Russian state TV has said the possibility of nuclear war is more likely than Vladimir Putin losing the conflict he started in Ukraine.
Margarita Simonyan, editor of broadcaster RT and one of the most highly paid Kremlin mouthpieces, made the chilling prediction last night.
Speaking with a panel of nervous looking experts on TV, she said: ‘Either we lose in Ukraine, 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. 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.’
It follows other threats of nuclear war from fellow propagandist Vladimir Solovyov, foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, and Putin himself over the past few days.
The US and UK have dismissed such rhetoric as sabre rattling, but the increasing frequency offers a bleak outlook of how the world is being shaped by Ukraine’s invasion.
Britain’s Foreign Secretary Liz Truss believes the conflict would drag on for 10 years – branding Putin a ‘desperate rogue operator’.
It comes after Russia announced plans to deploy its ultra advanced RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental missile – nicknamed ‘Satan II’ in the West.
The weapon is capable of carrying 10 to 15 nuclear warheads, can fly more than 11,000 miles and can target multiple locations at once.
It is said to be 3,000 times as powerful as the bomb that wiped out Hiroshima and was successfully tested by Russia last week.
Pro-Kremlin TV anchor Vladimir Solovyov threatened that the weapon would be capable of wiping out the UK.
Claiming the country had been ‘totally boorish’ in its support of Ukraine, he said: ‘As it turned out, one Sarmat means minus one Great Britain.’
This week Putin said his response to anyone who ‘threatens’ Russia will be ‘lightning-fast’ and deadly.
He told politicians in St Petersburg: ‘If someone intends to interfere in what is going on from the outside, they must know that constitutes an unacceptable strategic threat to Russia.
‘We have all the weapons we need for this. No one else can brag about these weapons, and we won’t brag about them. But we will use them.’
Although Putin did not mention nuclear weapons directly, it is likely he was referring to the Sarmat missile.
It came after video emerged showing Putin’s hand shaking uncontrollably, sparking fresh speculation about his ailing health.

Problem is, that there is a long wait time for many new vehicles. A friend told me he has to wait 6 months to get the Toyota he ordered. The nuclear war will occur before that!
Instant gratification if you carjack the car of your desire - that's what the homeboys in the hood are doing.
Good idea!
I don’t trust Biden to retaliate.
Seems like a rerun of my childhood, dunk and cover with Burt the turtle.

Ok, who has all the Far Side cartoons about nuclear war?
MAXINE WATERS also.
Oh noes! The orcs are sabre rattling! We better just hide under our blankies and give them anything the want! The peaceniks of the 1980s were right! Better red than dead! Give the bully the lunch money!
The real world is no place for pussies.
I’d rather be dead than having Putin, his orcs, and his faggot symps in this country calling the shots.
Instead, you have Obama, his orcs, and his faggot symps in this country calling the shots.
Reagan would trash talk them right back, dare them to do it.
They always put the doomsday clock at 1 minute to midnight whenever a Republican so much as mentions nukes.
I would be willing to bet should we send our missile towards Russia China with launch theirs at us. You really don’t seem to understand what’s going on here, do US has no friends no country that’s friends or wants to be friends with disrespected, bullied, and manipulated every single country in the world.
I am looking at the situation not with Russian propaganda but I’m looking at it from a position of humility that’s the only way you can honestly see what our country has become.
You first.
