Vladimir Putin has been warned that he would be committing a \u201cterrible sin\u201d by NOT using nuclear weapons in Europe. The astonishing claims were made by Sergei Karaganov, 73, aka Professor Doomsday, honorary chairman of the Russian Council for Foreign and Defence Policy, who claimed that unleashing tactical atomic weapons is the only way to prevent a larger war between the US and Russia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He becomes the latest Putin acolyte and Kremlin commentator to advocate for a nuclear escalation to the conflict in Ukraine<\/a> and the stand-off with Nato. The comments come after an apparent change of stance from US President Donald Trump<\/a> who has indicated that Ukraine could feasibly retake all of its territory<\/a> lost to Putin\u2019s forces. Karaganov said: \u201cThe use of nuclear weapons, in extreme cases, in the most dreadful case, is a terrible sin.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut not using them and condemning your people and the world to a major war is an even greater sin.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is an even more terrible sin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking on Russian state TV, the Russian political scientist reiterated Russian propaganda which often refers to a perceived threat coming from the country\u2019s western border with Nato members.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWe must abandon some of the foolish ideas devised by our predecessors who still say that a nuclear war shouldn’t happen and that it can never be won.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is absolute nonsense. A nuclear war can be won, God forbid it happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must first break the will of the European elites. What I call breaking the back of Europe, in the hope that\u2026.normal, healthy forces can rise again in Europe\u2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cI fear that if we are not prepared to use the most decisive measures, the most terrible weapons.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd do not abandon the complacent notion that a nuclear war cannot be won, we could find ourselves in a very long, attritional war with this still-rich Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd ultimately, God forbid, exhaust our people. And most importantly, we could allow this war to spread to all of humanity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis European contagion must be eradicated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to prepare to strike, or at least make them understand that we are ready.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt won’t necessarily be a nuclear strike\u2026.but we must prepare.<\/p>\n

Prominent TV propagandist Vladimir Solovyov – who advocates nuclear strikes – smirked and laughed as he called on his nightly TV show for Oxford<\/a> and Cambridge<\/a> to be bombed to decimate the British elite and their universities.<\/p>\n

Solovyov used Kremlin-funded state TV to attack Britain\u2019s ruling elite, claiming that the \u201cidiots\u201d in the government and the royal family were not really in charge, but rather a shadowy Establishment.<\/p>\n

He asked: \u201cWho really governs Great Britain?<\/p>\n

\u201cSeriously speaking, we’ve never analysed this issue\u2026.<\/p>\n

“We can’t seriously think that the bunch of idiots who actually hold power there, pretending to be prime ministers, are actually in charge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand perfectly well that the royal family shouldn’t be allowed within cannon shot of feeding the birds.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vladimir Putin has been warned that he would be committing a \u201cterrible sin\u201d by NOT using nuclear weapons…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":448327,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[2821,12,58706,8041,2046,332,7661,150934,150935,333,26],"class_list":{"0":"post-448326","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-nato","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-nuclear-threat","11":"tag-nuclear-weapons","12":"tag-putin","13":"tag-russia","14":"tag-russia-ukraine-war","15":"tag-sergei-karaganov","16":"tag-uk-tensions","17":"tag-vladimir-putin","18":"tag-world"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115260241072340265","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=448326"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448326\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/448327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=448326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=448326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=448326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
