SCOTT RITTER: That if there's a nuclear war in Europe, the United States will be hit.

I'm telling you right now, the Russian Doctrine is clear: if a nuclear weapon of any size is detonated on Russian soil, Russia will respond with the totality of its nuclear capabilities.  --Scott Ritter, Former UN Weapons Inspector

The Kremlin has made adjustments to its nuclear doctrine.  

In the U.S., we speak of potential conflict with Russia. 

That if there's a nuclear war in Europe, the United States will be hit.  Russia will not only hurt the US, but if Russia makes the decision to strike it will be a killing strike, designed to destroy America's nuclear force before it launches to minimize America's retaliatory capacity.  This is what Russia will do.  I hope people will take a look at the maps when 150 to 300 megaton warheads, or kiloton warheads land on American cities, the spread of the radiation, how long contamination will be . . . .   Guys, it's over.  Game, set, match, humanity is gone.  The Russians aren't playing around.  They understand the seriousness of this and they are not going to sit back and allow the United States to play stupid games that put the existential survival of Russia at risk.  If you think Russia is going to let the United States put a standoff strike weapon American-made, an American F-16, and pilot it with Ukrainian and, you know, have these weapons be launched against Moscow or St Petersburg, you're insane.  Russia will know exactly where that attack came from, from the United States, and the United States will pay the price.  This is why I say we are on the edge, on the edge of the abyss, and we are closer to nuclear war than we have ever been.  Look at the Biden Administration.  How have they responded to this?  They've issued a new Nuclear Employment Guidance.  This is the war plan which will make it even easier for the United States to use nuclear weapons.  So we are front-loading any potential crisis with Russia with a nuclear employment strategy that's contingent upon limiting the conflict to Europe.  This is why we have a low-yield nuclear weapon the W76-2, so that we can send a signal to Russia.  I'm telling you right now, the Russian Doctrine is clear: if a nuclear weapon of any size is detonated on Russian soil, Russia will respond with the totality of its nuclear capabilities.  That's not me saying this, this is Vladimir Putin saying this.  That's what Lavrov is trying to remind us of: play with fire, and you will get burned.  But ladies and gentlemen, this isn't going to be the burning of the fingers.  This is going to be the burning of your entire neighborhood, of your entire city, of our entire nation.  

Thanks to Judge Andrew Napolitano.

We reached the final step on the escalation ladder. The Pentagon gave Ukraine permission to strike targets deep inside of Russia with ATACMS missiles. They can only be operated with US satellite targeting assistance.

“Washington is now a direct party to the war.” Moscow says.

RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTER, SERGEY LAVROV: Israel should not think that the suffering of Jews during World War II gives it free rein in foreign policy, particularly when it comes to the hostilities in Gaza, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.

🔴 Based Lavrov is back: Soviet people were also subject to Nazi #genocide, but Russia doesn’t have carte blanche in the global arena...

Lavrov: ‘Holocaust Doesn’t Give Israel Impunity’   https://t.co/aNllzk3OHz

The foreign minister noted that Russia had immediately condemned the attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7. However, after the hostilities began, some Israeli officials went so far as to call the residents of Gaza “animals” without facing any backlash from the West, he added.

Israelis can’t… now do anything they want because they suffered during World War II. Yes, there was the Holocaust, it was a terrible crime, but there was also the genocide of all peoples in the Soviet Union.

Lavrov added that the Soviet people had suffered no less as they were exterminated in the same Nazi concentration camps as the Jews, with both people dying from starvation side-by-side in besieged Leningrad.

“According to this logic, we can do whatever we want. That won’t work if we want to systematically uphold international law,” he added.
