Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a televised statement today that he was ordering Russia’s nuclear forces on alert.
According to Axios:
- This is the second time Putin has alluded to Russia’s nuclear arsenal while effectively warning the West to back off.
- In a statement at the onset of the invasion, Putin said anyone who tried to “hinder us” would face “such consequences that you have never encountered in your history.”
- Fear of a standoff between nuclear powers is a large part of the reason the U.S. and its NATO allies have been so adamant that they will not send troops to Ukraine.
C’mon, Joe. It’s “game on”.
Unleash our oil & gas industry to stop funding Putin’s aggression (and slow the rate of inflation here at home).
