Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday that Moscow’s nuclear weapons are “more advanced and state-of-the-art” than any other nuclear-capable nation, as Ukraine increased the risk of nuclear war by striking targets deep inside Russia in drone attacks.
Putin made the comments to the Kremlin’s presidential human rights council. He called his nuclear arsenal a “deterrent factor,” but did not rule out a first-strike, according to Bloomberg.
“We won’t brandish them like a razor, running around the world, but we of course proceed from the fact they are there. This is naturally a deterrent factor, not provoking expansion of conflicts but a deterrent and I hope everyone understands this,” he said.

But he said the risk of nuclear was is growing.
TRENDPOST: The Trends Journal has long noted that as the war drags on, the risk of a major escalation increases exponentially. (See “U.S. REWARDS ZELENSKY WITH $4.5 BILLION OF U.S. TAXPAYER DOLLARS AFTER GETTING CAUGHT IN LIE TO START WWIII.”)
As we have reported, Russian President Vladimir Putin tried to avoid targeting Ukrainian infrastructure, but attacks on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines and the Crimean bridge sparked new waves of attacks targeting Ukrainian infrastructure.
Last week, the Kremlin said, “It was noted that the Russian Armed Forces had been refraining from conducting precision missile strikes on certain targets in the Ukrainian territory for a long time, but now such measures have become necessary and unavoidable as a reaction to Kyiv’s provocative attacks on Russian civilian infrastructure, including the Crimean Bridge and energy facilities,”
Ramping up the push for Ukraine to attack Russia, Edgars Rinkevics, Latvia’s foreign minister, said last week that NATO should allow “Ukrainians to use weapons to target missile sites or airfields from where those operations are being launched.”
He said allies should “not fear” escalation.
We have reported that the Russian invasion of Ukraine has spurred a lot of tough talk from Baltic countries that rely solely on U.S. and NATO protection from Russia. (See “BALTIC STATES TALK TOUGH WHEN IT COMES TO DEFEATING PUTIN.”)

One would hope to submit at push of a button an IRS approval for U.N. peace keeping in U.S.A that us UNODOC stations in Mall of America. If the capacity to push buttons exists then have an option other than nukes. And yes did try to donate to your site though did not work.
So again informing the belligerents of a strategy out if it or getting one to acquire that budget from IRS through code on website not do easy. Perhaps more to do otherwise.
