Russian NUCLEAR FORCES on ALERT - New Cold War 2/WW3

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.51pm post the following, " Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the Russian military to put its nuclear forces on "special alert" - the highest level of alert for Russia's Strategic Missile Forces....Speaking to top military officials, including Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, he said Western nations had taken "unfriendly actions" towards Russia and imposed "illegitimate sanctions".  "

Lets Get Real:

One can only hope that Putin is following Nixon's Mad Man Theory, trying to make the WEST very nervous, if not Putin might have just lost it, would he really go for nuclear war over the Ukraine, the more tension he creates the chance of a mistake, one assumes that the US will go to defcon 3, nuclear alert status, just to be on the safe side.  When the Russian economy goes down the toilet on Monday because of the economic sanctions, what will Putin do, will he threaten the use of nuclear weapons if the West does not reverse itself, it has to be a worry.  As for the WEST it has to stand tall, this might be IT, we might have to say to Putin, Go F**** Yourself, we will not be bullied, and its up to him if he wants WORLD WAR 3.  The next few hours and days will be very tense, we have our own Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, when JFK sold out Turkey to get the USSR to remove it nuclear missiles from Cuba and Operation Able Archer of 1983 when the Kremlin thought that a military exercise for NATO was a cover for a real American First Strike, when President Reagan was informed he stated in his diaries that  the USSR had nothing the US wanted and he changed his Cold War rhetoric , and we have Joe Biden as President, God help us, at least we know if it came down to it, Boris Johnson would press the red button, will POTUS? .
