Just post the transcript of the full speech, it was not hard to find it:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-24/full-tran...

Here's the relevant part (interpret this as you will):

"I would now like to say something very important for those who may be tempted to interfere in these developments from the outside. No matter who tries to stand in our way or all the more so create threats for our country and our people, they must know that Russia will respond immediately, and the consequences will be such as you have never seen in your entire history. No matter how the events unfold, we are ready. All the necessary decisions in this regard have been taken. I hope that my words will be heard."



Please highlight the word nuclear in that transcript.


What "consequences ... such as you have never seen in your entire history" are you imagining he's referencing? Threats can be clear without using the very specific wording you're demanding.


There isn't one. I am not the person who was claiming there was, if that's what you're implying.

Some people think that his words imply nuclear, but as it's not directly mentioned, that's just one interpretation.

If you ask me, I think that means just some secret weapon pointed directly at whoever Putin believes may interfere... but no one really knows.


You quoted the "wrong" part of the speech. Here it is, I highlighted for you:

> As for military affairs, even after the dissolution of the USSR and losing a considerable part of its capabilities, today’s Russia remains one of the most powerful NUCLEAR states. Moreover, it has a certain advantage in several cutting-edge weapons. In this context, there should be no doubt for anyone that any potential aggressor will face defeat and ominous consequences should it directly attack our country.
