Nukes are the only weapons he has left!😂

[bigamigo]

Yes we know he's been saying this for decades

[rcchan]

For the 10, 000 time, Mr. Napoleon Complex threatens West with nukes. Why is this worthy of news?

[commonsense]

ALL nuclear capable countries are "ready" to use nuclear weapons. That's the whole point of military readiness to protect yourself.

[VogtTD]

Reading the comments. It is disturbing how dumb and short sighted the average MSM consumer actually is.

[spaghettiman]

And all could be fixed immediately if he just got out of Ukraine...

[williamwyckoff]

I like world leaders who don't threaten me and my family with annihilation.

[richardw.crocker]

It’s up to Putin to pull his troops out and calm things down

[UWI-Anna]

Putin started war and He wants US to stop it😂😂

[Unknown_tomb]

Just like north Korea he's all talk

[igorrromanov]

I am amused. Which nuclear power (THE ONLY ONE!) has a preemptive strike postulate in its military doctrine?

[Onehitwonder]

If he was to use nukes, it would be the end of him. He would face the wrath of humanity.

[RNDixit-meuj]

Putin is only ready Sam has already used Nukes twice😂😂

[eternalskeptic]

Putin's playing Russian roulette, but he's loaded all six...

[igorrromanov]

It's not a THREAT, it is a WARNING.

[johntatum]

Thanks for the warning Putin...very thoughtful of you.

[dinnerwaltz]

Am I the only one rolling my eyes at Russians on the street?

[MrJoker-]

It gets said once a year, it is the go to trick in the bag, starting to desensitize the public.

[Arulane]

Yes yes…. You will use nukes.
Any idea how many times the leader of Russia has threatened to use nukes if they didn’t get their way? Me either. I lost count years and years ago.
Get a new act, Putin. You’re boring.

[nickmacarius]

"Completely disturbing news to wake up to."

Yeah, it's been like that everyday for years. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂
