Russia Warns Growing Western Strikes
Could Trigger a Nuclear Response
Steven Starr / World BEYOND War Discussion Group

(June 4, 2024) — The three attacks on two different Russian nuclear Early Warning System radar sites signaled to Russia that the US is willing to escalate to the nuclear level. Biden has subsequently authorized military strikes in pre-2014 Russian territory.

As a result, Putin has issued a grave warning that further strikes will result in retaliation against US and NATO targets not restricted to Ukraine. Macgregor states we are in the greatest danger of nuclear war at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

He says the Russians may use tactical nuclear weapons against NATO bases from Finland to Romania to eliminate nuclear-capable F-16s if the Russians see them massing at bases preparing to attack Russia.

The interview includes a video clip and statement by Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, which included:
“We do not rule out additional steps in the sphere of nuclear deterrence, because our command centers and the location of our nuclear forces are within range of American forward-based missiles.”
