    If Putin desires nuclear weapons detonating on Moscow, St. Petersburg and other major Russian cities, this would grant his wish. At any given moment, the United Kingdom has at least one Vanguard-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine at sea carrying a minimum of 64 nuclear warheads on multiple Trident missiles, very likely more, the same type we use on our own ballistic missile submarines as one leg of our nuclear deterrent. It's to prevent, among other things, the kind of blackmail Putin is attempting now. The UK has 4 of these submarines. Putin is spouting empty words.

    You have to wonder if he tells his security detail that if he dies, shoot the doctors, and you never know who is worse or whom is better, but Putin sucks so bring on the next guy, he won't have consolidated Putin's power.

    Honestly, this is where the Ukraine should do a major offensive to where when Putin wakes up things are screwed.....and it can sew discord.

    An unusual 15 minute video by an Estonian with connections in Ukraine that I recommend that has clips of several recent actions by Ukraine’s military against the Russians, including close combat. The fellow introducing everything is very personable, with a wry sense of humor. There is also other related information, including weapons being sent to Ukraine by a host of different countries besides the US, as well as a couple developed by Ukraine.

    Towards the end he shows a video of a meeting between Putin and the Russian Minister of Defense and points out Putin’s posture and demeanor. Putin is gripping a corner of the table between them the entire time and I think he looks more than a little ill. Well worth watching, in my opinion.

    Has this been reported anywhere else other than the above Indian financial paper, the NY Post, Boston Herald, and other such rags?

    The extraordinary claims appeared on popular Telegram channel General SVR, which says its source is a well-placed figure in the Kremlin, the report added.

    Seems legit, I'm guessing we need more facts.
