President Joe Biden said on Monday the threat of Russian President Vladimir Putin using tactical nuclear weapons is "real", days after denouncing Russia's deployment of such weapons in Belarus. On Saturday, Biden called Putin's announcement that Russia had deployed its first tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus "absolutely irresponsible".

      Are they really losing? Looking at the map it seems like they control 2x territory compared to pre-2022. And they just recently took Bakhmut.

        They’re fielding T-55 tanks. Your explanation for that (which is suspect) is that they are being used for troop transport.

        Why would a winning army be using tanks first made in 1958 and last made in 1962 as troop transport instead of modern present day BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles or modern BTR-80 vehicles?

          The user is straight up a Russian troll. His name is fucking ArtemZ for fucks sakes.

          Report for disinformation and don’t engage. You can’t argue putins talking points because they’re completely unhinged and not rooted in reality.
