Video Transcript

Russia, and prepare yourselves because this is the global headline, Russia is actively considering the use of nuclear weapons against Europe. Not against Kiev, against Europe. Specifically, the UK and Germany.

Just taking out the UK and Germany with nuclear weapons. That's a fact. Now, we're going to explain why we know that that's true in a moment.

And at the end of this open, we're going to play an interview we did a few hours ago with a man called Sergei Karnagov, who is a longtime political advisor to Vladimir Putin and one of the most famous public intellectuals in Russia, been around for about 35 years, advised Boris Yeltsin, you know, 30 years ago, more than 30 years ago. And in that interview, he says point blank, yes, if the Ukraine war continues at this tempo for a year or two more, we, speaking apparently on behalf of the Russian government, on behalf of his friend Putin, or at least someone who's very familiar with President Putin's thinking, we, Russia, will eliminate the UK and Germany with nuclear weapons. Now, that's a headline.

No one wants to see Qatari gas wellheads blown up. No one wants to see killing of any kind or destruction of any kind. But taking out the two most important countries in Europe, both of which have big American bases, lots of American personnel, of course, international banking, Germany being the economic engine of Europe, London being the banking center of Europe, really of the West, along with New York.

And of course, these are two ancient countries with which we have close ties, history and kinship and genetics. We're going to take them out. We're going to eliminate those countries with nuclear weapons, saying that right into camera.

So that's a pretty big story. Have you read that story? Has anyone mentioned that to you, that the most famous public intellectual in Russia, a close friend of Vladimir Putin's, exactly the same age, the two were born a month apart, have known each other a long time, is saying in public that Russia plans to use nuclear weapons against Western Europe, Russia is going to blow up the UK and Germany if things don't get resolved soon? You probably haven't heard that. It hasn't actually been on the front page of the New York Times.

I don't think the Times of London has mentioned it. No one seems to be paying any attention at all to the biggest story of our lifetimes, potentially. And that's very odd.

weird, gray, murky area here...every nuke superpower games out the use of nukes against...well everyone, it’s what generals do all day, the US does it and I’m sure, 100% sure that Russia does it as well, but will they actually pull the trigger...nobody knows except Pooty Poot and that’s where the game gets really interesting.

“Russia has been rattling its whittle nuclear rattle and it’s annoying.”

“whittle”???

Russia has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world.

Some of you people are so stupid. Nations do have contingencies. But things change and may get serious. France and Germany have already said they are preparing for war with Russia. They must be counting on Russia being a gentleman and allowing them to destroy Russia and Russia will oblige by not vaporizing them.

In the 80s, a Russian satellite mistakenly interpreted a cloud formation over the United States as a missile launch. At that time Russia’s nuclear response was computer programed and a retaliatory launch was begun. A Russian officer violated orders and stopped it with about eight minutes left before an all-out nuclear war.

The Russians removed him promptly and gave him a pension. Evidently they did not know what to do about him. He saved the world but violated their sacred protocol.

That is just one example of how things are in the world.

That’s an interesting thought. If Russia were to hit Germany and the UK with one each, Would we respond by attacking Russia, knowing it would be replied to by nuclear weapons directed at us, completely destroying both countries? I suspect we would not.

Tucker’s kind of gullible. Like Michael Wolff or Kitty Kelley.

Yes, but are the Russians willing to trade Moscow for London, Saint Petersburg for Manchester?

They got to know that’s a possibility, especially Sergei Karaganov,that you can’t nuke another nuclear power and expect no retaliation. The Russians never seem to even acknowledge they have nuclear weapons pointed back at them, too.

Do they have a Golden Dome no one knows about?

The UK has about 200 nuclear weapons and nuclear subs with Poseidon missiles.

They don’t need us to launch back, they could do so on their own.

The Russians have more individual nuclear weapons than the USA, but not by that much. For both countries, most of these are in stockpiles and long term storage. Its the nuclear weapons currently mounted on launch vehicles, in bomb bays and in airfield depots (as these can by loaded and ready quickly) that really count. That number is never discussed, but it is the ready arsenal, and on that count, the USA have more ready to go than the Russians do.

It costs a ton to constantly maintain the warheads in a ready to blow status.

It really doesn’t matter so much, we’d both just be making the rubble bounce.

Since UK has submitted/fallen to the satanic muzzoids, we have another islamic nuclear nation.
