Uh last time I checked unless you live in South America if a nuke went off in any of the cities you mentioned you're probably going to get some fallout, then get cancer, then die even if you're living in the woods in Montana.
Putin going on high alert with his nukes is troubling, but he has a long history of flexing with hyperbolic threats. That said, the troubling part is that in order for nuclear deterrence theory to be valid, there's a base assumption that everyone with control over nukes is rational and possesses at least a lowest-common-denominator baseline of morals/humanity. Unfortunately, this statement does not necessarily apply to Putin.
So, we have to look to the military leaders around him and the oligarchs to (hopefully) cut the wire between Putin and the nukes if he is, in fact, unhinged from reality.
This is just more of his provocative rhetoric designed to get everybody wound up and focused on something other than whatever he's actually doing.

Слава Україні
Glory to Ukraine!
Living within 50 miles of 60% of the stored weapons, and closer than that to a Trident base... It'll be over before I know about it.
I can't imagine he's stupid enough to think he's going to live more than an hour after giving that order. Whether it's followed or not. I can't imagine he's mad enough to not care. But that's a pretty serious question at this point.
It's understandable why he'd think he'd just roll over Ukraine. Last week everyone seemed to think it'd be over hours after rolling across the border. but, what, 4 days later, they still have power, internet, social media, are sending 100's of videos of destroyed Russian vehicles and planes left on youtube... The only thing the Red Army's really managed to capture and hold is Chernobyl...
At this point, he's probably terrified of NATO deciding to enforce a no fly zone, letting Ukraine's army move at will and really fuck them over. And scaring them with nukes is about the only option he has.
I bet they were like “yeah you can keep that city, congratulations.”
This is surprising. People who oppose Putin haven’t had a long lifespan.
Europe says: eh so he flies off the handle sometimes, at least we still get cheap natural gas, oil and vodka. Meanwhile the Saudis are like "think we can bomb Israel and get away with it?"
Ona REAL news show, Fox News Sunday, Condoleeza Rice was asked about Putin's threat. Her sobering comment was that Putin has descended to a troubling level of irrationality that she has never witnessed before. Putin is 69. He's well into the age of dementia and other disease. Just look at our own senile leaders and least coast members. Putin has also made some distinctly uncharacteristic speeches and outbursts since just before and during the Ukraine invasion. He may have become unhinged. If he absurdly believes that a loss in the invasion of Ukraine is an existential threat to his grip on power, he would order nuclear strikes. His bomber force is no concern to the US. They could never cross Canada, the Atlantic, Pacific, or Gulf of Mexico to reach us without being utterly obliterated. Assume at least 50% of his SLBM force refuses orders to launch, assume that our attack subs knock out at least 25% of what is remaining, and he has 3-4 left. That's NYC, DC, Kitsap WA, and London (probably Brussels, too). However, he may have direct control over at least some of the Russian ICBMs, and their Doomsday Machine is still active. Yes, the USSR and now Russia has a machine which will automatically launch strategic ICBMs in the event of a western nuclear launch. These would be the hypersonic glide vehicles supposedly capable of dodging our anti-missile defenses.
This video lists some of the general strategic targets for nuclear weapons at 2:50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7hOpT0l…. Defense strategists also aim nuclear weapons at population centers for second strike and demoralization attacks. It's frightening, and there is absolutely nothing we can do to stop it. Remember that Putin is an old, hard-line, Soviet-style cold warrior. They openly planned using nuclear weapons in first-strike scenarios against non-nuclear countries.
“Get inside the nearest building to avoid radiation. Brick or concrete are best. Go to the basement or middle of the building. Stay away from the outer walls and roof. Try to maintain a distance of at least six feet between yourself and people who are not part of your household. If possible, wear a mask if you’re sheltering with people who are not a part of your household.”
This is not from a parody website. It’s an official statement directly from your federal government. If nuclear bombs start dropping around you, be sure and socially distance.
This is just baseless speculation. What if Putin knows he has some sort of terminal illness and he doesn’t care about being the villain? He’s already stated he views the collapse of the former Soviet Union was a tragedy. This could be a last ditch effort on the part of a deranged man - who doesn’t have long to live?
I hope there are high ranking folks who can stop him - before he pushes it beyond the point of no return.

Leave some sunflower seeds under these guys in case they make manure.
We don’t need to defeat Russia in an all out war. We’ve already won if we just step back and watch Russia collapse.
Anything someone wants is a mouse click away. Why would they want to fuck that up with war?

There is no predicting how this ends without global coordination. I think we need to contain activities to Ukraine, and take control of airspace in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. But what do I know, even the experts don’t know enough.
I agree.
And I support President Biden.

We need to stop paying attention to Russian threats against us and issue a threat of our own, mainly if the Russians try to draw us into this. they should wake up in a few days with the seventh fleet cruising the Black Sea.

If nuclear war ever starts, it will begin with some unknown mid-level officer fucking something up.
If Russia's nukes are deployed widely, then it is true, this will go nuclear just for someone screwing up.
Cuba was like that. Battlefield Tactical Nukes, called FROGS, deployed and Moscow and Castro authorized commanders to use them. Extremely dangerous.
I am not sure though how we know what was carried on the cruiser Mokava.
