🎧 Tactical Nuclear Weapons
Latest Podcast Episodes 🎧 • 29m
In a scathing attack on the West, Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared the world faces its most dangerous decade since WW2 - having reaffirmed that Russia will use every available weapon in its arsenal, including tactical nuclear weapons.
