Russia threatens to launch tactical nukes in response to Ukraine drone blitz on Moscow as rattled Vlad breaks silence
The Sun ^ | May 30th, 2023 | Nick Parker

UKRAINE was warned it faced nuclear attack today after drones blitzed Moscow - sparking blasts “within earshot” of Vladimir Putin’s home.

A wave of kamikaze flying bombs targeted posh suburbs of the Russian capital where the tyrant and his cronies have luxury retreats.

The unmanned air strikes came hours after a Ukrainian commander vowed to avenge the latest of a string of Russian air raids on Kyiv.

But Ukraine denied any involvement amid fears that the attacks were another “false flag” ruse ordered by Putin himself to enable him to escalate the conflict.

The Kremlin went on to directly accuse Ukraine of targeting Russia - a claim which backs Putin’s lie that Ukraine and the West bent on destroying his motherland.

If Russia used tactical nukes against Ukrainian military targets it's extremely unlikely the US, Britain or France would use nukes against Russia.

And once nukes are on the table, Russia conventional forces in Ukraine, and worldwide are essentially immune from conventional attack.

JoeObama and the Dems are pulling the world into a nuclear confrontation and WW3 and pretty much nobody in the US seems to be aware or even give a rip about it!

Agreed. Highly unlikely.

Nope! You're wrong.

NATO allies and the U.S. would all have to respond. Nukes are out of the question, no matter what type.

And Putin knows it. It would mean the end of his regime and devastating consequences to Russia proper.

If Russia were allowed to use nukes, there would be no country in Europe or elsewhere that would feel safe with Russia around anywhere in the world. It would be an indication to China that they too could feel free to be aggressive with countries nearby and elsewhere. It would be the beginning of WW3.

So Russia can bomb Kyiv. But for some reason Ukraine can’t bomb Moscow. That would be an outrage!

This argument makes me sick. And I say that as someone who is nether pro-Russian nor pro-Ukrainian. I have no dog in this hunt.

Ukraine will be the first to use nuclear weapons.

Some idiot country will sneak in one with the long range missiles someone has seemed to have promised them in the last couple days.

You have demonstrated yourself to be completely ignorant of US nuclear and strategic policy.

Anyone who has been in a place to know...would know there would be no military response.

If Russia used nukes against Ukraine their cachet in the world would drop to zero.

The Ukraine war should not be an existential threat to Russia. The fact that these morons are threatening nukes tells you everything you need to know about Russia. A couple of cardboard drones and these guys are pissing their pants.

The country will fragment and China will take everything north of Mongolia.

Good job Putin.

“And within hours hardline pro-Putin MPs were baying for a nuclear response.”

Russia has some Lindsey Grahams also.

No, but a US, British or French nuke could gently fall off a truck somewhere in Ukraine...

And who knows, there might be a few spares lying around those Ukrainian oligarchs kept post the Budapest Memorandum.

No, the US won’t use nukes. But they would use tomahawks and F35s. The Black Sea fleet would be sunk. And the level of arms given to Ukraine would jump up to “ the good stuff.”

Well, then educate me on that last part. I am always open to learning new things! That’s one nice feature about Free Republic. Many different perspectives are presented here.

On the other hand, if you just want to sling insults, better to just let it go and save us both some time.
