Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered his country’s deterrence forces – which includes nuclear arms – be placed on high alert.



Yes, sir,” replied Shoigu.

The Russian President also said the sanctions placed on Russia were unlawful.

According to state news agency RIA Novosti, citing the Russian Ministry of Defense, the strategic forces "are designed to deter aggression against Russia and its allies, as well as to defeat the aggressor (inflicting defeat on him), including in a war with the use of nuclear weapons."

Former Russian military officer Konstantin Eggert told DW he had "trouble discerning" what Putin meant when he said nuclear forces are on higher alert.

"The expression he used to indicate some heightened state of alert does not exist in Russian military manuals," Eggert, DW's Russia affairs analyst said.

There are four levels of alert in the Russian military, he explained. Those four levels are: regular, heightened, the threat of war and full or complete.

"Nuclear forces are pretty much always on heightened alert," Eggert noted.

At cartel extermination site; Mexico nears 100k missing

For the investigators, the human foot -- burned, but with some fabric still attached -- was the tipoff: Until recently, this squat, ruined house was a place where bodies were ripped apart and incinerated, where the remains of some of Mexico’s missing were obliterated.

TD, this has the potential to get really, really bad. The lunacy is that we're allowing Russian to fund this war through their oil sales to the US and Europe. Putin knows this. I firmly believe the moment we stopped drilling and allowed Russian to supply Europe and opened the pipeline was the signal to Putin to act. We basically opened the door for him to just walk right in.

As each day passes, I get this feeling like the Ukraine just won't be able to hold out. They may be able to hold the Russians at bay for a while in Kiev but the Russians will just encircle the city and suffocate it from receiving any supplies. They don't even have to enter the city.

Reports are that there's a 40 mile Russian convoy close to Kiev. I would think this convoy would be a sitting duck for any viable fighting force. It's all ugly....

This was an unconfirmed report, that's all.

Russia to strike Kiev security service HQ with ‘high-precision weapons’ – warns residents living close by to evacuate Russia will launch a strike against the 'Center for Information and Psychological Operations' in the Ukrainian capital to suppress the number of information attacks on various state institutions and Russian citizens. Moscow warned residents who live in close proximity to communications towers near the headquarters in the center of Kiev to evacuate their homes for their own safety.

I feel for her, but this is not WWIII yet. If this escalates to WWII, millions of children all over the world will die, along with their parents and others. The best was can do is impose sanction but even than can lead to WWIII. It was sanctions that prompted Japan to invaded other Asian countries - and to attack Pearl Harbor, a failed attempt to prevent the US from intervening in their aggression in Asia.

It is unfortunate that the world has to sit by and let this happen. It is unfortunate that we allow Russia to sit on the UN Security Council. But China will prevent the UN from taking any real action. This is the problem with the UN.

It's all talk and complete hypocrisy. We "sanction" Russia, all the while we and Europe buy their oil. And the administration won't change course. They're so dug in on their twisted ideology that they'd rather fund the Russian war campaign than actually do something meaningful, cut off the Russian oil supply and drill, drill, drill......

hahaha, Anonymous just said they are all dossing Russian sites as well, not just them but a lot of people in the world are banding together to screw Russian sites as well, and fuck RT and Russian Progranda. Anonymous also got into the Russian tv system and replaced Russia Progranda with Ukraine news and other programs to wake the Russian people up.

The longer this goes on (and I don't think it will go on much longer) I keep getting that "wag the dog" feel. Unfortunately for the Ukraine, they'll realize that depending on the current administration was a huge miscalculation. Biden talks tough. NATO talks tough. Everyone puts on a good show talking about war crimes and sanctions.......and then the country will fall and Europe and the US will keep consuming Russian oil which was used to finance Putin's war machine. Today's Democrats are ideologies, first and foremost. Their ideology will not allow them to drill and become energy independent and starve Russia. The Russians absolutely know this.

We should have pulled out of the UN years ago and forced them to move that shitpile organization elsewhere.

Massive waste of time and energy on our behalf, sor something that is nothing but inept and corrupt.
