So there is the option of our nuclear strike on Ukraine.
Sergey A. Karaganov: Such an option theoretically exists. But I am completely against it. People there have been deceived, but in many ways these are our people. However if we do not change our nuclear doctrine, then NATO can use nuclear weapons against Belarus, which is absolutely unacceptable to us. This is why we should quickly change our outdated, idealistic, and largely carefree doctrine regulating the use of nuclear weapons, which is based on the principles and postulates of the past. And we should also redeploy our armed forces. Some steps are already being made in this regard. Our doctrine states that we can only use nuclear weapons in the event of a mortal threat to our state and statehood.

of the Western elites lost their sense of self-preservation. Their
intellectual level has fallen sharply
– especially in Europe. The
situation is somewhat better in the United States. There seem to exist remnants
of a strategically-minded political class. But obviously they are not running the show. «
Sergey A. Karaganov - May 9, 2024. But we have
already deployed our nuclear weapons in Belarus. It should be used there
long before such a mortal threat arises. The enemy must know that we
are ready to use nuclear weapons in response to any attack on our
territory, including bombing. It is up to the President to make the
final decision. But we need to untie our hands. We must understand that
we and all of Europe are doomed to a long war unless we clearly change
our policy in this area. And we will also be doomed to exhaustion and
maybe even defeat. But most importantly, the world will be doomed to the
Third World War. We must eliminate this threat. This is our national
mission. And secondly, this is the mission of the Russian people as the
savior of humankind, which we always have been.

I understand that there will be no nuclear war with America. They love themselves too much. But anything is possible with Europe, which has completely gone off its rocker. In what order should we hit them? Poland, Germany, Great Britain, and the Czech Republic are obviously the first countries that come to mind. Well, France, too, of course.
I really would not like things to go that way. Yes, we will send them to hell. But by doing so we will pave the way for huge moral losses for ourselves. Nuclear weapons are God’s weapons. It’s a scary choice. But God punished Sodom and Gomorrah, which had got mired in madness and profligacy, with a rain of fire. I pray to God that we do not have to take such a step. But it’s about saving the country and the world. You correctly named Poland and Germany. The Baltic countries and Romania could be next. But, I repeat, God forbid!

Why Romania?
Because a large flow of military cargo goes to Ukraine through them. They have set up training centers. They host a large contingent of American troops [...] We must ultimately make sure that Europe can never threaten us again. Well, someday we will cooperate with some European countries and even be friends with them. We do not reject the best European roots in ourselves, and we will take them with us along our main road to the South and the East, to Greater Eurasia.
What about Great Britain?
It does not pose a direct military threat to us. They just habitually befoul, but that’s all.
