Russia threatens US with nuclear weapons once again: State Department responds sharply

The aggressor country Russia has been threatening the world with nuclear weapons for a long time. However, the Pentagon has something to say about it.

This is how Vedant Patel, Deputy Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State, reacted to the latest statements by the Russian Foreign Ministry. We are talking about Russia's threats to deploy nuclear-capable missiles.

"Any rhetoric and talk about the use or deployment of nuclear warheads is, of course, a cause for concern. This is something we will continue to pay close attention to. And our Pentagon colleagues can talk about this in more detail," the State Department official said.

He emphasized that nuclear rhetoric is characteristic of the Russian Federation against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine.

"The Russians have been making such statements and beating their chests quite periodically since the beginning of their aggression against Ukraine. I don't want to speculate, but of course we continue to closely monitor (their statements)," Vedant Patel said.

On July 11, the White House announced that the United States would begin sporadic deployment of long-range and hypersonic weapons in Germany for the first time since the Cold War. In turn, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced a "military response to this new game." Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov clarified that Russia could "deploy nuclear-capable missiles."

As reported, earlier, Russian dictator Putin has once again threatened to use nuclear weapons and called on the West "not to take the nuclear doctrine of the aggressor country lightly." The war criminal said that Russia "may use all available means if its sovereignty or territorial integrity is threatened."

In fact, Russia cannot do anything to the civilized world because it is not capable of creating any high-quality new weapons. The occupiers use mostly Soviet weapons, and Russia has never conducted any real nuclear weapons tests. Moreover, the Russians have not practiced real algorithms for the use of nuclear weapons for decades.

Moreover, the occupying country can reduce the time for making a decision on the use of nuclear weapons, as provided for in the official doctrine of the Russian Federation. This can happen if Moscow suddenly thinks that "threats are growing."
