So we're just going to take a comedian who is totally under the control of UA Nazis and US financial barons at his word? This is either a blindingly stupid lie, or the US and NATO are preparing for a false flag attack which could well lead to nuclear war. I know they're getting desperate, but we have to hope that they know where the line is.
That's a false dichotomy. Russia has been threatening to use nukes all the time. Threatening to blow up a reactor is just more of the same.
That's simply not true. Russian nuclear policy is exclusively retaliatory. They haven't been making threats, but simply reminding the warmongers of the west that there are lines which must not be crossed. This has been the Russian and Soviet nuclear policy since they developed nuclear weapons technology. The threats are coming from the west, namely the US which does have a first strike policy. The US continues to threaten Russia by stationing nuclear weapons ever closer to Russia's borders. It's almost like nobody knows why the "Cuban" Missile Crisis started.
If anyone in the west would actually listen to Putin and Lavrov instead of putting words in their mouths, we'd all be pretty clear on what second strike nuclear policy means by now, as well as what the Russian objectives are. Instead we're taking obvious western atrocity propaganda at face value and not even bothering to ask the very basic question of who gains by telling this story.
We can only hope this story is "just" WMDs in Iraq or babies in incubators levels of atrocity propaganda myth making, and not Gulf of Tonkin level false flag preparation. Then again the US side has already executed many of their previously prepared false flag attacks in this war. Hopefully the MacArthurs in the room don't win this time.
