Putin warns of ‘lightning fast’ retaliation if the West intervenes with Ukraine [Video]
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- Russian President Vladimir Putin warned of “lightning” fast retaliation against any nation that “interferes” with Russia’s war in Ukraine.
- “We have all the tools to do this. The kind that no one else can boast of right now,” Putin threatened.
- Moscow is still saying that its “special military operation” in Ukraine is an attempt to “denazify” certain regions.
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has warned the West on Wednesday of a “lightning fast” retaliation against any nation that intervenes in its war against Ukraine.
“If anyone ventures to intervene from the outside and [pose] unacceptable threats of a strategic nature to Russia, they should know that our counter-retaliatory strikes will take place with lightning speed,” he said.
“We have all the instruments [to respond] that no one can boast of … we’re going to use them if we have to,” he said. The threat has been widely seen as a reference to Russia’s arsenal of intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons.
Russia once again suggested last week that Western support of Kyiv could lead to nuclear warfare. Putin escalated the warning on Wednesday. Russia deployed a hypersonic missile last month.
“And we will not boast; we will use them if necessary. I want everyone to know that,” he warned. “All the decisions have been made in this regard.”
NATO nations and its allies vowed to continue to support Ukraine as Russia’s invasion reached more than 60 days. Defense officials have warned that fights in eastern and southern Ukraine will be even more brutal.
Moscow is still saying that its “special military operation” in Ukraine is an attempt to “denazify” certain regions.
Russian forces have not made any major military advancements this week. Western nations said they would like to see Russia fail in Ukraine. They also want to see Russia incapacitated to the extent that it is unable to launch a similar offensive again.
Putin’s response was to boost his efforts and told Russian lawmakers, “I want to emphasize again that all the tasks of the special military operation we are conducting in the Donbas and Ukraine, launched on Feb. 24, will be unconditionally fulfilled.”
Russia has extended its “special military operation” in Ukraine outside of eastern Donbas. It vowed to seek “full control” of eastern Ukraine, giving it better leverage to next launch a campaign into neighboring Moldova.

Putin is delusional with his lightning fast threat. His stuff don’t even work most of the time.
After his lightning fast response. Russia will cease to exist and the people of Russia
will be free for the first time in over a hundred years and all their dictators will be dead.

Russia and Communist China DEPLOYED its fully tested Mach 5-8 Hypersonic and Mach 20+ Hyperglide missiles last year!
The US and NATO have NO DEPLOYED defense to counter a 15-30 minute first strike flight time!
Yes, our slower ICBM response threatens Russia and Communist China and the end of Western Civilization.
The very few US Military Lasers available do not work in rain, snow and sleet. Helll, even heavy black smoke from burning tires in Gaza blocks the new superb Israeli laser.
Meanwhile, Obama and the muslims laugh and wait to pick up the pieces afterwards, as planned.

Great idea except the”Communists” have all the guns! More to the point, we whipped the Communists for the Russian people before and look what they voted back into leadership of the government. Another “Communist” to run Russia! You Russians voted him into office, now live with him!

This has all ben predicted thousands of years ago. I have wondered for years if I would witness it. Am I scared? Not a bit. I know where I will be. The United States, (I am a American) will be gone. We have been warned, but no one listened. Ever wonder why Trump and the other rich have bought pri9vateislands.? They know what is coming. We just do not know exactly when. Have you been watching how many troops, how much material for war, how many aircraft, (Fighters, bombers, tanks, artillery) have been already shipped to Syria? How about how many troops? Have you heard Russia Tell Israel, the Gollan Heights are not theirs? They also told Israel they wanted Jerusalem to un, because of Temple Mount. Who will be Russia’s allies? Read Ezekiel, Chapter 38. The Grandsons if Noah are listed. Look up the names, then use your search engine to see the name now. Iran was Persia. We are getting closer and closer. For your own sake, read Chapter 38.

If someone says they’re going to kill you. You ARE justified in killing him/her FIRST.

The only Nazi in this war is Adolf Putin. Ukraine needs missiles, bombs, rockets, etc. so it can start bombing the Kremlin, Moscow, airports, ocean ports, factories, and other large Russian cities. Nothing else will bring Putin the war criminal to the table.
