Putin says world faces “most dangerous decade” since WW2 – BBC News



The world faces “probably the most dangerous” decade since the end of World War Two, Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned.

Speaking after a series of military defeats in Ukraine, he sought to justify Russia’s invasion which has left his country internationally isolated.

Mr Putin is also facing growing public anger at home over his drive to mobilise around 300,000 Russians for the Ukraine war effort.

Mr Putin accused the West of nuclear blackmail against Russia. The West has denounced recent veiled nuclear threats by the Kremlin.

The Nato military alliance recently condemned claims by Russia that Ukraine might use a “dirty bomb” – meaning conventional explosives laced with radioactive material.

Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg rejected the suggestion and said “Russia must not use it as a pretext for escalation”.

  1. The Western leaders are the bad guys….And it will come back to haunt them! No matter what ideology/ religion that you believe in….I think it is a universal belief that if an individual does something bad…..That evil will come back to haunt them….Call it Karma, or Divine Punishment or even ‘ what goes around comes around’!

  2. Ignore Putin. He lies more than he doesn't. The free world just needs to stick together and keep doing what's right. Defend innocent people who only want to be free of an authoritarian tyrant.
