In terms of nuclear war watch, things do not look good. The US has raised the nuclear bar by sending depleted uranium rounds to the Ukraine, a move that Russia condemned, as such rounds contaminate vast areas of land. Biden has recently said that the threat of Putin unleashing nuclear missiles is real, and that the chances of a nuclear Armageddon are higher today than they were during the Cuban missile crisis. But, F-16s, with nuclear capacity are being sent to the Ukraine and Ukrainian attacks on Crimea using US-made weapons continues. Putin has said: “Direct intervention by NATO’s European armies will not change the outcome. But in this case, the fire of war will engulf the whole of Europe. It looks like the US is ready for that too.” Probably the phrase “fire of war,” is not a metaphor for mere war, but nuclear fire. One would have thought that this situation would have generated some degree of public angst, but even among Australian conservatives, this blog is one of the few sources expressing such concern. People go about their “thing,” their preoccupation, until, they can’t.

“Biden Says Threat of Putin Using Tactical Nukes Is ‘Real’
President Biden warned Monday that the threat of Russian President Vladimir Putin using tactical nuclear weapons is “real.”
The president made the comments to donors during a trip to California. “When I was out here about two years ago saying I worried about the Colorado River drying up, everybody looked at me like I was crazy,” he said, according to Reuters.
“They looked at me like when I said I worry about Putin using tactical nuclear weapons. It’s real,” Biden added.
Biden has previously recognized that the policy of the US and NATO backing Ukraine against Russia risks nuclear war. In October 2022, he said the chances of “nuclear armageddon” were higher than at any point since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
But since warning of nuclear armageddon, Biden has done nothing to ease tensions with Russia and has escalated US involvement in the war, including by giving the green light for European countries to send US-made F-16s to Kyiv.
Biden administration officials have also repeatedly expressed support for Ukrainian attacks on Crimea using US-made weapons, which is a major redline for Russia.
According to a recent report from The New York Times, the administration has “shrugged off” Ukrainian attacks inside Russia as US officials are no longer as concerned about escalation as they were earlier in the war.”
“Russian president Vladimir Putin is now warning the West about military escalations that could lead to nuclear war. As reported by the UK Daily Mail, Putin warns that a Third World War would be catastrophic for the world. “There will be no winners,” he says, “including America.”
Writing at SHTFplan.com, Michael Snyder posts additional comments from Putin that speak directly about the possibility of nuclear strikes against American cities or military bases:
“We were forced to try to end the war that the West started in 2014 by force of arms. And Russia will end this war by force of arms, freeing the entire territory of the former Ukraine from the United States and Ukrainian Nazis. There are no other options,” Putin said.
“The Ukrainian army of the US and NATO will be defeated, no matter what new types of weapons it receives from the West. The more weapons there are, the fewer Ukrainians and what used to be Ukraine will remain.”
And importantly, he emphasized that “Direct intervention by NATO’s European armies will not change the outcome. But in this case, the fire of war will engulf the whole of Europe. It looks like the US is ready for that too.”
This “fire of war” refers to nuclear weapons, and Russia has the world’s most advanced assortment of nuclear missiles, including nuclear-capable hypersonic missiles for which the West has no effective defense.
America keeps poking the bear and begging to be nuked
The issue at hand is that the United States of America — led by raging, hate-filled tyrants and historically illiterate “woke” idiots like Victoria Nuland at the State Dept. — keeps provoking Russia on purpose. The latest provocation is the promise of providing nuclear-capable F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. These combat aircraft would be deployed from military bases outside of Ukraine (Poland, for example) and would attempt to engage Russian forces or launch nuclear missiles against military or infrastructure targets inside Russia.
Putin clearly explains that if the West deploys F-16s from military bases outside of Ukraine, Russia will consider those military bases to be legitimate targets for annihilation, most likely using nuclear weapons.
Yet launching nuclear weapons at European military bases would likely lead to European countries launching their own nuclear missiles aimed at Russia. As those are launched, Russia would almost certainly launch its entire nuclear arsenal at targets in Europe and the United States, resulting in the near-total nuclear annihilation of the West.
Russia itself, meanwhile, has air defense systems that can bring down some portion of incoming ICBMs. In addition, Russia has nuclear fallout bunkers spread across its cities, allowing a high survival rate even if nuclear detonations occur. America, on the other hand, has virtually no nuclear preparedness and would be instantly plunged into anarchy and collapse in the aftermath of nuclear strikes.
Additionally, thanks to stimulus money and the welfare state, the American masses are fat, lazy and stupid. In contrast, thanks to years of economic sanctions, the Russian people are adaptive, resilient and resourceful. Which population do you think will fare better in the aftermath of a nuclear exchange?
On top of all this, Russia has its Poseidon nuclear-armed underwater drones parked off the coastlines of both the USA and Britain. With a single command, these drones will detonate 100 megaton nuclear warheads, unleashing a tidal wave of radioactive ocean water that inundates the coast and wipes out ports, cities and naval bases. There is no defense against that. None whatsoever. And America’s most important cities, ports and naval bases are, of course, located near the East Coast.
Yet, astonishingly, the USA doesn’t want to negotiate peace with Russia. Nor does Zelensky, a tyrannical puppet of the Biden regime. Besides, Russia has already learned that it’s pointless trying to negotiate with people who are insane and stupid, which is exactly what now characterizes the “leadership” of both the USA and NATO countries. They are all steeped in child mutilations, election rigging and the trans cult, proving to be completely dissociated from reality and utterly oblivious to the real laws of cause and effect, economics, war, nuclear weapons, currencies, supply chains and more. Sadly, the leaders currently running the show were never elected by the American people. They achieved their positions of power through fraud, psyops, propaganda and cheating. Yet those tactics won’t work against Russia, even though the West knows nothing else to try.
Russian influencers call for deploying nuclear weapons to SAVE the world from the West
Making matters even more dangerous, multiple influencers in Russia are calling for nuclear strikes against NATO and the USA in order to save the world. Here’s an article authored by Professor Sergey Karaganov, honorary chairman of Russia’s Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, and academic supervisor at the School of International Economics and Foreign Affairs Higher School of Economics (HSE) in Moscow: Sergey Karaganov: By using its nuclear weapons, Russia could save humanity from a global catastrophe. (RT.com)
The article argues that leaders of the USA and NATO countries have lost their minds (which is true) and must be shocked back to their senses using nuclear weapons (which would be catastrophic for the world). From the article by Karaganov:
But what if the present Western leaders refuse to back down? Perhaps they have lost all sense of self-preservation? Then we will have to hit a group of targets in a number of countries to bring those who have lost their senses back to their senses.
Failure to nuke the USA and NATO, argues Karaganov, will lead to the end of human civilization on planet Earth:
It’s a morally frightening choice – we would be using God’s weapon and condemning ourselves to great spiritual loss. But if this is not done, not only may Russia perish, but most likely the whole of human civilization will end.
Given the suicidal tendencies of Western European globalists who are running a bioweapons depopulation agenda on the planet, Karaganov may have a point, even if his conclusions point to a dangerous end game. But the fact that he is arguing for a limited number of nuclear strikes on numerous western cities as a kind of “warning shot” should be alarming to anyone paying attention. If Putin shares this view, then he may indeed launch such weapons with the justification that doing so is the only effective way to defend Russia against the West.
Prepare for U.S. cities to burn.”
