Am I the only conservative journalist, of sorts concerned about the world sliding into nuclear war? Looking at the output of the movement, I do not see much concern about this, as everyone keeps in their comfort zone, doing what they normally do. But, a nuclear war would have the inconvenient side-effect of blasting everyone out of that cosy, safe space. Consider: deputy prime minister and head of Putin’s presidential administration, Vyacheslav Volodin, someone who would know what Russia is up to has said: ““If Washington and NATO countries supply weapons that will be used to strike civilian cities and attempt to seize our territories, as they threaten, this will lead to retaliatory measures using more powerful weapons,"
In a Telegram message he warned: “Arguments that the nuclear powers have not previously used weapons of mass destruction in local conflicts are untenable. Because these states did not face a situation where there was a threat to the security of their citizens and the territorial integrity of the country."
He added "Deliveries of offensive weapons to the Kyiv regime will lead to a global catastrophe.”
