“I would like to remind those who make such statements regarding Russia that our country has different types of weapons as well, and some of them are more modern than the weapons NATO countries have. In the event of a threat to the territorial integrity of our country and to defend Russia and our people, we will certainly make use of all weapon systems available to us. "

Interesting how everyone seems to be assuming Putin is talking only about nuclear weapons. There is material out there on the Internet for those who are inclined to search that talks credibly about weapons the russians have been developing for decades which make nuclear weapons obsolete. While tactical nuclear devices might still play a role on the next generation battlefield I don't think WW3 will be a nuclear war. However, that doesn't mean the devastation will be any less complete. Perhaps that's what this world needs at this stage as the most effective cleansing. When humanity will be faced with hopelessness - at the precipice, that is - perhaps it will find the will to change.
