Ukraine Defence Minister: Russians threaten nuclear attack.
2014-09-02
[Newsweek] Kiev has received threats of nuclear retaliation from Russia through unofficial channels if it continues to fight pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine, the Ukrainian Minister of Defence, Valeriy Heletey, announced on his Facebook page on Monday.

“The Russian side has threatened on several occasions across unofficial channels that, in the case of continued resistance they are ready to use a tactical nuclear weapon against us,” Heletey’s statement reads.

The minister goes on to say that Russia’s “hybrid war” in Ukraine is at an end, accusing the Kremlin of attempting a “full-scale invasion”. Heletey called for all Ukrainian forces to “consolidate” and “begin building defences against Russia,” insisting today “the operation to liberate the Eastern Ukraine against terrorism is complete”.
Go ahead, don't talk about it! Lite the fuse and see what happens you SOB's.

#2  Gee, I wonder if the Chinese are going to back the Russian claim to Khazakhstan and Kazakhstan's resources so that the Russians can sell Kazakhstan's oil at way above the price the Chinese could just steal it from Kazakhstan themselves.
