According to Lieutenant-General Alexander Sollfrank, head of NATO's logistics command, NATO is now preparing for an all-out war with Russia, which will be World War III. General Sollfrank has said that NATO is developing mass evacuation and rescue strategies to deal with the coming war. As well, NATO has recently launched its largest military exercise since the end of the Cold War, Steadfast Defender 2024,which has involved 90,000 troops from NATO nations. Civil defence strategies are being put into place, something Russia has long had.
However, as Natural News.com has covered, the Russians will see this as getting ready for an imminent attack which will pose an existential threat to Russia, and under the revised nuclear attack policies, justify a nuclear strike:
"The continued Western provocation of Moscow via Ukraine will eventually force Vladimir Putin to use tactical nuclear weapons against Western targets, according to former Putin advisor and political analyst Sergei Markov.
In a recent interview with Times Radio (United Kingdom), Markov worried out loud about the endgame of all this tension and escalation as the West keeps on poking the bear despite repeated warnings that these provocations will not go unpunished.
"You want to target your rocket missiles to Russian cities, to kill our people, and you, Great Britain, are going to do it. And you think we will keep silent?" Markov said.
In the event that Ukraine uses Shadow Storm missiles inside Russia, Moscow will have no choice but to launch tactical nuclear weapons on NATO airfields in Ukraine, as well as on British territory.
"You want to have war? Go ahead," he added.
It's only a matter of time
Moscow has thus far shown incredible restraint in the face of Western aggression, but things can only go so far before Putin has to respond with something formidable to let the West know that it is not playing around.
When asked if he sees a tactical nuclear strike happening soon, Markov responded in the affirmative. He revealed that many Russian experts now agree that Moscow has no choice but to take this kind of action, particularly against NATO airfields.
As for the possibility of Moscow striking British territories, Markov responded that this could happen "eventually" depending on how Ukraine uses its Western-supplied weapons moving forward.
"British missiles may be used from F-16s, but F-16 bases are not in Ukraine – they are based in the Romanian and Polish airfields," Markov explained. "Possibly, the Russian army will have to give a real strike to those F-16s, which are on the Romania and Polish airfields."
Russia is still open to peace talks, should the West want to play ball. Certain conditions will need to be met, though, including the democratization of Ukraine and the removal of the "Kyiv regime," which at the current time is run by corrupt actor … Volodymyr Zelensky.
"Ukraine could be independent like Switzerland," Markov proposed as one possible option."
