Putin: Russia could use nuclear weapons if threatened 

Very well answered by Mr Putin - why is this not aired on our mainstream media channels so that we are kept informed?

Good answer.🌻

they hate him there because he accepted their challenge and this is where this war stems

Putin's red button is much larger and stronger than NATO's buttons combined

He was just answering the reporters question. Time for this all to stop really.

At this point we all be hypocrites if we criticized this man

Hiroshima & Nagasaki....

Peace not war stop

They have every right to defend themselves

I wish my country would have done the same as Russia. Now we are invaded by NATO and by Rich invaders from EU 🇪🇺 imposing their laws taxes and fashion 😢

Very good V.Putin👍🇷🇺♥️

If your house is threatened, then you will defend it by all means necessary, right? Russia is correct. They are protecting Russian tradition, culture and their historic assets. Everyone seems to blow this out of proportion. It seems that the whole world gives a deaf ear when Russia speaks. (I bet you there will be a flood of downvotes…before you do just ask yourself: are you truly listening to both sides?)

O didn’t know their tactical weapons are that more powerful than ones dropped on Japan

Russian federation has the right to retaliate against any threat

A nuclear war with NATO seriously? You need to stop repeating the Putin line and get a grip

He said he wouldn't attack Ukraine.

Calling "wolf" ?

Russian sounds Weak Always yelling Nukes

Do people not understand that this is the end of our species.

Bad Vlad makes Fishy Rishy look like Kermit the Frog.

You are not allowed to use nuclear we just want peace 🕊️

Hundreds of thousands have died, and for what ?! 🕊️

The fact is they invaded Ukraine and NATO sees it as a threat too. Back then, if he decided not to attack Ukraine, many lives would have been much happier including himself.

I just can’t understand why Europe and the UK can not have a decent diplomatic relations with Russia. We would all be better off for it

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is really good.

Ever heard the story the boy that cried wolf

We can too.

No-propaganda: Russians may not play football well, but they won against the combined national teams of European military teams in 1814 and 1945.

We didn't ask gor this war. We dont want it. Russia wants it. Wewsnt a real friend in our alley from WW2. Not a fake one. The things we could do together are amazing and wonderful.

As a American Veteran I love every one friend and foe. I don't know anyone in Russia so why should I call them my enemy my heart goes out to the people there they can't make a decision or have any say so when they try police come arrest thousands of people.

Given what the west have now done, does Russia have any choice but to put back into Cuba those weapons from 1963

Wow ..he is an intelligent man. The Americans and European colonial powers have manufactured this to condone their past and present policies of divide and rule.❤❤

I laughed that Putin said Hiroshima & Nagasaki Got hit by 20 kilotonnes , our tactical Nuculear is 70-75 Kilotonnes 😂

Vladimir Putin is absolutely right

He speak 🗣️ the truth on this 💯 percent!

So could the west these threats are so ridiculous coming from intelligent leaders 😅

Everybody with nukes can say that. Why would anyone with nukes say that?

rusia has the right to protect itself. the bible says"Man will destroy himself."

To NATO Remember , RUSSIA not IRAQ + not Libya + not Syria not Yemen ! USA remember how you broke down and ran away from VIETNAM & Afghanistan ? ! , to Ukraine`s , The Middle East has no problem with you But you got a self Mental ISSUE with the whole world same as ISIS !!! ,

Never trust a dictator

We should have doctrine of peace. Courage to stop wars rather than staring a war Just stop firing the next bullet everybody.

He seems like a reasonable man with no intent on using nuclear weapons but I agree with him if his country is threatened then they should respond with devastating force. I just hope my country will do the same, but knowing that we are all rationally thinking reasonable men there should be no reason for a nuclear holocaust. -From Georgia With Love to Russia

It's not like Vladimir Putin will actually use a nuke

Have you guys never played DEFCON? 😂

What are you fighting for brothers? After 20 years all dead.

There He Goes Again. Again.

Пусть настанет конец , всему миру , в котором не будет россии !

Tell us something we don't know, but remember lots of countries have nuclear weapons

Isnt russia sovereignty and territory threatend right now? Ukraine is inside of russia atatcking as we speak so what happens?

The last time I heard was they have no intention to invade Ukraine and they have the right to conduct military exercises with Belarus within their borders of jurisdiction then all of a sudden his rhetoric change and the rest was history

Bla bla bla bring it up and we re not going to have world stupid Putin.

