WW3 fears as Russia warns of 'full-scale nuclear war' after NATO threat
World War 3 is coming, and it'll be in the form of a 'full-scale nuclear war,' according to a Kremlin-backed mouthpiece Major General of Aviation Vladimir Popov
War is coming – but on a different level. The threat has come from one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's biggest mouthpieces, responding to claims by Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, head of the NATO Military Committee, who claimed that there are plans to strike Russia in a “more aggressive way” to counter Putin's “hybrid warfare”.
And Military expert, Major General of Aviation Vladimir Popov has immediately hit back in Kremlin-back news outlet Moskovskij Komsomolets. Claiming that NATO's plans could lead to “full-scale nuclear war,” he told MK: “If a military officer makes such statements, it means operational planning is already underway. Because NATO headquarters is engaged in planning operational-strategic missions, not launching, say, a single tactical missile.
“In this case, we could be talking about planning a massive or group strike on Russian territory, for example, using Storm Shadow missiles.
"But we must understand that there will be consequences for any state that uses these missiles. Poland, Romania, or even Germany could theoretically do so. But that would be World War 3.”
He went on to claim that NATO would be “stupid” to attack Russia's Kaliningrad region, but does think that the defensive organisation “is ready” for a pre-emptive strike on the country.
As it stands, NATO has yet to officially launch any form of strike on Russia from any country involved in the group – but that hasn't stopped Russia's rhetoric.
Keeping in mind that MK news is back by the Kremlin and often used as a mouthpiece for Russian President Vladimir Putin, the war expert continued: “Everything is calculated. Our forces and assets can respond far more effectively than those of Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Poland combined. Therefore, the military understands perfectly well that they will find themselves at a disadvantage.
“At the very least, they will have a very difficult time achieving the goals set by their politicians. But in five years, NATO may begin to put more serious pressure on us.
“We must understand that months pass between the announcement and the actual deployment of troops and the formation of operational echelons for an offensive. Our intelligence will see them forming strike units and moving them to, say, the Polish border with Belarus or Kaliningrad. So far, there's no fist that could cross the state border at any moment.
"No, 'hit and run' won't work anymore. Until we give them an adequate response, until they start whining, we won't sit down at the negotiating table."
