The televised debate is more like a monologue than anything else. Indeed, in front of the cameras, Moscow’s strength is unanimously celebrated for its destructive potential. Thus, between propaganda messages and warnings with an imperialist flavor, the nuclear scenarios are conjured up with an almost frightening ease. On the Russian TV the onesided narrative doesn’t shy away from mentioning it nuclear threat, as Vladimir Putin himself did. So it appears in the program of the popular host Vladimir Solovyov, a man very close to the Kremlin, openly intimidated Europe. Messages of war against “the enemy”.
The words spoken by the political scientist on Russia 1 last Sunday are disturbing and no small matter Sergey Mikheyev, who, under the satisfied gaze of conductor Solovyov, described how Moscow might react in the face of NATO intervention in Ukraine. On the subject, the Russian expert got into a real rage. “Europe needs to know one simple thing, that our only reaction would be there nuclear war in the case of a NATO peacekeeping mission, exclaimed Michejew, while the innkeeper nodded and listened to him. He then urged: “Yes, there will be nuclear war. So, brave Poles, you must know that in just thirty seconds there will be nothing left of Warsaw. The political scientist then addressed the same threat to the Germans, Estonians and peoples of the Baltic States.
Then the geopolitical and military craze continued in favor of the camera. It was actually mentioned Kaliningrad, the port city on the Baltic Sea that is actually a Russian enclave between Poland and Lithuania, and it has been hypothesized that the city could be “reunited” with Russia via a land corridor to be taken by Poland or Lithuania. “Perhaps we should discuss the creation of a corridor for Kaliningrad? Why not…” commented political scientist Sergey Mikheiev. By asking the question and giving the answer. The conclusion is even more compelling: “It seems to me that countries like Poland and Lithuania are too big and don’t realize that we could actually dominate them much faster than we are dealing with Ukraine. corridor would be a ‘military operations local and easier to complete than what we started in Ukraine. “
Yesterday, through Aljazeera, Putin’s closest thinker Aleksandr Dugin publicly threatened that if Russia fails, the world will not exist. Now Putin’s prominent propaganda journalist Vladimir Solovyov again threatened a nuclear war on official television!

Affirmations were heard in front of the Russian television audience, for which the story of Putin’s “special operation” does not allow for any other versions than that of the Moscow political scientist. These statements are worrying because they clearly describe Russia’s domestic political scenario, but they are not surprising. In recent days, the same host Vladimir Solovyov had commented on the conflict, stating: “If you think we’re going to stop in Ukraine, think again. Let me remind you that Ukraine is just a fixed point in ensuring the strategic security of the Russian Federation. . Then the war cry in front of the microphone: “Death to the enemy”.
