«Breaking News» Vladimir Putin warns of global nuclear catastrophe

Vladimir Putin has warned of 'the end of civilization' if the US lowers its threshold for using nuclear weapons.    

US nuclear weapons policy justifies their use in 'extreme circumstances' such as a nuclear attack on the US or an ally.

But this year the Pentagon completed initial draft plans for several emerging low-yield sea-launched nuclear weapons, raising fears they may be used as standard weapons in battle.

Putin fears this will lower the threshold for using weapons of mass destruction and could lead to disaster. 

Vladimir Putin has warned of 'the end of civilization' if the US lowers its threshold for using nuclear weapons

Speaking at his annual news conference in Moscow on Thursday, he said: 'They want to make small-scale nuclear weapons in order to use them tactically. But lowering the threshold might lead to a global nuclear catastrophe.' 

Putin also said the US is pondering the use of non-nuclear ballistic missiles, saying such a missile could be mistaken for a nuclear-tipped one and trigger a global catastrophe. 

'If, God forbid, something like that were to happen, it would lead to the end of all civilisation and maybe also the planet,' he said. 

Indirectly referencing Donald Trump's administration, he added: 'These are serious questions and it's a real shame that there's a tendency to underestimate them.'

In 2021, a treaty between the US and Russia that reduces their nuclear arsenals will expire and there are currently no talks on re-signing it.

Putin said: 'The international arms-control system is effectively breaking down now.'

In an indirect question to Donald Trump, he added: 'Not interested? Don't need it? Well, alright then. We’ll survive with that, we will ensure our security. We know how to do that.'    

Putin also pointed at the US intention to withdraw from the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty.

He said that if the US puts intermediate-range missiles in Europe, Russia will be forced to take countermeasures.

'[The US] took another step, they left the (Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces) Treaty.'

Put said that by reacting to this by increasing defences, he is not trying to gain an advantage, but 'aiming to retain balance and to provide for our own safety.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
