Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a speech on Thursday that Russia’s nuclear arsenal is in “full combat alert,” a warning that comes after French President Emmanuel Macron said the idea of NATO deploying troops to Ukraine was not ruled out.
“The strategic nuclear forces are on full combat alert, and the ability to use them is assured,” Putin told Russia’s Federal Assembly, which includes both chambers of the Russian parliament.
Later in the speech, Putin specifically addressed the talk of NATO sending troops to Ukraine. “They are selecting targets to strike on our territory and contemplating the most efficient means of destruction,” he said, likely referring to US and NATO intelligence support for Ukraine.
“Now they have started talking about the possibility of deploying NATO military contingents to Ukraine,” Putin said. “But we remember what happened to those who sent their contingents to the territory of our country once before. Today, any potential aggressors will face far graver consequences. They must grasp that we also have weapons – yes, they know this, as I have just said – capable of striking targets on their territory.”
Putin said the West was “spooking the world with the threat of a conflict involving nuclear weapons, which potentially means the end of civilization – don’t they realize this?”
Macron’s comments about Western troops in Ukraine drew attention to the fact that there are already a small number of NATO special operations forces in the country, which was revealed by the Discord leaks last year. According to a leaked Pentagon document from March 2023, there were 97 NATO special operations soldiers, including 14 Americans, in Ukraine at the time.
A European official told Financial Times this week that “everyone knows there are Western special forces in Ukraine — they’ve just not acknowledged it officially.” In response to Macron’s comments, NATO and some of its members said there were no plans to send combat troops to Ukraine to take on Russia directly.
“Nuclear arsenal is on full combat alert” – if you want peace, prepare yourself for the war. There are no other way to discourage NATO from attacking Russia.
A lot of these Billionaires have sold their stock and have hoarded cash. Maybe they know something is in the pipeline after all.
Oh really, Bezos, Musk, and the likes have sold their stocks? Can you mention one?
Or are just pulling sh!t out of your butt as usual?
I think he means Russian billionaires. (Rats off a sinking ship!)
Well, if there is a nuclear war, the ‘rats’ will be jumping off from every ship on the planet. Or are you counting on all 6000+ of Russia’s nukes being duds?
No. I expect NATO to interdict the attempt.
https://www.wired.com/story/russia-ukraine-nuclear-attack-surveillance/
All 6000+ of them? Sure. Just like the fools here who think Russia could stop all of the US nukes. If there is a nuclear war, we are all dead.
We would be but neither you nor I are going to make the next batch of decisions, are we?
So, NATO “interdicting” wouldn’t have done the job?
I think they’d be able to interdict but if they couldn’t, then…
Less than 20 would probably do it. Communication satellites would go down. Cellphones would not work, making for pretty wild times for citizens trying to communicate with family members, particularly if plans for a gathering place are not in place. Who plans for a nuclear war? We have some survival foods in case of flooding where we are, or other disasters. Won’t last forever. If the pandemic taught us anything, is that people can become quite savage when it comes to needing stuff from grocery stores. The store near us had limited purchase on certain products. I saw families come into the store near us, split up, with their own carts, shop, purchase the stuff at different cashier stations. Costco was inundated with folks getting TP, food. Line went around the store where we shop. A war, with hits on this country would put us back into the neanderthal stage. This country has not had a war the size of the two World Wars, on our soil. Sorry for my rambling.
If there is a nuclear war, it’ll be because your dumbass midget leader fired first.
Remember that.
Your leader.
Yeah, most likely.
There are rats here too.
Yes. I know.
You come to mind.
I know you are lonely and crave attention. And someday, someone will forgive you.

Those billionaires who are visiting synagogues they are informed better than others.
The biggest Russian cheerleader in the blog has spoken.
And it works both ways. If that nutjob in Russia goes to far, well look out.
So far only NATO missiles operated by NATO militaries are hitting Russian territory and killing Russian civilians, not other way around. Russian pipeline in Baltic also was destroyed by NATO. They did a lot of nasty things, so Russia has right to hit the territory of NATO countries.
And Russian missiles are definitely not killing Ukrainian civilians nor the Iranian and North Korean delivered weapons.
Hypocrite.
If you weren’t so utterly morally incompetent, you’d realize that every civilian inadvertently killed by Russia in its just war against the lawless psychopaths running the illegitimate junta in Ukraine, is the exclusive moral responsibility of the Satanic U.S. “government” and its pathetic Ukrainian proxies.
First Russia missiles fired at cities are not “inadvertent” and second Putin is the aggressor in this war.
