Putin's 100 megaton weapon is on the move

 At the American Thinker today, Ed Timperlake says The US Navy is taking Vladamir Putin very seriously. Certainly some of the people at Fox News are not taking him seriously. But they need to.

Russian president Vladimir Putin put the world on strategic nuclear alert with an ominous message. He linked his threat to use nuclear weapons with justification of the U.S. ending WWII by bombing Japan with two atomic bombs.

MOSCOW, Sept 30 (Reuters) — Russian President Vladimir Putin said the United States had created a "precedent" by using nuclear weapons against Japan at the end of World War Two, in a speech filled with hostility towards the West delivered from the Kremlin on Friday. Fears of nuclear war have grown since Putin said last week he was "not bluffing" when he said Russia was prepared to use nuclear weapons to defend its territory.

Best take note: if someone is threatening to kill you, believe him — and Putin was building up to putting nuclear weapons front and center even before he invaded Ukraine.

The past is prologue, because he had previously announced in 2019 that his military, specifically his naval submarine force, has essentially developed an operational nuclear doomsday 100-megaton torpedo.

Timperlake points out that the US Navy has stood up the 2nd Fleet, and that fleet is commanded by serious men. But looking at the news, I see that Biden is selling more of our strategic reserve. Hmmmm...don't most of the ships in the 2nd Fleet run on diesel? The 2nd Fleet doesn't do us much good if it is stuck in port.

Gentle readers please go and read Timperlake's post. Oh, and pray for our Navy, especially the men and women serving in the 2nd Fleet as they embark on another Battle of the Atlantic.
