Russian Politician Suggest Firing Nuke at USA to 'Send a Message'
The longer the world waits to get involved with Ukraine’s battle against the Russian Federation, the more likely there is to be an unholy and unforgivable escalation in the conflict.
The invasion has already been declared genocide, and without much argument from the world at large. Russians are indiscriminately slaughtering civilians, children, and the elderly in Ukraine, even going so far as to bomb maternity hospitals and shoot citizens who are simply waiting in line for bread.
And this sort of demented vision of war goes right to the top in Ukraine, with politicians making some bizarre suggestions in recent days.
A warped Russian politician has called on Vladimir Putin to launch “a ballistic missile” at the Nevada test range in America to “send a message”.
The comment comes from Russian Duma member Yevgeny Alexeyevich Fyodorov, who claims that western nations are acting “on the assumption that Putin has no trump cards in his hand”.
One potential “trump card,” Fyodorov says, could be a nuclear strike on a Nevada test site, which he believes would not see retaliation from the US.
There was no mistaking his intent.
Fyodorov, in an interview translated by MEMRI TV, said: “Until there is a physical demonstration of (Moscow’s) determination, America will perceive the positions of Russia and (Putin) as a bluff.
“So they need a demonstration. The most convincing demonstration would be the physical destruction of America’s Defence Department facilities. I’m talking about facilities, which international law grants us the right to destroy.”
The Russian parliament member also alleged that the missile strikes could hit the laboratories that “develop COVID-19”.
He continued: “For instance, these could be the very same laboratories that develop COVID-19 or we could demonstratively strike the test range in Nevada with a ballistic missile.”
Fyodorov’s bluster may be far bigger than his bite, however, as the Russian military continues to fail miserably in Ukraine, consistently embarrassing the Kremlin.
