Russia has said it could renew the deployment of short and intermediate range nuclear missiles amid mounting tensions with the United States.
Moscow said on Monday that it no longer considers itself bound by its self-imposed freeze on the deployment of the missiles.
The move came after President Trump said he was repositioning two US nuclear submarines in response to nuclear threats from Dmitry Medvedev, the former Russian president who is now a senior security official.
Posting on social media for the first time since Trump’s order, Medvedev said on X that Moscow’s latest decision “is the result of Nato countries’ anti-Russian policy”. He added: “This is a new reality all our opponents will have to reckon with. Expect further steps.”
Putin has been rattling his saber since his two week military operation STARTED 3 years ago.
For 3 years Russia was threaten nuclear holocaust and armageddon every other week and warns the west not to cross the red line of sending ~~weapons~~ ~~heavy weapons~~ ~~long range weapons~~ ~~missiles~~ fighter jets etc etc
Boy who cried wolf – meet Moscow who cried nuke.
Considering Russia has failed to invest in ongoing nuclear maintenance, the military consensus is that none of the missiles actually work, certainly not the nuclear warheads. They didn’t call his bluff to let him save face, but I think that time has come and gone. It’s time for Putin’s replacement.
