Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned the West to stop arming Ukraine and threatening the “territorial integrity” of Russia. According to Putin, Russia has “chosen it’s own path” and Western nations should understand “nuclear winds can turn in their direction.”
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev also said on Thursday that any weapons in Moscow’s arsenal, including strategic nuclear weapons, could be used to defend territories annexed to Russia from Ukraine.
Medvedev, who serves as deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, said that referendums planned by pro-Russian authorities in large swathes of Ukrainian territory will take place soon, and “there is no going back”.

“Therefore, various retired idiots with generals’ stripes do not need to scare us with talk about a NATO strike on Crimea,” Medvedev wrote on Telegram. “Hypersonic [missiles] are guaranteed to be able to reach targets in Europe and the United States much faster.”
“The Western establishment and all citizens of NATO countries in general need to understand that Russia has chosen its own path,” he added. JPost report:
Nuclear “winds” of war
During his Wednesday speech mobilizing Russian reservists, Russian President Vladimir Putin made veiled nuclear threats against Ukraine’s western allies.
“Those who are trying to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know that the wind can turn in their direction.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin
Putin claimed that Western countries had “crossed every line” and tried to “blackmail” Russia with nuclear weapons.
“We are talking not only about the shelling of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, which is encouraged by the West, which threatens a nuclear catastrophe, but also about the statements of some high-ranking representatives of the leading NATO states about the possibility and admissibility of using weapons of mass destruction against Russia – nuclear weapons,” said Putin.
“To those who allow themselves to make such statements about Russia, I would like to remind you that our country also has various means of destruction, and for some components more modern than those of the NATO countries. And if the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we will certainly use all the means at our disposal to protect Russia and our people. It’s not a bluff.”
“Those who are trying to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know that the wind can turn in their direction,” warned the Russian president, adding that Russia will use “all available means.”
Putin claimed that the West is trying to “weaken and destroy Russia,” adding that “When the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we will certainly use all the means at our disposal to protect Russia and our people. This is not a bluff.”
Is nuclear war possible?
A senior Biden administration official dismissed Putin’s nuclear-charged language on Wednesday, saying “we have heard him before wave around the nuclear card, and we heard it again in his speech today. And, in fact, the language and formula he used today is quite similar to how he’s spoken before.”

This is actually nothing new under the sun.
The people of today now get a fair impression of what life in the 60ies was under the constant threat of nuclear annhiliation.
Let’s hope that this time there’ll be no “human error”…
A little different-THE DRAFT vs the anti-war movement vs human rights movement vs DOA president and brother bobby and martin and
NUCLEAR WINTER had been here since the japan accident still leaking five nuclear reactors the nuclear commission`s COVER UP with UV whiteout and weather changed ever since and off the chart radioactive levels now covered up
Sounds like part of the “scare event” mentioned by Q.
Isn’t that why Biden sent the weapons, just like he left Billions Worth of Weapons in Afghanistan – he’s Arming Our enemies…We Know World leaders Are working together to “push forward” ‘their’ Luciferian One World Church-State.
BUSH left 1/3 of all army vehicles in afghanistan for good as it cost to much to ship them back to the states.And in the desert storm most of the vehicle we fought we our`s left over from WW-1&2 same old same old
The army leaving equipment and weapons behind is done for a single reason:
To get new stuff — which obviously leads to even more money transfers from the tax payer to the industry (=shareholders).
(hence “military-industrial-complex”).
