Russia will protect itself with nuclear weapons, warns Putin

President Putin has accused the West of seeking Russia’s destruction and promised retaliation with weapons of mass destruction if there was any attempt to encroach on Russian territory.

Speaking to MPs and dignitaries in his annual televised address, Putin said the West desired Russia’s “strategic defeat” and the country had to be ready to protect itself, including with nuclear weapons.

He said the West was “choosing targets to strike on our territory” and pulling Ukraine into Nato, requiring a response from Moscow.

There is one problem. The Russians are not kidding, they will burn the planet and Americans live in their Hollywood movies but that film does not end according to the American Script.

Russia has a published formal policy regarding the use of nuclear weapons. Don't threaten the country & the conditions wont be triggered.

Breaking news: Nuclear armed country has nukes

I'm heartened to see the comments here. Seems more and more people know not to trust our Western media and politicians when it comes to Russia. There was a time when I thought people would never learn not to trust them, no matter how many times they were shown to lie.

Somewhere there, in Elysees palace, someone who just yesterday thought that he is new Napoleon, slowly hiding under his grandma-wife dress…

Russia is so lucky that this man (Pres. Putin) really love his county

When a nation who is fighting a Brutal war against Ukraine and NATO proxy forces has 16000 sanctions placed upon it, but still has the largest growing economy in the world at 3.6% growth last year, while in the UK have -0.03% growth and our economy officially in recession. Talking about sending troops against Russia is just stupid, sad and bound to fail.

_'But we remember the fate of those who once sent their contingents to our country'_

An almost poetic understatement there. Classic Putin.

Russia has been extremely patient with these Western Muppets and we love you all for that. It is the governments that are responsible as I believe most of its people don't want conflict with Russia. Much love and respect, Russia 🇷🇺 from England ❤❤❤
