A Russian general who wrote the nation’s ‘war bible’ has warned that nuclear war is the inevitable conclusion of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The chilling forecast came from retired Major General Alexander Vladimirov, who authored Russia’s three-volume book called the ‘General Theory of War’.
The veteran commander warned in an interview with journalist Vladislav Shurygin that for the transition to the use of weapons of mass destruction, only one thing was needed, a political decision by the Supreme Commander in Chief Vladimir Putin.
He said that the goals of Russia and the goals of the West were their survival and historical eternity and that this meant that in the name of this, all means of armed struggle available to them would be used, including such a tool as their nuclear weapons.
He warned that he was sure that nuclear weapons would be used in this war, inevitably, and from this neither they nor the enemy would have anywhere to go.
He said the sooner their politicians and leadership realise this, the sooner they start to train troops and the population for this, the more chances they will have for survival, which means victory.
In Vladimirov’s 2013 book, the retired Major General argues that there’s been a transition from the traditional theory of war, where there was a distinction between peace and war, to a permanent state of war which is characterised by constant fear and insecurity.
During his interview, Vladimirov, 78, said training of troops was vital so they have the ability to wage war under the conditions of the use of weapons of mass destruction.
He said that his book has key lessons for Russians.
He said that if you want peace, fight until you win. If you want a long and strong peace, bury the hatchet on the territory of the enemy along with him. He added that they need to be prepared. Prepare the Army, the State, the Economy and the population of the country.
He spoke as Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu declared Russia was imposing a tremendous toll on Ukraine in the war, despite Western support for Kyiv.
He said that from the start of the so-called counteroffensive, the enemy’s losses exceeded 66,000 men and 7,600 ammunition units, and that during the last month, Russia downed 159 (Ukrainian) HIMARS missiles, 13 cruise missiles and over 1,000 drones.
It doesn’t seem as though Russia will ever be a civilised nation, but it seems as if they’re forewarning the US what will happen if they keep interfering in a war that shouldn’t have transpired in the first place.
We should be extremely cautious because if this isn’t a threat and they’re stating an undeniable truth that if NATO continues to escalate things in a war that doesn’t concern them, the unavoidable consequence will be a full nuclear exchange in which everyone dies – this isn’t very difficult to comprehend.
Russia’s nuclear power should have been taken away from them a long time ago because they’ve demonstrated that they’re a threat to the modern world. They’re a superpower that could nuke the world and destroy us all. Vladimir Putin is in a win-win position. He can dangle this nuclear threat over our heads and if he believes he’s failed what he came to do, he will nuke us all anyhow.
It only takes a few devices to annihilate most of human life, and there will be no victors, only losers. Depending on the intensity of the exchange, they could destroy a planet – game over!
