President Vladimir Putin warned Wednesday that Russia could provide long-range weapons to others to strike Western targets in response to NATO allies allowing Ukraine to use their arms to attack Russian territory.

Putin also reaffirmed Moscow’s readiness to use nuclear weapons if it sees a threat to its sovereignty.

The recent actions by the West will further undermine international security and could lead to “very serious problems,” he said, taking questions from international journalists — something that has become extremely rare since Moscow sent troops into Ukraine.

“That would mark their direct involvement in the war against the Russian Federation, and we reserve the right to act the same way,” Putin added.

    When Russia warns that they may do something what they’re really saying is that they won’t do something.

    They’re always threatening to end the world. But they won’t because that would also end them too. If they don’t go that far and stick to a conventional War I don’t like their chances either, after all they’re not doing well against a small number of NATO weapons. Do they expect to win a war against all of the NATO weapons?

      They don’t have the money to maintain their nukes, so we know they’re likely all junk. They’re getting their asses kicked by Ukraine. Their equipment is outdated and junk. They’re not sending shit anywhere because they don’t have the shit to send. At this point Russia is as big of a joke as the republikkklown party.
