Putin not capable of following through on threats as he lacks the power he once had | Michael Clarke

"He’s the playground bully and he always up the rhetoric at times like this."

Putin is "pulling every lever" to "get his way" but forgets that Nato has nuclear weapons too, says former Director General of Royal United Services Institute Michael Clarke.

Big respect for Micheal Clarke always speaks wise words, well said 👍

This us exactly right and another reason why Putin would not dare use a nuclear weapon or just attack the U.S. or UK.

Finally someone speaking up to the bully in Russia !
🇬🇧

Very well said & provided much relief. 😅

Thank you Professor for telling the truth.
Putin and his friends continue to give toothless threats, we are tired of Putin and his bully attitude.

[JoaoCosta-pnim]

Exactly! The bravados of Putin and his minions are just that, bravados and empty threats. Putin’s regime do not stand a chance to survive a nuclear confrontation. They know that but in their silly games of threats pretend that this reality does not exist. It is important that this message is shout out loudly in their ears.

Putin better watch where he walks too close to a window he might fall out 🇺🇦🇺🇸

I Thank you Brits💙for telling it like IT IS.

[Nick-pqri]

Thank you Professor Clarke for explaining the simple fact that we most definitely have the capability to strike at the heart of any enemy as you say within one hour it would be done given the order without fail 🇺🇦✌️🇬🇧

Putin throws around nuclear threats as if there would be no reply from the west. What a joke.

[cry_red]

It's called an act of mutual destruction. Sadly.

Mr. Clarke can you get the U. S. to stop listening to the bully?💙💛

I recently discovered that Moscow is a single city. And all that land settled by other cultures throughout Russia under the boot of Moscow is not located within Moscow. One city kind of manages all these other ones by force. Just the one city.

The noise in my head hushes when this man talks. He commands respect with his mastery of the situation. He's Outstanding and he's not used enough in the media.

One U.S. nuclear submarine ranks as more militarily powerful than most nations.

A dog that barks a lot usually runs away when challenged.

A bully relies on your fear!
When you are no longer scared they lose their power!

Pootin also knows we perform the maintenance on our nukes, whereas they don't appear to take care of much of their stuff at all.

[LuciferMornStar]

That would be 40 missles I think if they are close to ours in design. But each missle has multiple warheads. I really don't think that Czar Ratspootin wants his fancy palace turned into glass along with a whole lot of Moscow and the surrounding area! Even if that's OK with putput, I bet it isn't with the oligarchs!!!
I think London is safe!
