Something is going to happen soon. I can't give any dates but just be on the look out and prepare because everything in our world is about to become a bit real and strange in ways we weren't ready for.

The invading country is the victim....sure thing Vladdie.

I know communists are usually behind the times with the rest of the world but my goodness, how old are those telephones??

[ForestNinjaZero]

Please continue threatening "various means of destruction, " and "unpredictable consequences, " then wondering if your opponents are attempting to blackmail you with nuclear readiness.

He once looked strong, now he looks delusional….

I don't understand why Russia pretends that many other countries don't also have Nukes. But just like their military I think they have far less operational nuclear weapons then they say they do.

[wvhunter]

Wait! You told us Russia was out of soldiers and ammo and that Putin is sick and almost dead and that Russia already lost????

[wvhunter]

There goes another $100 Billion of US taxpayers' money!

Yup we know ., ... as long as you know neither is NATO. That hasn't even fired 1 single shot yet ...
Leaving the entire Arsenals of 30 plus NATO countries completely intact .

It's inevitable that we will be involved in a nuclear exchange with Russia/China/Iran eventually. We've avoided it thus far, but either by mishap or intent, the nuclear weapons that we worked so hard to develop will be employed.

[yeahno]

He's desperate and it's scary . Pretty sure the world is tired of war

[alexaaa]

Okay then but surely if he had such strong nuclear power wouldn't he have got it over with because I thought the saying was actions speak louder then words not the other way round

[btonemajor]

By your actions you are directly hurting your own country and its People, Vlad. If that doesn't mean anything to you then this will be your downfall for once and forever. People of Russia, find and exert your voice. Your co-operative measures with your outside world and other countries are crucial. #SAVERussia 💯💯

He's lied again lads what a surprise.

[benwijnsberge]

UN should make a resolution in wich is stated they do not recognize crimea, Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia as Russian !!!

[misterhoneybunny]

Democratic Russia does not have nuclear weapons. Gorbachev had destroyed all nuclear weapons.

Pretending that democratic Russia is the Soviet Union is mentally incoherent.

[SantosRiveraPR]

Well my friend...you are not the only one with power...

Telling a Great leader of a Great nation the word "DON'T" is almost exactly like grounding toddler trump from his allowance for 30 days.

We are in need of a great leader to sit down with this gentleman unfortunately it may be past our presidents bedtime.
