Russia Considers Nuclear Threats Against UK and Germany Amid Ukraine Conflict
Tucker Carlson reported that Russia is contemplating nuclear weapons use against the UK and Germany if the Ukraine war continues. Both countries have nuclear reactors, raising the risk of a meltdown from a nuclear detonation.
Russia updated its nuclear doctrine in November 2024 to allow nuclear responses to non-nuclear attacks. The doctrine targets nations aiding aggressors, including NATO states supporting Ukraine. Russia tested a nuclear-powered missile, the Burevestnik, as part of its military strategy.
The U.S. plans to resume nuclear weapons testing, potentially igniting a superpower arms race. Trade between Russia and former Soviet republics has doubled since 2020, primarily due to re-exports of sanctioned goods. Once sanctions ease, Russia may reduce trade, prompting these nations to seek closer ties with China.
