Putin Threatens 14 US Targets With Nukes- Are Any In New York?

Last week Vladimir Putin gave his Russian State of the Union address and alleged that the United States was getting ready to strike Russian territory. Would Putin attack New York State?

According to The Express, during his State of the Union address Putin claimed NATO and the US are preparing to "strike Russian territory".

“In a message to Western nations who may be considering sending troops into Ukraine, Putin said: "They need to understand we too have weapons that can strike targets on their territory," and threatened a "conflict with the use of nuclear arms and consequently the destruction of civilization".”

He added: "They must realize that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory. All this really threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons and the destruction of civilization. Don't they get that?"

The article goes on to mention that Putin is claiming that his new RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile is ready for the Russian military to use. The Express also provided a map that shows the 14 locations in the US Russia would likely target in a nuclear war.
