Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that his country is planning to increase their military might – accusing the West of “nuclear blackmail” in an effort to “destroy” Russia.
The Russian leader announced that they will begin conscription measures, otherwise known as a draft, in response to growing difficulties presented by the Ukraine war – escalating the conflict that is much too close to being an all-out global war.
Putin’s announcement suggests that while the Russians may be struggling in the conflict, they are willing to go to extreme lengths to ensure victory.
“In its aggressive anti-Russian policy, the West has crossed every line,” Putin said. “In Washington, London, Brussels, they are directly pushing Kyiv to transfer military operations to our territory. No longer hiding, they say that Russia should be defeated by all means on the battlefield, followed by the deprivation of political, economic, cultural, in general, any sovereignty, with the complete plunder of our country.”
Putin said that his country was willing to defend itself by any means necessary in an apparent threat to use nuclear weapons in the war should the country’s “territorial integrity” be threatened.
“I would like to remind those who make such statements regarding Russia that our country has different types of weapons as well, and some of them are more modern than the weapons NATO countries have,” he said.
“In the event of a threat to the territorial integrity of our country and to defend Russia and our people, we will certainly make use of all weapon systems available to us,” Putin continued, assertively warning that this threat of retaliation was “not a bluff.”
Arguing that the Russian military was now effectively fighting “the entire military machine of the collective West,” Putin declared that he has begun the “partial mobilization” of the Russian Federation for the purpose of aiding the war effort.
The new mobilization would mark the first time that the country has done so since World War II and could see as many as 300,000 people added to the Russian forces fighting in Ukraine.
Following Putin’s announcement, Biden spoke at the United Nations General Assembly and essentially challenged Putin to bomb us by saying that the war in Ukraine was “chosen by one man, to be very blunt.”
He also doubled down on the United States’ efforts to back Ukraine, saying, “We will stand in solidarity with Ukraine, stand against Russia’s aggression, period,” he said continuing by calling on Americans to renew their efforts to promote democracy across the world to ‘combat dictatorships.’
“The United States is determined to defend and strengthen democracy at home and around the world,” he said.
The U.S. has already provided Ukraine with tens of billions in tax-payer dollars to fund the war efforts while also providing them with the country’s most advanced weaponry and Biden will likely use this an excuse to add to that.
I have a friend who is a medical doctor, living here in Puerto Vallarta where I live. We are active together in a local social group of expatriots from around the world. He is from the Ukraine. He is very definite about this. Everything going on in the Ukraine is being promoted by the United States, and it is all about oil. When Trump was in office, he was friendly with Putin. They had an understanding about oil. The United States did not need their oil because Trump had helped make the US oil independent. Biden has shut down US oil independence in the name of being “green.” His strategy is foolish. His tactics are a disaster. Our only hope for survival is for the Replicans to take back Congress and impeach our idiotic, moronic, senile bastard President before he can continue running out into the weeds and destroying us all.
american lets take back country . lets impeach biden can we do this
So tell me why someone would take out there own pipe line to hurt himself that makes no sense….people are saying that ukraine is corrupt to why are we helping and they want to use our military for war so they can be slaughtered so tell me what we would we be fighting for if we don’t have any freedoms….there going to use our military for nothing but to take them out…no one cares anymore about us….we are all living in hell… The left is so corrupt it is not funny….they are going to tell you how to run your life and take everything away from us so we end up with nothing and Soros is in charge he ripped Hungry apart no one talks about that he don’t like privileged countries he loves to take countries out so there on there knees Begging…no one gets it this country is gone right to hell…and I am afraid we all are going to end up homeless with nothing that is what they want….the rich are getting richer and illegals are getting everything Americans are suppose to be getting…while Americans suffer…they don’t care and the fake news is involved in everything the the feds there all corrupt and crooked brainwashes and paid off liars…
I heard we already have terrorist in this country building bombs I wonder where they come from…no one no’s I guess…the boarder Afghanistan Soros with Antifa and terrorist in congress…there all here…and there coming in from the airports again because there not doing there job there acting like before 9/11/2001they don’t care either….so we have a big mess going on and no one is watching…no one is listening either….