First, on the contrary, Russia did not start this war; rather, the Satanic U.S. “government” and its Ukrainian agents started this war in Feb. 2014. Therefore the moral responsibility for the death of anyone killed in this war by any side under any circumstances rests completely with the aggressors, which are of course the U.S. “government” and the illegitimate junta in Kiev. Second, there is no evidence of Russia deliberately targeting civilians. You’re wrong about everything you said; accept it.
Russia didn’t start this war? 🤣
And Russia never invaded nor annexed Ukrainian lands.
Delusional dipsh!t.
Morally incompetents are you and your inept Russian Army that doesn’t know how to fight and win wars.
” NATO militaries ” are not firing missiles at Russia. And no one knows who blew up the pipeline. And Russia will not hit NATO countries because that will start WW3.
I hope those Russian soldiers aren’t smoking on duty.
You know, they tend to blow themselves up.
Full alert? The EU & NATO are so scared right now because
West Nukes are not on full combat alert. Lol
Little Kremlin Stewie is not bluffing this time, I swear.
I cannot unhear “Little Kremlin Stewie”. Bravo!
Lol. Use it at will, man.
Retarded European and American politicians forgot that Russia has tactical nuclear weapons, nuclear armed submarines, and ICBMs.
Europe is a preschool masquerading as a pretend union.
America is an insane asylum masquerading as a decaying empire.
Well said, brother!
Those “retarded European and American politicians” seem to be operating on the assumption is that Putin is sane.
Is that an unworkable assumption?
The world would be a better place if barbaric western nations had intelligent leadership with the capabilities of Russia.
Who can think of even one US or European leader with rhe calm and clear thought processes of the Russian talent pool?
The US operates on borrowed money and kills innocents around the world daily to buy plastic fantastics for mentally deficient, traitorous bullies in the CIA, Pentagon and government ranks.
The world would be a better place if people rejected barbarism, aka statism. It’s hard to tell whether having more “intelligent” thugs in charge makes things better or worse.
Intelligent thugs? Is there such a thing? I sometimes disagree yet still like reading your ideas and believe you are intelligent.
“Intelligent thugs? Is there such a thing?”
Well, is Xi intelligent? Putin? Modi? Biden?
They’re all thugs. And three of the four seem reasonably intelligent to me.
“And three of the four seem reasonably intelligent to me.”
So, are we supposed to guess?
Biden’s always seemed pretty damn dumb to me. Since long before he was president.
I figured as such. My question was in jest.
To back up your statement, Barack Obama famously said, “never underestimate Joe’s ability to f*ck things up”.
Idiots voted for him. He barely walks now and has ambition to improve in 4 more years…more idiots will vote for him.
Trump was impeached for asking investigating then VP Biden’s corruption and nepotism in Ukraine. Subsequently Biden won election by record votes more than registered – by DNC cheating. Now he is sending blackmail money to Ukraine for the documents that they have on him. That corrupt government with lying MSM is exclusive source of your information. From that you know nothing about Russia or Putin.
How about Netanyahu?
He’s been smart enough to get into power multiple times in a parliamentary system. So intelligent, yes; sane, maybe not so much at this point; thug, through and through from the beginning.
Aww, you Got butt hurt when Tom called your emperor Putin a thug.
Must be very painful
Bruh, Russia is handing out citizenship like hot bread.
If you want it, it’s yours. They’ve been waiting for you.
Take the leap. Go EAST and don’t look back. It’s really awesome over there.
Trust me, I have been there.
Garrett would be arrested in Russia with in 6 months.
Lol. But dont tell him that.
Some people deserve to learn the hard way.
It would be quite believable, if you would not spread the CIA propaganda.
They need males to reproduce, labor workers to boost the economy, and more cannon fodders. 🤷🏽♂️
That’s not CiA, that’s the Kremlin saying it.
I beginning to consider that no large nation can have any leadership that isn’t sociopathic.
That doesn’t mean they are insane, but devoid of empathy and remorse.
What a Putin Fluffer you are.
Putin admires always amaze me. Killing of ones opponents is “great” way to run a country. Are you one of those people who think the dozen or so opponents of Putin just got unlucky with poor windows where they were staying, somehow ingested rare chemicals and wings of their jet just fall off at 30,000 feet.
The US has been killing it`s opponents for 500 years it started with the First Nations and continues to this day , what was it Kissinger said TO BE A ENEMY OF AMERICA IS DANGEROUS , TO BE A FRIEND OF AMERICA IS FATAL .
