There is a great deal of propaganda circulating in the Anglo-American media, trying to paint Russian nuclear war warnings as nothing more than an effort to reduce U.S. support for the Kiev regime. “As Vladimir Putin pledges to retaliate against Ukraine for last weekend’s unprecedented drone attack, Kremlin advisers and figures around Donald Trump have told the U.S. president that the risk of a nuclear confrontation is growing, in an attempt to pressure him to further reduce U.S. support for Ukraine,” The Guardian asserted yesterday in a report published following the earlier phone call of President Donald Trump with Russian President Vladimir Putin that day.
“Those skeptical of U.S. support for Ukraine are seizing on the risks of a nuclear confrontation to argue that the conflict could possibly spin out of control,” The Guardian says. “MAGA (Make America Great Again) influencers such as Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk have openly condemned the drone attack, with Bannon likening the strike to Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor and Kirk writing: ‘Most people aren’t paying attention, but we’re closer to nuclear war than we’ve been since this began in 2022.’” The Guardian laments that even “more centrist” advisors like Keith Kellogg, Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine, are taking up this clarion call.
By taking this tack, The Guardian is echoing the Kiev regime’s notorious Center for Countering Disinformation. “Now all the talk about the nuclear threat in the West in the media is beneficial only to Russia. Because nuclear horror stories are part of the fear propaganda they have always used to scare Western societies to achieve their goals without war,” said CCD head Andriy Kovalenko, RBC Ukraine reported yesterday. He claimed that the theoretical desire of Russia to launch a nuclear strike would harm it more. The whole world is against using nuclear weapons, and the Russian economy is based only on energy resources, which are still being bought from it, Kovalenko argues. “I think that we should not help the Russians in propagating fear of nuclear weapons for the sake of media traffic. Calm down,” he said.
