Russia has threatened to target Denmark’s warships with nuclear weapons if the Scandinavian nation becomes a member of Nato’s missile defence shield.

Russia threatens Denmark with nuclear weapons if it tries to join Nato defence shield - Europe - World - The Independent

Putin knows damn well what a nuclear attack on a NATO member means, this is the last straw, this man Adolf Putler needs to be stopped by any means necessary, it is incumbent on any person in the world capable of doing so to assassinate this insane genocidal monster.

I said it before and I'll keep saying it. Putin is the most dangerous person in the world right now. He is much more dangerous than ISIS, or any of those groups.

This is a bit of a non story really. I'm pretty sure NATO warships from any of its member states have always featured in Russia's nuclear attack plans
 
Re: Russia Threatens Nuclear Armaggedon

It's a hollow threat nor is it a threat of war. Rather just an obvious statement by Putin, nothing else.

Nuclear Armageddon for Nato would result in Nuclear Armageddon for Russia and that's why it's not going to happen. :roll:

Wait and see, and don't forget to duck and cover.

Mitt was right... Obama was WRONG...

IM SHOCKED
 
Re: Russia Threatens Nuclear Armaggedon

U.S. aircraft carriers might be the targets of Russian nuclear missiles, but even that is doubtful. Plain old conventional explosives sank even the largest ships just fine during World War II, just as they would now. This was not very politic of Ambassador Vanin, and not very clever, either. If you want to intimidate someone, your threat has to be something he's likely to believe. Denmark doesn't have any ships large enough to justify wasting even the smallest nuclear weapon on. The most important thing, when these threats come along, is to make very clear that they do not work.

Obama won't be running again to in 2016 to beat whoever emerges from the GOP clown car. So you can give the hate and partisan BS a rest.

Yes threatening to attack Denmark with nuclear weapons is not a threat of war, Putin Cult of Personality propaganda, nothing more.

This is based on the assumption that Putin is rational rather than the delusional nut job that he is.

Announcing what would be "targeted" is not a threat of war whatsoever. Rather, it was just announcing the obvious. If Denmark becomes part of NATO then it becomes part of responsive targeting. So what? No surprise. No threat. Just obvious reality.

But Travis was right. Obama Was wrong, and that stupid " reset " button was just on of many of his Foreign Policy blunders.

Putin is not the Czar of Russia and if he ordered a nuclear attack the result would, instead, be his assassination (likely presented publicly as his having a heart attack.) The structure of the Russian military is not like that of the USA. It is far more independent of the civil government.

Putin is dangerous in terms of regional expansion goals and potentially causing troubles in various countries. But he is not a threat of nuclear war. He does not have the power to unilaterally order a nuclear strike.

Denmark is already a NATO member, the Russians said they will use nukes if Denmark joins the NATO missile defense shield.

we wouldn't survive a nuclear war with Russia. luckily, it's not going to happen. even the hawks in congress aren't that stupid. well, most of them, anyway. McCain wants war with everyone.

You want to get into how many things all presidents were wrong about? How about we start with how many things Mr. Bush was wrong about. And Bush's response to Putin taking Georgia.

In dealing with Russia the fact is we don't have many options. No president does/did.

Jeez...what an over-hyped story.

The Russian ambassador to Denmark said:

'Mikhail Vanin told the told Jyllands-Posten newspaper: “I do not think that the Danes fully understand the consequences if Denmark joins the US-led missile defence shield. If that happens, Danish warships become targets for Russian nuclear missiles.”'


Well duh.

It means that some of Russia's nuclear missiles will now be targeted - IN WARTIME - to attack Danish ships that are part of the defense shield. Just as other non-Danish ships/radars weapon systems that are currently part of the defense shield are probably already targeted.
Just like America has targeted various Russian targets during wartime.

SO WHAT?

Sorry but Bush isn't President anymore, and hasn't been President for some time now.

And Bush wasn't the one who thought of that ridiculous reset button iniative.

Romney WAS right all along.

You people get so irritated when those on the Right expose Obama's failures. Here's a thought.

Spend a whole 10 minutes vetting your'e President next time before pulling the lever. Dont be so damn susceptible to empty platitudes and bumper sticker slogans.
 
Re: Russia Threatens Nuclear Armaggedon

Interesting that Russia is telling the world that use of conventional weapons is not an option if a war starts.

I'm pretty sure Russia can afford to 'waste' quite a number of its considerable arsenal of nuclear weapons on naval targets smaller than carriers. Its not like they don't have plenty to spare after all