The US is less than 250 years old. Before it existed, it was Spain, Portugal, Britain, France, etc. killing the Earlier Nations.
So you probably live in Russia?
Actually it is the NATO that crossed the Putin’s red line because of pathological appetite for Russian resources.
The only red line NATO crossed was not allowing Putin to invade his neighboring countries to the West.
But Donny, you are reading the CIA booklet.
The Three Stooges,,,Irrational Thinker, Julio and Tim Burns, throw them all together and won’t get a cogent thought from any of them.
Ms. Maddow, is that you?
Listen to the Tucker Carlson interview of President Putin, keep an open mind, and then decide.
https://youtu.be/fOCWBhuDdDo
I have. Being a boring liar doesn’t preclude being intelligent.
At least President Putin can speak extemporaneously unlike unhelpful idiot Joey senile Biden.
Exactly. Which is better/worse: A thug who can speak extemporaneously, or an idiot thug?
Your bias is inherent in your question/comment!
“Is that an unworkable assumption?” History tells up people like Putin can be very dangerous. There is a long list of dictators like him who went too far.
“There is a long list of dictators like him who went to (sic) far.”
Yep, there’s no greater danger to the evil plans of the Satanic West (apparently as per Isaiah 14:13,14) than a powerful country like Russia which refuses to surrender, disarm, and hoist the rainbow flag.
A bible reference AND a homophobic statement!
You’ve exposed yourself for the bigot (and hypocrite) you are!
Tell me, is this part of your book as well?
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Or was that Jesus not “MAGA Jesus”?
You’re supposed to be looking at your monitor, not your mirror, as you type your infantile drivel, junior.
Oh, damn, son! Slick burn! Did you learn that one in Sunday school?
I’m sorry that all my comments are going over your head. Maybe you can find a sympathetic adult who can read and explain them to you in simple, child-like terms, commensurate with your profound cognitive impairment.
Did my reply not tag you as a simple-minded homophobe who cherry picks quotes from the “good book” to support his delusions? I’m thinking I hit that nail right on the head.
“Did my reply not tag you as a simple-minded homophobe who cherry picks quotes from the “good book” to support his delusions?”
Did my reply not tag you as someone who cannot be taken seriously? The corrupt West is obviously being run by a cult of devil-worshiping, demon-possessed theistic Satanists, whether you happen to like it or not.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! DEMONS, I tell you!
Time for your pills, son.
“BWAHAHAHAHAHA! DEMONS, I tell you!”
Well of course they are. If they are not demon-possessed madmen then neither were Ted Bundy, Charles Manson or the Zodiac killer. Evil is as evil does; do you see how that works?
Is THAT “how that works”?
I’ve noticed you haven’t commented in 6months. I hope in that time you were “resting” at a facility named — something like — Trembling Hills.
“Is THAT ‘how that works’?”
Exactly!
“I’ve noticed you haven’t commented in 6months. I hope in that time you were “resting” at a facility named — something like — Trembling Hills.”
And I’ve noticed that you unfortunately don’t seem to have much of a “life.”
Says the person who has been engaging me all day. Do you know the term “projection”?
Says the new guy commenting here for the first time. 🤣
Prophet Navarro you must be a superior being.
Why are extreme religious people always full of hatred and full of sh!t.
It was a question.
Their assumption seems to be that Putin is (or the people running him are) sane, and will therefore not be using nuclear weapons as doing so would inevitably result in their deaths and the Russian state’s destruction.
If they’re assuming incorrectly, yes, it could mean the end of humanity, or at least close.
Fair point. To answer your question, we don’t know if he rational or not. What I do that if he defeats Ukraine it will setup a feed back loop where he figures he can do it again to whoever he decides is the next “threat”. And that is where the danger comes in.
We know that he kills all internal threats to his power, will the same logic apply to external threats? Who knows, one can not predict the future. However the danger is very real.
Putin is rational. He might be a thug, but he is rational. And being rational, he’s not going to try to conquer Europe. You, like some others here, like to ignore history and the eastward expansion of NATO to Russia’s underbelly and just gobble up the MSM’s Putin fearmongering bullshit. One can only imagine what our country would have done under similar circumstances.
You don’t if he rational at this point or if he is currently is rational but change. That is risk with him. As for NATO expansion, countries living next to Russia want protection. Can you blame them?
Proofread what you write. I can’t read gibberish.
Ukraine has special status with Russia…please explain the motivation for the next “threat”. Internally Putin has high approval rating.
“Internally Putin has high approval rating.”
If it was really that high he wouldn’t have to make sure that any political opponents anyone’s ever heard of are dead or imprisoned before each “election.”
