Putin Threatens Turkey With Nuclear War According to recent reports, United States investigative journalist Robert Parry is reporting that the Russian government has warned Erdogan that they will deploy nuclear weapons if Turkey harms Russias Syrian strike force. A source close to Russian President Vladimir Putin told me that the Russians have warned Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that Moscow is prepared to use tactical nuclear weapons if necessary to save their troops in the face of a Turkish-Saudi onslaught, Parry argued. Since Turkey is a member of NATO, any such conflict could quickly escalate into a full-scale nuclear confrontation, he concluded. Since that statement was made, Putin has received warnings from world leaders claiming that Russia will be held liable for any attacks by his military. What do you think? Is Putins threat justified or did he take things too far?
