSR, and de-facto defendable with nukes.

However, as stated by may leaders, nobody wins. And unless Moscow and the current leadership is immediately convinced its a no win situation,
we will likely cower under whoever threatens this world until some fearless king is willing to lose a few cities to bring peace.

And know China will be watching very carefully. If Putin gets away with it, China will not hesitate to move.

Some might be thinking: Gort, klaatu barada nikto.

I'm looking Heavenward. Beam us up Lord when You are ready.

Sham voting is underway in occupied Ukraine.

Survivors overwhelming voted for tyranny... regardless what the polls say.

Nothing has such a dedicated constituency as the Makarov 9 by 18 party.

This is indeed sad.

Praying for wisdom for leaders, for the fear of God to return, and the Russian people to have courage and stand up for their country.

Praying the leaders who have been coerced to beat up their own citizens, see the evil and are disgusted with their own conduct, and finally take action.

Makes me think of the USA... lots of similarities. I wonder if Russia uses dominion voting machines.

I wonder how proud Obama must be for
whispering to Medvedev “I can be more
flexible after the election” to which Medvedev
replied, “I’ll tell Vlad.”

I was having a great day until I read that name! Yuck.

Nope they don't have to even go that far, just poison the opposition and feed the Russian propaganda machine and oh wow another Putin miracle re-election

 

[TheRedeemed]

I am beginning to think he’s mad enough to go M.A.D!

This guy will need to be taken out before he takes everyone else in the world out. Surely there will be some bunch of guys there in Moscow who will be desperate to eliminate him?

The trouble with mad deranged despots is that they’re also very savvy and use every trick in the book to survive. Anyone brave enough to try would need to make sure they can do so in one go and finish him off once and for all, or else he will kill and eliminate everyone else in his close team, lest anyone else fancies a go.

How many countries in this world “fix” elections????? Probably 99% unless God intervenes. Even without “technology“ it’s not who votes, but who COUNTS the votes. Nothing new “under the sun”. We need the SON!!!!!
