Gravitas | Did NATO provoke Russia to stage tactical Nuclear Weapons Drills? | WION

sh shifting Focus now to the other War the one in Ukraine for long now one question has haunted NATO leaders will the Russian President Vladimir Putin press the nuclear button and for long Moscow has denied it has any such intention however today that possibility is looking more tangible than ever the Russian president has ordered nuclear drills to be conducted right on Ukraine’s doorstep that’s right on Monday Russia now drills including practice for the use of tactical nuclear weapons now what are tactical nuclear weapons they are weapons to be used on the battlefield to achieve a military goal they can be mounted on missiles air dropped bombs or even artillery shells and here’s why Russia’s announcement of nuclear weapons drills is Big major nuclear Powers routinely check their nuclear weapons but very rarely link such exercises to specific perceived threats in the way that Russia has at least publicly so what triggered this reaction from Russia Moscow blames it on the west no surprises there except NATO leaders have recently expressed their intent to deploy troops to Ukraine remember Ukraine is not part of the US Le block it wants to join the alliance in fact it was this interest that also triggered the Russia Ukraine tensions in the first place but placing NATO soldiers in Ukraine to fight Russia that was never going to be on the cards for starters Ukraine is not a member of NATO the us-led military Alliance can go to war when one of them is attacked first it is its policy an attack on one is an attack on all hence as it stands right now NATO has no reason to attack or go to war with Russia moreover direct confrontation with Russia is not what the NATO wants a direct war with Russia would trigger World War II and that is not what NATO would want or can afford still it has not stopped some of them from discussing the Western response to the Ukraine war take the example of the French President Emmanuel macron in an interview with The Economist magazine macron did not rule out sending troops to Ukraine to confront Russia a day later the U UK foreign secretary David Cameron also declared that Ukraine could use British weapons against targets inside Russia if it wanted now these provocative statements from the West have seemingly angered Vladimir Putin provoking him enough to flaunt Russia’s nuclear Arsenal in the drills that have been ordered according to the Russian Ministry of Defense the nuclear weapons drill will include practice for the preparation and deployment of non-strategic nuclear weapons weapons intended to increase Readiness to fulfill combat tasks and here why the NATO should not take Russia’s warning lightly Russia’s strategic nuclear forces hold exercises regularly but the new drills involving tactical nuclear weapons Mark a significant escalation in the conflict since the war started Russia has warned of rising nuclear risks in March in fact Putin warned the West that a direct conflict between Russia and the US L NATO would mean the planet was one step away from world War I he also said that hardly anyone wanted such a scenario still shouldn’t NATO leaders exercise restraint in provoking Russia in the two years of the war we’ve already come a long way from verbal nuclear threats to Russia now holding nuclear drills who is going to stop before the next step becomes a reality sure Russia follows a no first use policy indicating it would retaliate to any nuclear or mass destruction attack against it still amid the escalating provocations could the Ukraine war turn nuclear we do hope that sense prevails to stay up to speed with the latest news download the weon app And subscribe to our YouTube channel

  2. Russia need the training… They have lost EIGHT nuclear submarines (including the K-129 which failed to report then was chased by Russian surface vessels before sinking near Hawaii) and Kyshtym disaster and Chernobyl .. People like Vasili Alexandrovich Arkhipov and Stanislav Petrov need all the training they can get.

  6. Putin didn't need any provoking by anyone he's been making territorial ambitions for as long as he been the dictator his murderous history speaks for itself.

