Russian Commander: The next escalation will be nuclear!

Russia is unable to "defeat the NATO bloc" without using #nuclear #weapons, a Russian commander has admitted.

Alexander Khodakovsky, commander of Russian forces in Donetsk, stressed that Russia is fighting against the entire Western world, so the next escalation of the war in #Ukraine " can only be one: nuclear".

"We know our capabilities. We realize the limits of our resources.

If NATO countries exceed certain limits, eg dispatch of Leopard tanks. They are very close to crossing the red line.

Everyone realizes that the next escalation will be nuclear.

We do not have the capabilities to defeat the NATO bloc by conventional means. But we have the nuclear weapons for that.

That's why there is only one option ," said Mr. Khodakovsky.

The Kremlin has not commented on these statements of the Russian commander, but a development shows that Moscow is intensively preparing for such a moment.

#Dhamek #Stupa which is also spelled as Dhamekh and Dhamekha is one of the most famous and #Buddhist #stupas located in #Sarnath near #Varanasi in #UttarPradesh, #India. Originally built in 249 BCE during the reign of king Ashoka of the Maurya Dynasty, this massive and prominent structure has over time gone through several expansions and additions. This solid cylindrical shaped Stupa made of red bricks and stone in its present position stands at a height of 43.6 m with a diameter of 28 m. The significance of this sacred place is that it marks the spot where Lord #Buddha #preached the #first #sermon to His five disciples after attaining #enlightenment in #BodhGaya. #Buddhist pilgrims from around the world visit Sarnath to circumambulate the holy Stupa and worship Lord Buddha. National and international tourists also flock at Sarnath to get a glimpse of Buddhist #architecture and #culture at this significant centre of #Buddhism.
