Russia Will Go Nuke Over Ukraine, Top General Says
The Trends Journal has long warned that the world is at war, but it will not be “official” until the first nuclear flash
Major-General Alexander Vladimirov, who is best known for writing Russia’s so-called “War Bible,” said in an interview that it is just a matter of time before Russian President Vladimir Putin uses nuclear weapons during the Ukraine conflict.
“The goals of Russia and the goals of the West are their survival and historical eternity,” he said in a video posted on the VK social media platform, according to The Daily Mirror. “And this means that in the name of this, all means of armed struggle available to them will be used, including such a tool as their nuclear weapons.”
The author of the “General Theory of War” said, “I am sure that nuclear weapons will be used in this war, inevitably, and from this neither we nor the enemy have anywhere to go. The sooner our politicians and leadership realize this, the sooner we start to train troops and the population for this - the more chances we will have for survival, which means victory.”
ARTILLERY FOR NUCLEAR KNOWHOW?
The Trends Journal has long warned that the world is at war, but it will not be “official” until the first nuclear flash.
LLOYD AUSTIN’S RAYTHEON MAKES BIG BUCKS AMID UKRAINE WAR
Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s national security council, gave a sober assessment of the Ukraine War earlier this summer and said the chance of nuclear war is “quite probable” given the continued Western support for Kyiv.
Would the U.S. respond with a nuclear weapon if Moscow uses a targeted strike on a small city in Eastern Europe?
Medvedev penned a column in the Rossiyskaya Gazeta, a state-owned newspaper, and warned that a nuclear “apocalypse” seems more likely now than any other time in history—even considering the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, Reuters reported.
“I will note one thing that politicians of all stripes do not like to admit: such an Apocalypse is not only possible, but also quite probable,” the report said, citing a Google translation.
Medvedev said you don’t need to be a political genius to know that the conflict in Ukraine will likely span decades, but Russia will achieve its goals, which include preventing Kyiv from joining the NATO alliance.
“Our goal is simple — to eliminate the threat of Ukraine’s membership in NATO. And we will achieve it,” he said.
Igor Korotchenko, editor of the newspaper National Defense, said there should be a discussion about what will determine “the use and permissibility of tactical nuclear weapons what goals and what tactics we will use,” according to Newsweek.
"The most important message we should send to the Americans is that we will not wage war with you in Europe, “In response to your attacks on Russian military or civilian facilities, the first strike will be a preventative limited strike against targets on the territory of the United States of America.”
TRENDPOST: Sergey Karaganov, a chairman at the Council of Foreign and Defense Policy and close ally to Russian President Vladimir Putin, put forth the case for Russia using targeted nuclear strikes in Europe to break the will of the West because the U.S. does not want a nuclear clash with Russia.
The theory is simple: Would the U.S. respond with a nuclear weapon if Moscow uses a targeted strike on a small city in Eastern Europe? Karaganov bets that Washington would not in hopes of preventing a nuclear war.
When Western leaders praise Ukraine’s battlefield gains, they are, in fact, cheering their own demise because Russia will not allow Kyiv to win, and will achieve its goals, or take the world down with it.
The war will continue to escalate, and it would not be surprising to learn that Ukraine developed its own nuclear weapon. In 1992, Kyiv signed the Lisbon Protocol and joined the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1994.
But Oleksii Arestovych, a former adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, said his country has the ability to produce its own nuclear weapons within a short time.
“Who knows where this uranium is just lying around?” he said, according to a Newsweek report. “You just walk and see a barrel of uranium. That’s cool.”
Russia claimed that Ukraine attempted to obtain nuclear weapons before the invasion, which Kyiv denied.
Rafael Grossi, the director general of the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency, said in 2022 that the agency has no “information that there is any deviation of material, any undeclared material or activities leading to the development of nuclear weapons” in Ukraine.
