Nukes Reported On Route To Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin has reignited fears that he is about to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine following a viral video and a defense analyst's comments.

Could be a feint. Could be munitions.

Either way, Putin is acting like a cornered rat. The generals need to step up and take him out, now.

No nukes in sight.

They need tanks.

And as my army veteran dad pointed out by looking at the image captures from both videos... One looks like the cleaned up the yard AND roof after the first video.
