Hello RT
I take the entire topic of nuclear war very seriously.
I also know that there are many forms of illusory propaganda.
Am I ready? Honestly, no, I'm not ready.
But it seems to me that there is no such thing as "being ready" for a nuclear conflict, that question doesn't appear sincere.
Nuclear weapons, in order to be an effective asset, must ALWAYS be ready for use; otherwise they are only a waste of resources.
If they are ready for use, the threat posed by Putin's statement has been standing all along, nothing has really changed.
The object of evoking fear is to make the 'constant threat' mean something right now. But it is always "right now" as far as nuclear weapons are concerned.
I get what is intended... waving the weapon and calling attention to your ability to use it at your whim... does Putin think that we had "forgotten?" At least on my part, I never did.
The Russia/Ukraine conflict has been usurped of international attention recently...
could it be that we want to call attention to the conflict in Ukraine?
No judgement, I get it.
Respectfully, no world leader should be oblivious to the fact that detonating nuclear weapons in war is a tipping point after which there is no "winner," only a world full of losers... Why is Ukraine worth that?
