Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday that Putin had merely been answering a journalist’s questions on the subject and restating the already well known circumstances in which Russia would theoretically be forced to use nuclear weapons.
Peskov also drew attention to the fact that Putin had said in the same interview that the idea of using tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine had never crossed his mind.
Remember when Putin said that he had no intention of invading Ukraine? His word is completely worthless
Well, it’s not invasion. It’s “special military operation”.
Then who prevents EU from doing “special defence operation”? 😅
Liberal-fascists salivating at the thought of people from bad country™ dying. My crakkka, your people are going to be dying too.
If you think Russians are the only ones lying, you may be a useful idiot.
So at least you are saying you agree Putin’s word is worthless and he is a liar right?
I don’t trust any world leaders.
I only trust in the worm emperor
I thought the point of those books was to not trust the worm emperor
Trust him only to ensure the survival of the human race, nothing more, nothing less.

Rest your case forever… Please.
Pull up that article about how centrists get fleeced by disinformation like, all the fucking time because they think they’re immune to it.
But you are immune to it right?
Nobody is, that’s the point. If you think you’re immune, you’re already falling for it.
Triggered much?
Now, I’ll grant you, I have ZERO knowledge of Russian and so can only work from translation, BUT…
“(Western nations) must realise that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory. All this really threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons and the destruction of civilisation. Don’t they get that?!”
Seems unambiguous…
Notice: ‘…we also have…’
He is referring at the precarious nuclear effective capabilities Russia have compared to Nato countries. Ofc western headliners will write NUCLEAR WAR IMMINENT.
He meant new, clear weapons.
People (including you) seem to forget the context for why the Cold War was a cold war.
hahah, right… because he has no control over the questions they are going to ask him
shit even in the US we cant get politicians to answer spontaneous questions, wtf you think is going to happen in a de facto dictatorship??
I’m skeptical this was actually taken out of context. Trump had an interview about two years ago where he leveled this exact accusation against Putin. I really recommend watching this short clip for context, it’s still hard to believe most Americans aren’t aware of what was said here.
Whether it’s Russia, or anyone else who’s a nuclear power, or any other country or terrorist organisation that has access somehow to a nuclear weapon - why does it matter if they say they won’t use it? If shit hits the fan, or they go crazy, they will use it
No. Look at the Cold War, especially the Cuban Crisis. There were a lot of voices on both sides openly calling for a first strike, and the cooler heads prevailed.
India and Pakistan are both nuclear armed and neither has pulled the trigger.
As for Putin, think of it this way. The people who told Vlad that the Ukraine invasion would be a walk in the park are the ones who would actually pull the trigger. Those folks were robbing the army blind to pay for dachas and harems; do you think they’ll risk their Paris apartments and yachts to keep an old man happy?
There’s so much misinformation being perpetuated by the West.
I guarantee you, most people here believe Putin said “3 days” without ever seeing the source. No Russian official has ever said they expected to take Kiev in 3 days, but it’s been told often enough that dumbasses believe it as fact.
This was actually said by the US general, but liberals projection power is the strongest.
I love how you can state basic facts and libs start downvoting. These people have zero intellectual integrity.
Explanations, explanations…
