Putin asserted at a meeting with his top officials on Sunday that leading NATO powers had made “aggressive statements” along with the West imposing hard-hitting financial sanctions against Russia, including the president himself.
The alert means Putin has ordered Russia’s nuclear weapons prepared for increased readiness to launch. He told the Russian defense minister and the chief of the military’s General Staff to put the nuclear deterrent forces in a “special regime of combat duty.”

The guy is crazy….
Ukraine is a legitimate capitalist western democracy. A threat there from KGB Putin, supported by GOPQ rightists is disgusting. If Putin is so great then why are Charedi fleeing to Polen?
Can the resident expert on everything explain to us how Putin putting Nuclear forces on high alert is good for Jews.