The war began without threatening. After stopping the war if any one threatens then the said weapons may be used. It is better to stop the war under humanitarian grounds.

COULD not would. Get yourselves checked into a facility to help assist you in BRINGING US the common folks some REAL news from your own eyes and your own ears and please STOP reading off a teleprompter. It's nauseating to say the least. I know you value yourselves more then the community you share lies too!

USA Our stuff works 🚀

When did we hear this nuclear word under trump

Wow I do see this as the big five playing war games- to “rattle the snake”.

I thought Russia would use nuclear weapons if Western weapons were to be used in Russia. Backing down as always. 😅😅😅

the permission to use American weapons inside Russia....

No country will be more devastated by nuclear war than Britain - and for what?

Russians fightjng Ruskins

This old man feels no safety

USA use it. Why Russia can not.

I don't support Russia but It's interesting their nuclear weapons. Soviet Union/Russia Main article: Russia and weapons of mass destruction At the peak of its arsenal in 1988, Russia possessed around 45,000 nuclear weapons in its stockpile, roughly 13,000 more than the United States arsenal, the second largest in the world, which peaked in 1966.[2] Tests Torpedoes 53-58 torpedo with 10 kilotons RDS-9 warhead 65-73 torpedo with 20 kilotons VA-111 Shkval with 150 kilotons Bombs RDS-1, 22 kiloton bomb. Tested 29 August 1949 as "First Light" (Joe 1). Total of 5 stockpiled RDS-2, 38 kiloton bomb. Tested 24 September 1951 as "Second Light." The RDS-2 was an entirely Russian design, delayed by development of the RDS-1 RDS-3, 42 kiloton bomb. First Soviet bomb tested in an airdrop on 18 October 1951. First 'mass-produced" Soviet bomb RDS-3I, 62 kiloton bomb. Tested 24 October 1954. The RDS-31 was an improved RDS-3 with external neutron generator RDS-4, "Tatyana" 42 kiloton bomb. The RDS-4 was smaller and lighter than previous Soviet Bombs. RDS-5 RDS-6, also known as RDS-6S, or "sloika" or 'layer cake" gaining about 20% of its yield from fusion. RDS-6 was tested on 12 August 1953. Yield 400 kilotons RDS-7, a backup for the RDS-6, the RDS-7 was a 500 kiloton all fission bomb comparable to the US Mk-18, development dropped after success of the RDS-6S RDS-27, 250 kiloton bomb, a 'boosted' fission bomb tested 6 November 1955. RDS-37, 3 megaton bomb, the first Soviet two-stage hydrogen bomb, tested 22 November 1955 RDS-220 Tsar Bomba an extremely large three stage bomb, initially designed as a 100-megaton-bomb, but was scaled down to 50 megatons for testing.

