This now includes threats to Israel as well as to things that concern Jews still living in Russia.
In two prior articles on Arutz Sheva I wrote about the "The Russian Nuclear Headache" (Apr 28, 2022) and "The Russian Nuclear Drumbeat Grows Louder" (Jun 2, 2022) but Russian threats are often couched in such a way that even when not talking about the nuclear option, the underlying premise from the Russian point of view is that its opponents must understand that Russia is a world nuclear super power with a willingness to use its vaunted nuclear arsenal. The Russians assume that this automatically scares and frightens anyone listening to their various types of threats, that everyone sees the world the way they do, but they do not grasp that outsiders are not as paranoid and xenophobic as they are.
Here is a small sampling of some of those Russian threats, nuclear and otherwise, that have surfaced in the last couple of weeks:
* Putin ally warns US, Russia could start military fight over Alaska. (7/6/22)
* Russia to send Belarus nuclear-capable missiles within months. (6/25/22)
* Russia threatens 'Doomsday' if Ukraine attacks Crimea. (7/17/22)
* What if Russia uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine? (6/20/22)
* Putin ally warns WW III is coming unless West stops weapons supply. (5/23/22)
* Vladimir Putin's 'Iron Doll' threatens nuclear strikes on London and Washington. (6/29/22)
* Russia warns humanity at risk if West seeks to punish it over Ukraine. (7/7/22)
* Russia issues thinly veiled threat at Moldova after EU membership decision. (6/24/22)
* Russia will go all the way to Warsaw if US arms Ukraine more. (7/13/22)
* Russia's hostile measures in Europe, understanding the threat. (RAND)
Of course Russia continues to press hard on Ukraine as it wages a relentless, grim, near-total war on it without regard to its own casualties and tons of lost materiel and fighting vehicles. Some estimates even say that Russia has strategically lost its war in Ukraine and that Russia will soon exhaust its combat capabilities, but nevertheless Russia fights on as if there is no deadline to this war. In that vein, Russia has raised its threat level against Ukraine as it ramps up its fighting forces:
* Russia threatens 'Judgement Day' response to any attack on Crimea. (7/17/22)
* Russia threatens broad Ukraine offensive. (7/10/22)
* Putin threatens new targets if Ukraine gets longer-range rockets; missiles hit Kyiv. (6/5/22)
* Russia signals a more aggressive phase of combat. (7/18/22)
* No respite for Ukrainian civilians despite pause in Russia's advance. (7/11/22)
* Russia is preparing for the next stage of its offensive in Ukraine. (7/17/22) READ MORE