I agree 100% with everything this man, Charles Traylor says. Biden is not being a good and concerned “president” of the United States in any way, shape or form. He has been and continues to do the exact opposite because he does not truly care about the majority of the people in the United States or in my opinion, even in the world. He is, again in my opinion, only concerned with his self aggrandized agendas to profit for himself and those who are in agreement with him no matter how their actions affect all of the rest of us. He must be removed from office, either through impeachment for criminal offenses against our country or at the very least, by being voted out by Republicans taking back Congress and then impeached.
I agree with Charles and Carole. Biden is destroying this country and doesn’t care who gets hurt. He must be impeached as soon as the Republican Party takes back Congress and then impeach Kamala.
A century ago, when my Ukrainian grandmother was only seven or eight years old, she was watching through the farmhouse kitchen window as the Communists raided her parents’ family farm. Her mother rushed over, grabbed her, and ran with her and the rest of the family out of the house and into the forested mountains. They hid out in fear of Communist spies for eight terrible years before they were finally able to escape and come legally to America. In 1991, the Soviet Union finally fell and Ukraine and the other countries ruled under its iron fist became free again. Now, a little over thirty years later, Ukraine is again under seige by a newly revived Communist Russia. My grandmother and her family must be turning over in their graves.
I agree with you all. Our president is dangerous.
Putin’s rhetoric is inching free nations toward preparation for another world war. His problem is many of his military aged men are abandoning him and many now seek asylum in neighboring nations.
Gene, while I believe Putin is a scumbag thug, I think that what is propelling this conflict is the Biden Regime. The slaughter of civilians in Ukraine is on Biden’s hands and our continuing to send billions of money we don’t have and have to print and weapons only pushes toward catastrophe. Ukraine is not an alley, has no strategic nation interest for US and I’d much rather we fight the invasion at our southern border and stand with our own people.
I agree wholeheartedly with Dennis. We should have never gotten involved in this strictly eastern European conflict. In my opinion, this is a replay of WWII. When the U.S. got involved, what many considered to be a European conflict became a World War. We should have stayed out of that one as well. However, there were many unknown forces at work at that time that wanted it that way. Most unfortunate for us in the U.S.
Putin is correct in that the US has allowed our nuclear arsenal to deteriorate and disintegrate in the mistaken assumption that no world leader would ever be desperate enough to use them. Putin is dying — he doesn’t care if he takes the whole world with him and the West is supposedly led by a senile fool who doesn’t have enough of a brain left to understand what’s going on.
First of all, Biden reversed everything that Trump achieved and signed, based on hatred for Trump. With a stroke of his pen, he made us weak and vulnerable in the eyes of the world. We are no longer the super power. Biden bows down to the demands of the far left. This is a spineless, weak, and mentally incompetent man. A puppet dangling from the strings of someone behind the curtains. He cares little for the people of this country. He is as corrupt as he can be, always was corrupt even when he was a senator. He can rub his two legs together and still won’t create any sparks. He might as well go back to his basement where the mold will grow over him. Useless then, useless now. Don’t be fooled by his speeches, he knows not what he is saying, he just rambles on. He even admits he will be in trouble if he goes off script. How does that sit with any of us? God Save America, we are circling the drain. Biden and his merry men ‘will drag us down with them!
US history tells of the US Civil war between the North and Southern states where the Southern states wanted to succeed from the Union . It was the first Republican President who put down the Southern Democrats and won the war . Today the democrats are with their XXX clan members are attempting to take over America by distorting our Constitution and the Republican Party . President Joe Biden is just a puppet first by President Obama and now by the Democrats who have taken down the Republican President Donald Trumps. When in history has a presidential candidate staged a political rally from his basements ?!
I agree with every comment made. I am a black US Navy Veteran “retired” and my faith is not in any man, but Almighty God so we should read our Bibles daily and pray.
well said,
Hang on to your hats folks, GOD IS GOING TO SAVE AMERICA!
