TASS: Putin says new ground-based systems were put on combat duty 

According to the Russian leader, NATO representatives are now giving Russia an ultimatum to comply with the New START (Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms) 

MOSCOW, February 21. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he had signed a week ago a decree on putting new ground-based strategic missile systems on combat duty. 

"The United States and NATO are directly saying that their goal is to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia. Are they going to inspect our defense facilities, including the newest ones, as if nothing had happened? A week ago, for example, I signed a decree on putting new ground-based strategic missile systems on combat duty," he said in his State of the Nation Address to the Federal Assembly on Tuesday. "They're going to stick their nose in there, too," the president continued, "Do they really think we're easily going to let them in there just like that?"

Big things are about to happen in Ukraine. I think the arms supply channels coming from Poland are about to be targeted in the west of the country. This is why Belarus is in full war mode and nukes on standby. Should the us and polish militaries enter Ukraine in response, they might be met with tactical nukes

China won’t let Russia use nukes or all alliances done. Russia would have used them by now otherwise.
