During his evening programme tonight, Russian state TV presenter Dmitry Kiselyov delivered a monologue in which he posed the question: "why do we need a world if Russia's not in it?"
He was considering President Putin’s announcement today that he is putting Russia’s nuclear forces on high alert.
"In total our submarines are capable of launching over 500 nuclear warheads, which guarantees the destruction of the US and all Nato countries to boot," he said on his Vesti Nedeli show.
"That's according to the principle 'why do we need a world if Russia's not in it?'
"Russia's nuclear weapons are also delivered by the fastest strategic bombers in the world," he said, adding that "we won't even talk about our Strategic Rocket Forces".
"In total, Russia's nuclear capability is the most powerful in the world," he said.
"Now Russia's entire nuclear triad has been placed on special alert. Putin warned them. Don't try to frighten Russia."

struggling with this story. the Russians have been held back on eastern front, only advanced about 100miles from the north, and got held at Mykolaiv in the south. this column would have done about 350 miles without contact with any Ukrainans reported? if they have, its a legendary strategic manoeuvre.

As am I. The amounts of satellites concentrated on Ukraine at the moment makes it hard to believe.

Sunday night telly in Russia is hardly Call the Midwife is it?
He’s putins mate so not surprised. Smacks of desperation which in itself is concerning but methinks the military would put a stop to any use of nukes unless of course someone was on the doorstep of Moscow.

Yes.
I believe Hitler would have done the same if he had access to nuclear weapons at the time of his downfall.

Johnson has now decided Ukrainians with family here can come without visas. Others will have to take their chances elsewhere.

sadly for the world yes i do. Once he realises his game is up and it’s all done for, think his mind is so warped and twisted his thoughts would be if i’m done for so are you all and you’re coming with me. Heavens i hope i’m wrong.

Get the drones up and wipe them out. The further up the road, the more fear in the next bunch sent

If Putin believes external forces are getting involved in wiping out his troops then he will soon start his own bombing/nukes.

Whether we see boots on the ground or not, our country is now at war with Russia. To supply arms, war machinery, and even to suggest, and by default encourage, mercenaries to make their way to the Ukraine (Liz Truss earlier) is evidence enough. This is why Putin has spoken of placing his 'deterrent' (nuclear arsenal) on alert. I don't believe he would ever use it. But what I do believe is that instead of firing up the rhetoric, for the sake of peace on this continent, someone needs to make the first move to conciliation before things are too far gone.
The Ukrainians are exercising their right to defend their nation, everyone else has a duty to stop this war from continuing and escalating.

strong and stable with me, or...
It’s all very well saying we don’t need the rest of the world if we have Russia, but the rest of the world does have 2000 active nukes so pushing the button is effectively a dead man’s switch.

And I can only imagine how Putin would react if Ukraine wiped out a 3mile queue of Russian troops

It does say south of Kyiv, but it also says they're passing Ivankiv which is NW of Kyiv. Moving southward but to N on Belarus side

They fired a cruise missile to tonight and peskov Said campaign will continue pending talks.
Good for the goose.... F*** them, they're moving onto Ukrainian soil to kill.
