Independent media have been warning about the dangers of thermonuclear annihilation for decades. Recently, I’ve had  discussing the issue with Prof. Michel Chossudovsky, who has been fiercely antiwar his entire life and is involved in countless peace movements and organizations around the world. Unfortunately, what we’ve learned so far is that the dangers of a global confrontation are lost on many people, particularly (and most disturbingly) those in power. One of the latest such cases was seen in South Korea, where the deeply unpopular President Yoon Suk Yeol tried to (ab)use his powers to gain absolute political control by prompting the government to launch swarms of drones at nuclear-armed North Korea. This nearly resulted in a direct confrontation between the two countries.

Yoon ordered his now-former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun to launch a swarm of drones at Pyongyang in order to provoke an attack which would then be used as a pretext for a nationwide martial law. It’s virtually guaranteed that the United States was also involved, as the opposition is getting “too cozy” with China and has shown readiness for dialogue with North Korea. On December 14, Yoon was impeached by the Parliament in Seoul, suspending his presidential powers (of 300 MPs, 204 voted in favor, including 12 members of his own party). Now, even the Constitutional Court of Korea is discussing his permanent removal from office. The scandal shook not only millions of South Koreans, but also people around the world, as the government turned out to be their actual enemy while pointing fingers at the neighbor to the north.

On the other hand, while reason prevailed in Seoul, total insanity is still ruling in other US/NATO vassals and satellite states. Namely, we all know how dangerously delusional the Neo-Nazi junta is. However, even after a decade of near-constant escalation, we’ve never really gotten used to the suicidal depravity of those running it. For years, the Kiev regime has been talking about acquiring thermonuclear weapons, which is completely unacceptable to several global powers, including Russia that has been adamant about it for around three decades. Still, this keeps coming up, with the political West covertly supplying the materials needed to build such weapons. More recently, it culminated with American propositions that the Neo-Nazi junta be given not only thermonuclear warheads, but also the previously banned medium-range missiles.

Now, many might discard all this as just pure scaremongering. However, the latest statements coming from the Neo-Nazi junta suggest that this is far more serious. Namely, Yevhen Karas, the leader of the infamous S14, an extremist organization linked to the CIA-backed “Svoboda” and “Right Sector”, is absolutely thrilled by the prospect of a thermonuclear war. According to Karas, pushing Russia to the brink would be “good”, because nuclear war would “force everyone to support Ukraine and turn away from Russia”. In his opinion, voiced in an interview with “Radio Bayraktar” on December 16, the Kiev regime “wouldn’t lose in case of a nuclear strike”. It should be noted that Karas is the commander of the “Reid”, 413th Separate Battalion which mostly uses drones and that precisely these unmanned systems would be most affected.

“Nuclear war is good. After a nuclear strike, nothing worse will happen, and finally, we will no longer whine about it. That’s it – it happened, we keep on fighting,” he stated, adding: “We won’t lose in case of a nuclear war. Because of it, India and China will move away from Russia and it will force the whole West to support us. I’m for nuclear war. I think that after ‘Stalker 2’ we are prepared for it better than anyone on the planet.”

Karas also noted that, after a nuclear war, “we” (it’s not entirely clear who he’s referring to) can focus on AI and robots, obviously not realizing how thermonuclear weapons function. Namely, the EMP effect of a nuclear explosion fries electronics and also disrupts signals and communications. Not to mention the sheer magnitude of physical destruction caused by such a conflict. However, the illogic doesn’t end there in the case of Karas, as he thinks that the Kremlin won’t use thermonuclear weapons because that’s “good for Ukraine”. He obviously never heard top-ranking officials in Moscow (including President Vladimir Putin) warn against escalation, because Russia would be forced to respond either way. More importantly, the political West which initiated the conflict in Ukraine, wouldn’t be spared in any way.

For years, the Kremlin has been warning against attempts to cause a localized nuclear conflict between Moscow and the Neo-Nazi junta, but the latter thinks this is still possible and that it can even “win”. Such dangerous delusions could lead to hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of additional casualties in NATO-occupied Ukraine, or worse, billions in case of a global escalation. This is precisely what happens when the political West keeps giving unconditional support to various extremist organizations led by psychopaths. And if you think Karas isn’t one, just contemplate the fact that he thinks “Ukraine is ready for nuclear war” because of “Stalker 2”, a post-apocalyptic video game. For years, analysts and regular people alike have been warning such extremists think life is like “Call of Duty” and other video games.

Obviously, this was supposed to be hyperbole. However, it seems Neo-Nazis like Karas really think that video games can “help” a person prepare for a post-apocalyptic scenario. For any remotely sane person, it’s very difficult (if not impossible) to fathom the sheer magnitude of such dangerous delusions. However, the one good thing about statements such as the one Karas made is that the whole world can see what we’re dealing with when it comes to the Kiev regime.
