The Russia’s decision to change its nuclear doctrine to contemplate the atomic response to conventional attacks, in response to the Ukraine attacks with long-range missiles Americans authorized by the United States, have increased the expectation regarding the situation in Ukraine: the possibility of the use of nuclear weapons and large-scale conflict is much more than remotebut the threat is present.
Faced with the Ukrainian attacks with American weapons, the Russian Vice President of Security and former President, Dmitri Medvedevassured that “Russia could retaliate with weapons of mass destruction against kyiv and major NATO facilities”. Russian public television, however, has already made its own prediction of what a hypothetical response from Russia to NATO would be like, elevating the conflict to an international scale in what would be a Third World War.
Russian television simulated the response against Europe
According to the simulation published on the state channel Russia-1which dates back to last July, but which social networks have once again put in the focus of public opinion, “it is not difficult to imagine the geography of the Russian response” to increased NATO support (with weapons or troops) in Ukraine.
Thus, state television assures that, in a military response, “all European capitals would be under threat”and points to Russian missiles in Kaliningrad, a small Russian enclave in the Baltic Sea, as the focus of this response.
The explanatory video points to the Baltic countries, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuaniaalready Germany, Austria, France, Polandthe Czech Republic and Romania as targets of that response that includes all US bases in European territory.
“Three missiles and British civilization will collapse”
The news especially points out a answer about UKwhom they point out as the “traditional enemy” in Europeand place it as a hypothetical target for missile attacks from the Kola Peninsula, in the northwestern part of Russia.
In the spotlight would be not only the city of Londonbut also the cities of Manchester and Birminghamkey in the British infrastructure, and the naval and military bases of Devonport, Sheerness, Chatham and Clyth (in Scotland), which Russian state television considers “keys” in a hypothetical British nuclear response. In the words of the presenter of the information himself, “three missiles would be enough” to cause the collapse of British civilization.