You got that nonsense from reading Russia haters, if you want the truth avoid reading CIA propaganda.
Trump was impeached “for” political reasons, but it didn’t help his case that he publicly confessed to no fewer than three high crimes and misdemeanors vis a vis the “perfect” phone call — just like Biden publicly confessed to similar corrupt conduct vis a vis Ukraine.
As for my “sources of information,” someone who’s let himself be scammed into believing that “Biden won election by record votes more than registered” isn’t qualified to evaluate sources of information.
We, the indispensable nation, introduced the world to nuclear war possibilities. The test of the two bombs went well. It also made the world less safe, because there was a mad rush for nations to have one of their own.
He was elected by a great majority and did not need cheating a la DNC for Biden.
Russia can also drop a hypersonic missile with a conventional warhead right on Macron’s head. No nuke needed. Just take out one loud-mouth as an example to the others.
And that “retarded” leader of Russia thinks he can attack or invaded any nation at will because he has nukes. There is the real danger to the world.
“can any nation”
Can what? Can invade? That’s rich if that is what you meant considering our own country’s history. But no danger from the “good guys” right?
Thanks for pointing out my boo boo. I corrected it.
The leader of Russia was forced to invade the lawless territory of the former Ukraine which was run by a murderous, illegitimate junta which posed an unacceptable threat to Russia and to millions of people living in the Eastern part of the territory.
We got ourselves a new Russian troll pretending to be hispanic.
You must be talking about the USA, the perennial warmonger. Lucky, you are political illiterate or brainwashed beyond repair.
No, he was clearly talking about the retarded midget.
I’m an idiot, but still have a few functioning brain connections to expect a major provocation before the 15–17 March 2024 Presidential Elections in Russia. Victoria Nuland, “Putin’s going to get some very nasty surprises on the battlefield.” Hope to see you guys in April.
DRINK!
DRINK!!!!!
Don’t hope, you will see us in April for sure.
Putin won’t do jack.
This is what’s wrong with the Washington…it is run by the Nuland’s brethren politburo of haters.
Again? Putin is the boy who cried wolf.

Pentagon Chief: If Ukraine Is Defeated, NATO Will Be At War With Russia
I’d humbly request of President Putin that, amid the back and forth between Moscow and Washington, you give no inkling of an immediate Russian missile strike on Washington and other targets. That is to say, no public threats.
I want Western officials incinerated before they can reach a bunker. This might be the time to update policies to notify Russians to seek immediate shelter when you anticipate that moment.

“Tucker Carlson interviews Vladimer Putin”
i remember exactly what Putin said before he invaded Ukraine = “Russia will not allow any NATO missiles to be set up in the Ukraine aimed at Russia” = those were his literally very words out of his mouth. and anybody who says otherwise is a liar.
oh and let’s not forget about Crimea, who Russia had to rescue from Ukraine way back in MF 2014. right. Russia is literally on the other side of the world and maybe uncle sam should keep his oil money in his pants for once.
edit = i really don’t know what else to say… except that this is all about oil money and natural gas money. uncle sam has almost totally cornered the market on both of those except for Russia who is #2 exporter. what a surprise that Russia is the newest bad guy. hey, remember when Iraq was the bad guy?
Macron is only stating the practical requirement, the logical conclusion of the policy makers that “We can’t let Russia take Ukraine.” … calling Biden’s bluff. If the Neocon nazis really mean it, they have to put their citizens’ blood into it.
… Like Donald Trump saying Locked & Loaded…?!
What is going on in Ukraine is mission creep it starts out with a few special forces soldiers then before you know it it is thousands like Vietnam when the Yanks finally used a false flag event to begin the war there were some 25,000 advisors = soldiers all ready in Vietnam and they still lost as they will in Ukraine .
In other news, Israel is providing Kiev with early warning systems, which is sure to affect Russia/Israel relations. If Israel contributes to the ongoing war in Ukraine, thereby becomes a partner, then look out. Russia is a friendly to Iran. If there are any security agreements between the two (I have not read of one…yet) further bombing of Iran could bring Russia into the defense of Iran. Also, there is Syria, which Israel attacks with impunity.
Hey hypocrite, hasn’t Iran been providing thousands of Shahed drones one of which just destroyed a residential building in Odessa killing a mother and her new born and one toddler plus 7 other people.
Iran has also provided long range missiles and artillery shells.
Same goes to North Korea. China has too but more discreetly.
Are you going to call that out?
No, you wont, you hypocrite.
