Russian Ambassador's Dire Warning on Nuclear Threats
In a recent interview with Newsweek, Russian Ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, expressed grave concerns about the escalating tensions between Washington and Moscow. He highlighted the dangerous discussions occurring in the U.S. regarding the potential for Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory using long-range Western missiles. Antonov cautioned that such actions could lead to a nuclear catastrophe, emphasizing that even the American military is contemplating the implications of a nuclear conflict.
The Implications of Escalating Military Support for Ukraine
Antonov's comments come as he prepares to leave his post after seven years of service in Washington. He lamented that the ongoing situation in Ukraine is dragging American politicians into a perilous situation with no clear path to resolution. He noted that there are no signs of the U.S. or its allies reconsidering their stance on military support for Ukraine, which includes a steady flow of American weapons. This, he argues, ignores the stark warnings from Russian President Vladimir Putin about the ramifications of such military actions.
Pentagon's Nuclear War Simulations
The ambassador also revealed alarming details about Pentagon exercises that simulate the consequences of nuclear warfare, specifically in relation to agriculture in Eastern Europe. He stated that these simulations echo Cold War-era strategies and reflect a dangerous underestimation of the global impact of nuclear conflict. Antonov warned that the repercussions of a nuclear disaster would not be confined to Europe and Russia, but would inevitably reach the United States, making the need for de-escalation between the two nuclear powers more urgent than ever.
