WATCH: Russia To Deploy Nuclear Strike On U.S. Soil?

The idea of a major power using nuclear weapons was thought virtually impossible in the modern age.

That is until the brilliant minds in the Biden administration usurped the Executive Branch and entered into a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine.

Now that the conflict has been raging for more than 7 months and hundreds of billions in U.S. foreign aid has been squandered in the Eastern European region, Russian officials, media personalities, and strategists are calling for nuclear strikes.

Not nuclear strikes in Ukraine, no. Nuclear strikes on U.S. soil. Igor Korotchenko recently made these comments on Russian state television:

Attention, United States!

Gerashchenko continued: “Russia is going to fortify its north-western borders. Due to Finland and Sweden joining NATO, according to Russian propagandists, Russia is planning to start mass construction of nuclear submarines.”

Newsweek was the only major news outlet to cover these extremely alarming comments made on state-sanctioned Russian television:

“The most important message we should send to the Americans is that we will not wage war with you in Europe,” he said in a clip subsequently posted on X (formerly Twitter) by Ukrainian internal affairs adviser Anton Gerashchenko.

“In response to your attacks on Russian military or civilian facilities, the first strike will be a preventative limited strike against targets on the territory of the United States of America, ” he told the anchor of 60 Minutes, Yevgeny Popov.

Last year, BBC journalist Francis Scarr shared similar comments from Korotchenko: “The time has come for us to hold drills for practising scenarios in which Russian tactical nuclear weapons are used… We will soon be issued with a direct nuclear ultimatum from NATO.”

They're talking about tactical nukes on Russian state TV again

Senator Mike Lee highlights the serious nature of the comments made by Korotchenko on Russian national television.

“When a nuclear-armed adversary threatens to nuke us, we should be concerned. This is just one of many reasons why I insist that, if we’re not prepared to go to war with Russia, we have no business funding a proxy war against Russia,” said Lee.

Russia Today presented similar rhetoric from other Russian officials and pundits:

In recent years, Russia has begun to strengthen its nuclear deterrent, but the steps taken so far are woefully inadequate.

We, too, became complacent at some point, following Western theories and recklessly overestimating the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons, which the West is now exploiting, and not by accident either.

The little bureaucrats there keep saying: no, the Russians will never use nuclear weapons.

I hope we never use nuclear weapons, but the fact that we refuse to allow their use in all situations except in the case of mortal danger to the state itself seems to me to be reckless.
