'but we will go to heaven while they simply croak'
Russian media has began openly discussing the prospect of global nuclear war Margarita Simonyan, one of Russia's chief propagandists, told viewers last night that nuclear conflict is 'more probable' than the chance of Russia losing the war
'This is a horror to me,' she said, before adding: 'But it is what it is. We will go to heaven while [the West] will simply croak... we're all going to die someday'
Comes after Putin and foreign minister Lavrov also threatened to go nuclear
Vladimir Putin will launch an all-out nuclear war on the West rather than accept defeat in Ukraine, Russia's chief propagandists have declared, in just the latest chilling threat coming from Moscow.
Margarita Simonyan, editor of state broadcaster RT and one of the Kremlin's highest-profile mouthpieces, declared on TV last night that the idea of Putin pressing the red button is 'more probable' than the idea that he will allow Russia to lose the war.
'Either we lose in Ukraine,' she said, 'or the Third World War starts. I think World War Three is more realistic, knowing us, knowing our leader.
'The most incredible outcome, that all this will end with a nuclear strike, seems more probable to me than the other course of events.
'This is to my horror on one hand,' she told a panel of experts shifting nervously in their seats, 'but on the other hand, it is what it is. We will go to heaven, while they will simply croak... We're all going to die someday.'

Putin’s diplomatic corps has been warning the West about continued arming of the Ukraine. Poland is ripe for the kind of strikes Putin has warned. People here think Putin/Russia will not escalate matters by ordering the destruction of a artillery plant or aircraft factory - that destruction will require a new level of firepower unleashed to accomplish destruction.
My only question is whether Russia attacks a few places in one or two countries where the aid comes thru, or if they will destroy the means of production across dozens of sites in a dozen EU states.
I really think that Russia is going to start hitting the means of military production at the same time they hit the foreign military aid.
This is going to cause hundreds of thousands of collateral death to ensure destructive punch to destroy stuff, especially if it is in built up population centers.
“It does not have the same safeguards that we have to prevent their use.”
Lol.
Joe Biden is President.
We would be better off randomly picking someone from a local nursing home and giving them the nuclear authorization codes.
“Oh, the mad fools...”
It sounds like they are trying to scare US. Then again maybe Putin really is crazy.
We’re moving in the direction of Nuclear War - and we’re doing our best to corner Putin - offering him nothing to stop the process.
Lots of joking about this being all bluster and meaningless propaganda. But really- it’s reckless and quite insane to speak of nuclear war in a resigned, even casual, tone.
The power structure in Russia is extremely misguided and freakin dangerous. To everyone.
“And right now Russia is telling the world to brace for nukes. We might want to pay attention”
“Regardless, I strongly recommend being prepared for the the possibility of surviving a limited nuclear war. This means knowing what to do in the first few seconds, minutes, hours, days. And prepping with at least minimal supplies for survival for months.”

These are the 2 wisest comments on this entire thread. Most of the rest are just a bunch of people in denial. Russia is not just going to sit back and watch themselves get defeated in their own backyard, on territory that used to be theirs. Their doctrine specifically calls for escalation, and we are stupid to ignore these threats. We should, instead of pushing them, be working toward a negotiated settlement. Ukraine isn’t worth all of Western Civilization and hundreds of millions of people.
I don’t know how good of a Russian Orthodox she is, but if she has a good priest he would usually warn people against the hazards of spiritual delusion and presumption, even if they are allegedly fighting to “protect” Orthodoxy.
Ukraine’s fight is existential. Given the means, they will fight until they are exterminated by the beasts. Why not? If they surrender, they will be murdered again by the beasts.
The beasts have done it before. Why think illogically that they wouldn’t do it again?
And so, the current chief beast, little vladdie-girl, furious that her victim doesn’t just lay down and let her “soldiers” have their way with Ukrainians before murdering them again, threatens WWIII. Narcissistic, cowardly pile of cockroach feces.
You don’t care yet you complain about it like a harpy? Ordinarily if I don’t care about something, I don’t say anything about it. And why condemn them for reporting factual information to begin with?
The kleptocracy happened after the U.S. installed a drunken Boris Yeltsin in the Kremlin who allowed the country to be looted from both inside and out.
The Russians have never forgiven us for doing that.
Vodka sales must be on the up tick in Russia the people go Putin hunting.
I think you give the US credit for a whole lot more power than it actually has.
who allowed the country to be looted from both inside and out
Then the Russians repeatedly elected Vladimir Putin, who loots the country himself (along with some of his close buddies). A vast improvement.
WHY hasn’t Russian Duma declared war? Why hasn’t Russia mobilized for a large war? Why hasn’t rationing started and a more severe draft? Or is it all just talk? Why not send two or three Million Men to Ukraine? Heck even ten Million men. I don’t think even the best Western Weapons could stop such a horde. Time for Russia to do something or pull out. Time to fish or cut bait!
“It sounds like they are trying to scare US.”

Perhaps, but maybe it is like a rattlesnake shaking its tail. It doesn’t want a fight, but it is getting pissed off and ready for one.l because it feels threatened.
“Then again maybe Putin really is crazy.”

Perhaps that’s true (though I don’t believe that). But if so, how does that help us? Should we be pressing him to the wall if that’s what our leadership believes, especially given that he has 6,000 strategic nukes?
Interesting. It is ironic that the leader of Russia has a Napoleon complex.
The UN Agenda 21/30 and Georgia Guidestones elitists want 95% of the rest of us gone. They and only a half billion serfs will remain if they have their way.
Hunting down and eliminating them would be an act of preemptive self-defense.
I thought about your reply. One factor makes no sense to that claim.
Yeltsin choose Putin, KGB, as his replacement. The KGB was involved with decades long struggles with our intelligence agencies in the Cold War. Quite a bit of evidence shows in fact the KGB infiltrated the USA not the other way around.
This is 1 of a great video series everyone should watch, a former KGB agent talks about his work:
