U.S. officials respond to Putin putting nuclear forces on high alert

He's posturing. Everyone knows that once a single nuke is sent, the retaliation will be apocalyptic.

[thomasjensen]

As a veteran of the U.S. armed forces are ALWAYS on high alert, 24 hours a say 365 days a year.

[abdiver]

During the Cold War, this was called "saber rattling." All our presidents stood strong against it and the Soviet Union fell in the end. The more we give in and let him intimidate us, the stronger he gets and the more he wins.

[mikofreeman]

Everyone saying putin isn't crazy enough to nuke was also saying he isn't crazy enough to invade Ukraine...

[Pinkielover]

Fun fact the US has been on nuclear higher alert many many times throughout history and you barely hear about it

[BrianHSC]

He could've gave that order off screen. The fact that he said that on screen means it's meant to be a threat. Like Psaki said. You have to go strong against Putin. Void the nuclear agreement and kick him out of UN. Neither of those are working anyway.

THANK YOU FOR POLOAND AND ROMANIA FOR HELPING THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE.

I pray there are individuals in the Russian military with enough sense to not let a madman unleash nuclear Armageddon.

[ExcavationNation]

Damn I wouldn't have quit smoking if I knew this was about to happen

“Manufacturing threats that don’t exist in order to justify further aggression.” - sounds familiar 🤔

[td]

“Manufacturing threats that don’t exist to justify aggression” is really more of a US pattern than it is Russia

[Mw-npxc]

In Iran we gathered in front of Russia embassy with placards to tell them to stop the war and it happened last night . People even started saying ‘down with Putin and everyone who’s supporting him, but Cups attracted people and beat them so badly just like always.
If here’s anyone from Ukraine just know that we are standing by You

[hunterduhwayne]

if it is for real tho, this is why nobody should be led by a dictator because he could have a physcotic break and just fo whatever he wants and thats too much power for one man

*invades Ukraine* Russia: “our western allies are being aggressive, I must respond in defense”

[ЛюбовьШмиголь]

I am from Sevastopol, Crimea, and we support our President's decision. None of you lived in a fear of Ukrainian nationalist's threat "to come and raise your kids on knives". My husband who surved in Berkut, police, turned grey overnight, when he saw what those innocent Ukrainians did with unarmed policemen in 2014. We have no more tolerance to fascism and nationalism in any form. We have been diplomatic for too long. Now it's time to answer back. For all inoccent kids murdered in Donbass, for our tears and pleas. Sorry

[bluecollarmenproductions]

“manufacturing threats” um …he’s actually attacking Ukraine what are you talking about

[klutzycutie]

He’s just testing the waters. If you give him an inch he will go a mile. He’s just waiting to see what the next play is.

[TickleSalty]

USMC vet here. Nuclear forces are always on the highest alert 24/7. Nothing new here or worth losing your bladder.

[Galactis]

No, the American people should not be looking at a certain viewpoint because, our leaders tell us. We should be looking at all viewpoints, not what the government spoon feeds us.
