Vladimir Putin put Russia’s nuclear deterrent foces on high alert on Sunday.
Putin justified his actions after top NATO officials made “aggressive statements against our country.”
President Vladimir Putin has ordered his military’s nuclear deterrent forces to be on alert as international tension builds over Russia’s four-day-old invasion of Ukraine.
Putin said in a meeting of top officials on Sunday that the move was in response to leading NATO powers making what he called “aggressive statements,” according to Tass, the state-owned Russian news agency.
Russia, like the United States, has thousands of nuclear warheads that it maintains as a deterrent to an attack.

Just listened to a former Russian who is now an Officer in the American Military (a first I believe). He had a very interesting perspective on Putin etc. He said in Russia, his mothers profession was a Psychologist or Psychiatrist (didnt fully catch which one she was), and she would endlessly say that Putin was a certifiable psychopath. With that in mind, he pointed out something else no one has mentioned. He said that Putin has captured Chernobyl. Chernobyl needs a constant team to care for the facility, due to the still nuclear content at the site. That professional team of Ukrainians, is now not there since the Russians have taken that site. Also, some "experts" are speculating Putin may unleash a cyber attack rather than go neutral..whew...scary stuff He is loosing, he is cornered & with a mad man, that is very dangerous...