  8. 😮 HOLY HOOPLA…. VLADIMIR PUTIN HAS BEEN COOLING HIMSELF AFTER 2 YEARS OF GRUELING CONFLICT. THE "NEW" TWISTY CROOKERY OF NATO TO LOOK WELL ABOUT THEIR POSTER BOY / "WAR HERO" WHOM THEY HAD PLACED THEIR BET TO BRING SUCCESS OF REGIME CHANGE IN RUSSIA AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA! DID NOT!! IT TAKES MORE THAN THE MOVIE / REALITY SHOW / GOOD BOY LOOKS TO CREATE "FANS" & GARNER SYMPATHY FOR THE CUTESY DEVILISH JEW WHO WOULD BE "LEADER" YAKNOW, KINDA LIKE THE PLOT OF "MAN WHO WOULD BE KING" AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA! SHEEEZ…. GRAMPA B & THE B TEAM THOUGHT THEY HAD A FOOLPROOF PLAN FOR A PLLAYBOOK, ITS BEEN TRIED & TESTED MANY TIMES! FOR 30 YEARS PUTIN SWALLOWED HARD, TRIED TO PLAY BALL, END UP SMEARED BY WESTERN MEDIA & POLITICAL "DEMOCRACY" CIRCLES AS MAN WHO WANTS "TO RULE THE WORLD" & THEN OF COURSE THE RECENT NARRATIVE OF CHINA & RUSSIA AS THE THREAT / DESIRE TO "TAKE OVER" THE WEST, THE EUROPEAN WORLD, BRING BACK THE GLORY DAYS OF USSR, CHALLENGE NATO & OVERPOWER THE "ALLIANCE" AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! SO NO MATTER HOW YOU PUT IT, THE WEB OF LIES SPUN IS BEING UPHELD BY PROLONGING THE WAR, CMON THE Z OF LENSKY IS A YOUNG DUDE WITH MUCH BRAVADO TO PLAY HIS GIVEN ROLE! THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IS FUNCTIONING! THATS BASIC TO THE "DEMON OF DEMOCRACY" INDEED. GAMES OF POLITICAL MANIPULATION THAT CAUSE TERRIBLE TENSION, DEATH & DESTRUCTION, BUT AS EXPECTED, THE BOOK OF REVELATION HAS "PICTURED" THERE WILL BE SUCH "CHASTISEMENT" & MUCH SUFFERING FOR HUMANITY. SO HERE WE ARE TODAY…. THE WORLD STILL GOING THROUGH A RECKONING OF TRUTH, AS THE AMERICAN LINGGO WOULD SAY IT, "RECKONING" AH! I'D PUT THE SILENT W IN FRONT FOR REMINDER — "WRECK" INDEED. LIKE A WRECKING BALL… COZ POLITICS IS AS POLITICS DOES… THE EVIL THAT MEN DO. THE GANGSTERS IN HIGH PLACES LIKE TO DO FREE SPEECH, ITS A HUMAN RIGHT, BUT THE "SPEECH" IS BUT A POINTLESS "PROVOCATION" AH! THAT WORD! THE CHINESE USE IT TOO, ISN'T THAT CLEAR?! THE HEAVENS IS SHOWCASING THE FOLLY & THERE IS NO COINCIDENCE TO THE LANGUAGE BCOZ COMMUNICATION IS A GIFT FROM GOD. INDEED, THE DIVINE ALMIGHTY CREATOR OF HEAVEN & EARTH IS THE BEST AUTHOR, STORYTELLER, WEAVER OF TRUTH & REALITY, AS THE STORY OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION & HUMAN SOCIETY IS "SHOWING" AH INDEED…. AS THE UNIVERSE IS UNFOLDING AS IT SHOULD. TO THE LOVERS OF "FREE SPEECH" YES, ITS GOOD TO SPEAK FREELY… BUT THERE'S ALSO THE TRUTH ABOUT GODLY WISDOM. WISDOM CAN MORE OFTEN THAN NOT MEAN "KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT" AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA! SO TO THE "COLLECTIVE WEST" & THE GANGSTERS IN HIGH PLACES, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS "NATO" WITH ITS MASTER FROM WASHINGTON PULLING THE STRINGS, MAY GODLY WISDOM LIGHT & GUIDE. IN DESIDERATA THERE'S THIS LINE "GO PLACIDLY AMIDST THE NOISE & HASTE… & REMMBER WHAT PEACE THERE MAY BE IN SILENCE." PEACE… SOMETHING WE ALL WANT BUT LEADERSHIP IN COLLECTIVE WEST DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

  10. I would request putin not to use these weapons on civilians or even innocent solders…. Better they use it on politicians setting in eu and usa

  13. If you add up all the times Russia says they will use nuclear weapons since the beginning of the war. It has to be over a dozen or more. At this point no one believes Russia threats anymore. Either you use it, or dont make threats anymore

  14. Due to the history of Russia with the Huns and Mongols, the Russian culture has developed so that they understand and respect strength (do not read as "fear"). If you show any weakness you are free game, "divide et impera".

    I'm not blaming Russia as that would be hypocritical. Russia plays the global game as USA or China does. However USA is over the Atlantic sea, while Russia is our next door neighbour, who just kicked the door in of another of our neighbours. If I was born in Guatemala, Panama, Nicaragua or Cuba, I would propably write this about USA. No superpower is any better neighbour than the other. They are not our friends.

    We don't want to see any more Finlandization in eastern Europe. In unity there is strength and that's what NATO provides. It makes troop, ammo and equipment dispatch much easier.

  19. This was a response to France and U.K. saying they're going to send NATO troops to Ukraine. Of course a CNN owned channel like WION would omit that vital detail. You make it sound like Russia does things out of the blue.

  20. Not in next 100 years, Nato is only trying to block Russian supremacy on Opec and Oil. Nato don't want middle east to depend on Russia, especially KSA who were slaves of US plans of divide and rule shias and sunnies in middle east.

  23. Like wow, the lives lost with this one man has me blown away all over wanting to be a bully in the playground, thousands and thousands of lives were lost in both countries with this one man causing it all.

  35. NATO did not provoke Russia to use nuclear weapons but rather it is Russia who started this troubles. If the free nations will bow to this threat Russia will again used this blackmail to invade another nation.
