Simplicius The Thinker

So, personally, I don’t see a threat of #nuclear-war of any kind just yet. But what I do clearly see are threats of a #lunatically unhinged #Zelensky and his unstable controllers wanting to blow the #ZNPP to cause a nuclear accident in order to #blame it on #Russia and have NATO “step in” in some shape or form. From the point of view of Zelensky and his Frankenstein cretin Budanov, blowing the ZNPP can accomplish any number of perceived strategic positives:
It could create a radioactive exclusion zone which restricts Russia’s Crimean landbridge as illustrated by the earlier-posted map, and additionally irradiate a large area of Russian-controlled territory in order to complicate and hamper Russia’s logistics, lower population morale and generate outrage against the SMO

It could simply muster solidarity between the waffling #NATO members and global countries in general in order to build an even more formidable coalition to #fund and supply #Ukraine ad infinitum

My personal pick: it could force NATO to declare a global emergency ‘civilian evacuation corridor’ which would “require” NATO rapid response “peace keeper forces” to occupy Odessa and/or other regions for the sake of “evacuating radiation-stricken civilians from the Putin regime’s evil nuclear attack”

SITREP 6/21/23: Russia Re-Orients to Kupyansk in Surprise Advance

There’s now somewhat of a lull in the Zaporozhye fighting due to the mass amounts of losses the AFU has taken in their now fully failed bid to achieve tactical breakthroughs. Putin explains: Russian forces of the 429th regiment of the 19th motor...

The United States is kidding itself if it thinks it can fight China and Russia. Yet instead of trying to de-escalate tensions, the United States is acting more belligerent and threatening towards Beijing and Moscow. President Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis, who had been to war, understood the danger of a nuclear war and found a diplomatic solution that kept the peace. President Joe Biden suffers from dementia and does not appear to understand that his bombast and threats are making the world more dangerous.

..., there is another scenario in case if Russia is not defeated, but there is still a need to organise a #revolution there. One of the most effective instruments for such a #coup would be a #military #defeat of #Russia at some remote war theater. If it turns out that it is not possible to achieve such defeat fighting with convential weapons, without the use of nuclear weapons, it turns out that the American theory suggests the possibility of a so-called limited #nuclear-war, when the nuclear weapons … nuclear weapons are used in the territories not directly related to either the territory of Russia, or the US. That is, without risk of a nuclear exchange between our countries, all the way to a general nuclear war. But [instead] fight with tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of some other country. That is, for example, #Ukraine, #Poland, #Germany – nobody in #America cares about a small nuclear war there in order to defeat Russia with the use of nuclear weapons, well, and then it would lead to the overthrow of President #Putin. That’s how #NATO thinks.
