Nuclear Vlad: High alert for Planet Earth

• Valery Gerasimov and Sergey Shoygu appeared perturbed after announcement 

• Yesterday Russian president Vladimir Putin put his atomic arsenal on stand-by

• A senior White House official called it 'escalatory' and 'totally unnecessary step

Those very important Developments Took Place Sunday. Now as Russia dives deep into Ukraine on its fifth day of an invasion, the world is on edge as Vladimir Putin has put his nuclear forces  at high alert.. 

Citing “aggressive statements” by NATO and tough financial sanctions, Putin issued a directive to increase the readiness of Russia’s nuclear weapons, raising fears that the invasion of Ukraine could lead to nuclear war, whether by design or mistake.

The Russian leader is “potentially putting in play forces that, if there’s a miscalculation, could make things much, much more dangerous,” said a senior U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss rapidly unfolding military operations.

It would seem that this planet is at its most dangerous precipice since perhaps times of the Cuban missile crisis or other unknown periods During the Cold War.
