Exclusive Europe will respond to Russia's nuclear strike if it is struck – Latvian Defense Minister

Latvia condemns countries that do not provide Ukraine with military and technical assistance in the fight against Russia. This was stated by Latvian Defense Minister Artis Pabriks in an exclusive interview with the Present Time within the framework of the Riga Conference. He believes that a clear position and assistance to Kiev now will determine alliances and cooperation between European countries in the future.

Pabriks, in particular, accused those countries that do not count on Ukraine's victory in this war of betraying the ideals of the EU and NATO: "Morally, Ukraine has already won, psychologically, it has already won.

Now victory is a technical issue and the question of how quickly other states of the world will understand that the only outcome of this war can be the victory of Ukraine. And we know that not all states, even in Europe, think and say so, but this position of the member states of the European Union and NATO is very close to betrayal," the minister said.

"It's not a bluff." Latvian Defense Minister on the possibility of Putin using nuclear weapons

Commenting on the changing nature of the war, which has shifted from fighting to the destruction of the civilian infrastructure of Ukraine, Pabriks said that this does not change the position of Ukraine's allies. Even if Russia decides to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine, the West will not stop helping it to fight aggression. Pabriks added that European countries would respond to such a possible strike.

Artis Pabriks is taking part in the annual Riga Conference on Security and Foreign Policy, the main topic of which this year was the war in Ukraine. Currently, he is an information partner of the conference and conducts several special broadcasts from this event.

The conference discusses strategic cooperation at the regional and pan-European level, the new strategic concept of NATO, the hybrid threat from Russia and other countries, as well as economic sanctions.

He doesn’t mention what the response would be, just says NATO would continue support.

Is it taught in a Crapville community college?:) WWII in Europe wasn’t won by bombing, and totalitarism in Russia was dismantled by Khruschev in 1956.

These people seemed excited by the prospect of nuclear war, they have lost their minds, no one wins.

Yours is a most interesting reply. The 247newsbulletin notes second-hand information, not a primary source, as it states "Science fiction writer Sergei Lukyanenko commented on the words of journalist and political strategist Anton Krasovsky about the need to 'drown' or 'burn' Ukrainian children who believe that the country is 'occupied by Muscovites'.”

It seems, according to RT itself, that Kraskovsky has been fired. The RT article detailing his firing also states: "Krasovsky first came to international prominence, in the early 2010s, as an LGBT rights activist. During a TV show in 2013, he ‘came out’ live on air, while expressing opposition to Russia's so-called ‘gay propaganda’ law. He blasted both President Vladimir Putin and his predecessor, Dmitry Medvedev, and was lauded by Western media. That led to the journalist writing for The Guardian and featuring in other American and British outlets. Since 2021 Krasovsky, who is HIV positive, has presented a program on RT Russian called ‘Антонимы’ (Antonyms)."

The article title is "RT suspends host after ‘disgusting’ remarks about Ukrainian children," dated 22 October.

While this jackass says horrid things, he doesn't seem to be speaking for the government. In the moment it sounds as if he isn't speaking at all, at least through RT.

What seems certain is that many spokespeople for many Western nations are indeed speaking about other horrid things in this time of war between two non-NATO nations. Such as:

While some wish there to be only two perspectives on this war, pro-Putin and anti-Zelensky or the inverse, another valid perspective remains. Not my circus and not my clowns.

That the war in Ukraine between it and Russia has being made into a proxy war between Russia and NATO as Stoltenberg has clearly stated now, suggests "horrid" will be more than just words by one jackass, of whom it is observed "was lauded by Western media."

Based on the bold-face text above, Kraskovsky and his "own diseased mouth" would be a good fit in the Obama-Biden-Harris administration and its diversity and inclusivity and support for "gender affirming" state-funded transitions and "influencers" and drag queen story hours.

One observes that this was half the story as Freeper Bruce Campbell's Chin observed in the following thread after a Newsweek article.