I don't support Russia and I support Ukraine but consider this. Russian Nuclear Forces and Doctrine Nuclear weapons play a fundamental role in Russia’s deterrence strategy. The declaratory policy governing their use has gone through four iterations since the end of the Cold War. The Kremlin implemented the first changes to its nuclear policy in the 1993 military doctrine, which eliminated mention of the “no first use” policy that Russia inherited from the Soviet Union. This omission suggested that Russia could use nuclear weapons to counter significant conventional aggression, and it likely reflected the Kremlin’s concerns about Russia’s diminished conventional military power and U.S. precision strike capabilities demonstrated during the Gulf War.[12] Russia’s 2000 military doctrine-released less than a year after NATO’s intervention in Kosovo-stated that Russia could use nuclear weapons in response to nuclear attacks, attacks using other weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and certain types of conventional attacks on its territory.[13] Building on this policy, the 2010 military doctrine stated that Russia could use nuclear weapons in response to an attack against Russia or its allies using WMDs, or in response to a large-scale conventional attack against Russia that threatens “the very existence of the state.”[14] This language went unchanged in Russia’s 2014 military doctrine.[15] In 2020, the Kremlin published its first declassified nuclear doctrine (as opposed to military doctrine), which made explicit two additional factors that could provoke a Russian nuclear response. This document lists four scenarios for nuclear employment[16]: Receipt of reliable data about the launch of ballistic missiles against Russia or its allies Use of nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) against Russia or its allies Attacks against Russian nuclear command, control, and communications infrastructure Aggression against Russia with conventional weapons that threatens “the very existence” of the Russian state Numerous questions remain about the specifics of Russia’s nuclear doctrine. Of particular importance is the question of whether Putin draws a distinction between the Russian state and his own regime. Given the risks that Putin has taken in his efforts to gain political control over Ukraine, it is possible that he believes defeat would pose a threat to the “very existence” of his rule.[17] Independent of its declaratory policy, experts assess that the Kremlin could use nuclear weapons in a regional conflict to control escalation and signal resolve.[18] As of summer 2023, Russia had an estimated stockpile of approximately 4,489 active nuclear warheads for use on strategic and theater-range delivery systems-1,197 on intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), 896 on submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), 580 on bombers, and 1,816 on a wide range of nonstrategic systems. Only 1,674 warheads, however, are currently deployed.[19] “Deployed” warheads are mated to delivery systems and ready for immediate use. “Reserve” warheads are kept in storage, often partially disassembled.[20] The current composition of Russia’s strategic nuclear force reflects an ongoing, decades-long modernization program that has gradually replaced Russia’s Soviet-era arsenal with more modern weapons.[21] This program has impacted each leg of the nuclear triad differently. Since the 2000s, Russia’s Strategic Rocket Forces have slowly replaced the ageing SS-18, SS-19, and SS-25 ICBMs with the more modern SS-27 mod 1 and SS-27 mod 2 (both of which have silo-based and road mobile variants), as well as the SS-29 ICBM and the Avangard boost-glide vehicle.[22] The Russian navy began replacing its Delta IV ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) with new Borei Class boats in 2013, and it introduced the SS-N-32 SLBM in the same year.[23] The Russian air force deployed a new model of nuclear-capable air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) in 2012, and it is in the process of extensively modernizing its fleet of Tu-160 strategic bombers.[24] Several additional delivery systems are currently under development, including a stealth bomber, a nuclear-powered cruise missile, and an intercontinental torpedo. According to Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu, modern weaponry now comprises 95 percent of Russia’s nuclear triad.[25]

So could we....if threatened. Works two ways.

hes been saying the same thing for 24 years now. all bark no bite 😂

Europe has a short memory. All you need to remember is who planted the flag over the Reichstag. Russians have a sense of justice in their genes. The Europeans will realize that they were doing something wrong only when they see Russian tanks in their windows. Ukraine is the historical lands of the Russian Empire, which Russia is forced to return back. Ukraine is a sphere of Russia's geopolitical interests, period.

LOL, he acts like Stalin wouldn't have used a nuclear bomb on Germany .

Well putin is honest speaks his mind and doesn't take 💩hes a smart man well done putin 👏🇮🇪

I am no fan of Putin. But sadly, he is 100% correct.

Hes 100% right

Ovo je komedija .covek napao drugu zemlju i prica kako se brani ! Ko da drugi nemaju atomsku bombu ? Dal sam ja jedini koji je to primetio .

Game chess. Checkmate

It shows puti is now losseing .last decision to use nuclear.

Good

That is when others doesn't have it

😡😡👿👿

Wouldn't dare

he should have used it over a year ago or at least test some in his back yard to see if it worked. All this would have been over by now.

Please dont

You bluffing.

just they use other word language

Imagine biden being this capable? 😂😂😂

I'm sorry to say this but he 100% right here

Whow he touched up on the Empire. Earlier numerous times he mentioned about the "men in black" in american government. He knows some things thatvhe doesnt tell to people 🤔

How about the U.S and its allies😅??

Wake up kids

Why is Putin so pathetic

Push the button!

DON'T POKE THE BEAR. especially when he has pockets full of massive fireworks

Absolutely correct 🇷🇺

Лучший президент❤❤❤🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺👍👍👍Путин В.В.❤❤❤Мой выбор на всех выборах в моей жизни!!!!

Because nobody cares......

This man has to apologize to the mothers of dead soldiers

Any country will do that if it's threatened. That's reality, let's face it. Please don't take his threat likely.

A man running 'very' scared. Call his bluff. 'God' can always make another 'Adam' out of clay (after the radiation has gone)

I swear he threatens this every other Tuesday like -

REPENT AND TURN TO JESUS WHILE YOU CAN TIME IS RUNNING OUT DONT GO TO HELL
