The Associated Press folks say that Russian President Vladimir (Poochie Pooh) Putin is using Russia’s Nuclear Deterrent Policy to justify Russia’s use of nuclear weapons during a non-nuclear weapons attack.

Ol’ Poochie Pooh there believes that whenever he gets “reliable information” that a Thanos like foe is about to attack Russia, its territories, or its allies then going all nuclear, during a non-nuclear attack, is a good thing to do.

Some of y’all are wondering, “Who is this ‘Thanos like foe’ placing the fear of all the Gods in ol’ Poochie Pooh there?!”

The “Thanos like foe” is none other than the good ol’ U.S. of A. Russia is worried that the United States will use all of her military might, excluding nukes, in order to bend Russia’s allies at her (United States) will.

As evidence of Putin’s concerns, he points to the United States and her friends the Brits, the French, the Germans, the Australians, the Canadians, and the NATOs all trying to help Ukraine wrestle Crimea and Sevastopol out of ol’ Russia’s hands.

There’s also the problem of an arm’s race starting due to the new U.S. president, Donald (Donald John) John Trump Sr., wanting to get a new arms deal with Russia.

    “I know we no longer have the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear
     Forces Treaty. But, we have the New START Treaty that the other
     U.S. president, Obama, and the Russian, Dimitry Medvedev, who
     use to have my job, got. That deal…I like. Besides, I can’t handle
     any more than 1,550 nuclear warheads, and 700 deployed
     missiles and bombers. Gee, it’s so much, I tell you. It was good,
     no. I could handle it. That’s why I wanted extension to the month
     of hearts, February 2021. But, the new guy, with the ‘Donald
     Duck’ wig, he wanted a deal. I don’t do deals, so, yeah. Right,” is
     what Putin be like.

Putin doesn’t have to do deals because he has himself some new toys like the hypersonic weapon, the Avangard, which can fly so fast that it makes the speed of sound look like the turtle in the race.

He also has this underwater drone that he named after the Greek God of Water, Poseidon, which has so much nuclear power that it can cause a tsunami along a coastline.

Putin, though, says he’s no hater and is therefore willing to negotiate limiting Russia’s use of the Avangard and Poseidon if the New START Treaty is extended to the month of hearts, February 2021.
