The former Republican president took to Truth Social to comment on Putin’s move and slam Joe Biden’s Government.

He said: “Here we go!!! Just as I predicted, now we’re playing with the ‘BIG STUFF.’ The ‘N’ WORD is now being used, front and centre. This situation was caused by us – It’s what happens when you have incompetent people running your government. All I can say to you right now is, PRAY.”

NATO, for its part, called the announcement by Putin “dangerous and irresponsible” but cautioned that it hadn’t seen evidence Russia would actually fire the weapons.

Donald Trump has blamed the Biden Administration for the spectre of nuclear war as explosive rhetoric over Ukraine heats up. Vladimir Putin announced plans to move tactical nuclear weapons into neighbouring Belarus on Sunday drawing condemnation from NATO.

The former Republican president took to Truth Social to comment on Putin’s move and slam Joe Biden’s Government.

NATO, for its part, called the announcement by Putin “dangerous and irresponsible” but cautioned that it hadn’t seen evidence Russia would actually fire the weapons.

“NATO is vigilant, and we are closely monitoring the situation. We have not seen any changes in Russia’s nuclear posture that would lead us to adjust our own,” Oana Lungescu, spokesperson for the defence alliance, said in a tweet.
Putin defended his move which would leave the tactical – or battlefield – weapons a relatively short distance from the war in Ukraine where the Russian army is struggling to breakthrough fierce resistance by Kyiv’s forces.

“The United States has been doing this for decades,” Putin said on Saturday when he announced the plans.

He added: “They deployed their tactical nuclear weapons long ago on the territories of their allies, NATO countries, in Europe.”

The autocrat claimed the storage facility for the tactical nukes would be ready in July. Belarus borders three NATO members: Poland, Latvia and Lithuania.

“Russia’s reference to NATO’s nuclear sharing is totally misleading,” Lungescu said. “NATO allies act with full respect of their international commitments. Russia has consistently broken its arms-control commitments, most recently suspending its participation in the New START Treaty.”

The secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council Oleksiy Danilov said that Russia had taken Belarus as a “nuclear hostage” while the US said it would “monitor the implications” of Putin’s move.

Tactical nuclear weapons are typically smaller than their strategic counterparts which are meant to wipe out cities or large military installations. By contrast, tactical nukes would most likely be used to destroy large formations of soldiers or armour on a battlefield although they would still have a devastating impact if set off in population centres.

Vladimir Putin, as Russia’s President and supreme commander-in-chief over the armed forces, would have the final say over a Russian nuclear launch.

Trump responds to Putin’s warning that nuclear threat ‘not a bluff’

Former President Trump responded Wednesday to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s hinting at being willing to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, saying that the conflict should never have happened and that it could lead to a world war.

Trump said on his social media platform Truth Social that the conflict would not have come to pass if he were still in the Oval Office.

“But as I have made very clear for quite some time, this could now end up being World War III,” he said.

Putin announced earlier on Wednesday in an address to the Russian people that he was calling up about 300,000 reservists to provide reinforcements in Ukraine, where his military has recently been struggling. He accused Western countries of “nuclear blackmail” and threatened to use Russia’s nuclear weapons.

“This is not a bluff. And those who try to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know that the weathervane can turn and point towards them,” Putin said.
The Russian president has repeatedly made threats about using nuclear weapons since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February.

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told ABC’s “Good Morning America” in response to Putin’s comments that the United States was taking Putin’s threat seriously.

Ukraine has retaken control of thousands of square kilometers of its territory as part of a counteroffensive this month.

There are countless reasons why Donald Trump getting reelected in 2024 would be a terrible turn of events for humanity. His predilection for inciting insurrections when things don’t go his way. His belief that he can just buy whatever countries he wants and then throw a hissy fit when informed that, actually, that’s not how any of this works. His insistence that the noise from windmills cause cancer. The malfunctioning wires in his brain that cause him to toss paper towels into a crowd of hurricane victims like he’s working a T-shirt cannon at a basketball game. Truly, we don’t have time to list them all. But probably the number one reason we should fear the guy getting within 1,000 feet of the White House ever again is the nonzero chance that he’ll get us all killed.

In a Monday morning interview with Fox Business’s Stuart Varney, Trump offered that if he was president right now, he’d threaten Vladimir Putin with nuclear war.

“I listened to him constantly using the N-word, that’s the N-word, and he’s constantly using it: the nuclear word,” Trump said describing his talks with the Russian leader, while absolutely bizarrely suggesting “the N-word” refers to “nuclear.” “We say, ’Oh, he’s a nuclear power.’ But we’re a greater nuclear power. We have the greatest submarines in the world, the most powerful machines ever built…. You should say, ‘Look, if you mention that word one more time, we’re going to send them over and we’ll be coasting back and forth, up and down your coast. You can’t let this tragedy continue. You can’t let these, these thousands of people die.”

Most people, even those who did not spend four years receiving top secret briefings, understand that threatening an unpredictable madman—one who doesn’t care how many civilians he needs to kill in order to further his imperial ambitions—with nuclear war, is a horrible idea. Then there’s the fact that Trump, a tactical genius in his own mind, is seemingly telling Putin the location of the U.S.’s nuclear submarines in this fantasy scenario. (Trump has actually done this before. “We never talk about subs!” three Pentagon officials told BuzzFeed News in 2017, after Trump told the president of the Philippines the military had moved a pair of nuclear submarines toward North Korea.)

Of course, this isn‘t the first time Trump has offered a terrible suggestion re: how to stop Russia. Earlier this month, he said during an interview with Sean Hannity that Joe Biden should be boasting about the U.S.’s vast nuclear capabilities, and during a speech before Republican National Committee donors suggested that the U.S. “put the Chinese flag” on its military planes and “bomb the shit” out of the country. “And then we say, China did it, we didn’t do it, China did it, and then they start fighting with each other, and we sit back and watch.”

As a side note, for those of you wondering if Trump’s remarks re: threatening to use nukes means he’s over his favorite dictator, the answer is more than likely not. Just last week, the ex-president refused to call Putin evil or our enemy, despite Hannity practically spoon-feeding him the sound bite. Trump’s love for this man runs deep.
