A NUCLEAR world war is now a "real" danger and Britain and Nato would be a "legitimate" target, Russia's foreign minister has warned.
In a chilling message, Sergei Lavrov said the risk of World War Three is now "considerable" and must not be "underestimated".
Lavrov accused Nato forces of "pouring oil on the fire" by supplying arms to Ukrainian troops - and claimed Russia wanted to prevent a nuclear war at all costs.
In an interview with Russian news agencies, he said: "This is our key position on which we base everything. The risks now are considerable.
"I would not want to elevate those risks artificially. Many would like that. The danger is serious, real, And we must not underestimate it."
And the war hawk said Britain and other Nato countries "would be a legitimate target" after "pumping weapons into Ukraine".

They are being tried by jury of peers Some are being found guilty, some are not.
Tell you what...go make yourself a “No War in Ukraine” sign and stand in Red Square.
I will do the same at the Mall in DC.
Get back to me and tell mne how free you were.
Are you referring to Russia or the Good old USA.?? It's getting really hard to tell the difference... :(
British tabloids should be the first target. For the children
If a descent into a nuclear hell is our fate, I hope I get to watch Britain, and all our Neocons, blown to hell before me :)
That reminds me of this Reagan joke:
An American and a Russian get into an argument about their governments.
The American said,”In my country I can walk into the oval office, pound the president’s desk and say, ‘President Reagan, I don’t like the way you are running our country.’”
The Russian said,”I can do that.”
The American said,”You can?”
The Russian said,”Yes, I can go into the Kremlin to the General Secretary’s office, pound his desk and say,’Mr.Gorbachev, I don’t like the way President Reagan is running this country.’”
Putin is pushing war.
“Its been obvious since 2016 that liberal democrats will do/say/claim anything to hold onto power. Are they so desperate as to play the part of provoking a nuclear exchange with Russia?”
Yea the liberal democrats are so desperate, the UK would have woman rape to blame Moscow.
“Moscow has stepped up its blame of the UK, claiming a secret “Psyops” unit operating in Ukraine has carried out war atrocities such as raping woman and bombing children.”
/s We should bring the UK liberal democrats up on War Crimes.
Russia is incredibly good at propaganda they have the bleeding hearts on FR believing Russia. They take people’s hate of the liberal democrats to convince people it is the west fault. Russia sees a division (weak leadership) in the western country and uses it for its propaganda.
Moldova is next for the Russian invasion.
Exactly. Putin and other thugs are embolden by Biden. They wouldn’t dare act up with Trump in the WH.
“Spoken like a blame America leftist. Is this FR or DU?”
Compromise ghost accounts took over by DU/Communist sympathizers. Bunch of bleeding-heart armchair quarterbacks ......... s .....d....
There is no doubt that we are in a kind of war with Russia. It’s called a “limited war.” As to the limits of this war, we currently think we can resupply Ukraine by land, but not by air, and that Russia will not attack the staging areas outside Ukraine.
But, what if the an unlimited war were to break out?
population NATO 947 million, Russia 144 million
GDP NATO $44 trillion, Russia $1.5 trillion
military budget NATO $1 trillion, Russia $60 billion
Russia would have absolute no chance in a conventional war against NATO; so, it would have to go nuclear and hope that a good percentage of its Soviet-era nuclear weapons successfully launch.
We would suffer huge losses. And Russia would be turned into a sheet of glass.
Putin would have to be Hitler-level of evil to initiate nuclear war. Maybe he is that evil. So, he makes the threat on the idea that he’s Hannibal Lector with nukes, to scare the west into submission. And, if this works with Ukraine, this strategy will work with Poland and whatever other country Putin decides to attack.
On the other hand, Russia can withdraw to the pre-invasion borders.
Why take the chance. We don’t have a dog 🐩 n this fight.
It’s long been an opinion (Patton most famously) the USSR/Russia was vastly overrated militarily. The frantic expenditure of resources to obtain such a massive nuclear arm shows they were correct. The true top leaders in Russia knew they were weak and compensated by nuclear weapons.
Patton should have had Ike’s position and later became C in C. If this thing ever goes even tactical nuclear his prediction will have been verified 10 fold:
“ We promised the Europeans freedom. It would be worse than dishonorable not to see they have it. This might mean war with the Russians, but what of it? They have no Air Force anymore , their
gasoline and ammunition supplies are low.I’ve seen their miserable
supply trains;mostly wagons draw by beaten up old hoses or oxen.
I’ll say this ;the Third Army alone with very little help and with
damned few casulaties,could lick what is left of the Russians in six
weeks. You mark my words.Don’t ever forget them. Someday we
will have to fight them and it will take six years and cost us six
million lives.”
That is a very good summary. Is putin crazy enough? Are his supporters that crazy?
There is just a handful of FR Putin Puffers. They all follow script and do as they are told. But it makes you wonder what kind of person would join this cult.
We, the U.S., have problems. We will address our problems in the upcoming elections. We took back Virginia last year, and we will take back the Congress this fall.
What is your plan to address your problem of not seeing the difference between a flawed democracy and a dictatorship?
Very nice post. Wars are very expensive and Russia is a 98 lb weakling compared to NATO. They do know that hence all the huffing and puffing and bluster and bluffing.
Nah, nobody normal cares about Ukraine. Just carry this flag around instead and see what happens.
Your # 13. Salute.
I guess it’s not that many. It’s over a dozen though, and they will pile on and attack but never really respond. Very Soviet of them.
Well, if they insist on stealing our precious bodily fluids - I say “NUKE AWAY”!
