Russia assessed the level of nuclear threat in Europe

The level of nuclear threat today is high, and it is associated primarily with the low level of education and competence of Western politicians, said State Duma deputy Alexei Zhuravlev. In a conversation with Lenta.ru, he emphasized that current leaders do not understand the dangers of a nuclear explosion and act like children playing with a bomb.

“The level of nuclear threat now is very probable, and this is primarily due to the level of education and competence of those who came to power in the West. Previously, during the Cold War, American and European policymakers were well aware of what escalation in this industry could lead to. The current ones seem to have succeeded only and exclusively in public rhetoric. They don’t have the slightest idea what a nuclear charge is or what such an explosion threatens the entire continent. That’s why they play like soldiers, throwing bombs in their hands every now and then,” Zhuravlev said.

According to the deputy, Washington is provoking Western politicians.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a plenary meeting of the Valdai international discussion club, warned that in the event of an attack on Kaliningrad, the entire Russian arsenal of weapons would be used.
