One of Vladimir Putin’s senior advisors has reportedly revealed that the Russian government is “actively considering” a plan to trigger World War 3 by launching an unprecedented nuclear attack on Europe that would completely “eliminate the UK and Germany” in a single escalation.
The explosive warning was revealed by Tucker Carlson, who said the threat came directly from one of Putin’s closest strategic thinkers.
Carlson cited his recent interview with Sergey Karaganov, a longtime Kremlin insider widely viewed as reflecting Putin’s own strategic thinking.
“In that interview, he says point blank, yes, if the Ukraine war continues at this tempo for a year or two more, we — speaking apparently on behalf of the Russian government — will eliminate the UK and Germany with nuclear weapons,” Carlson said.
Europe’s Nuclear Vulnerability
The threat carries catastrophic implications.
Both the United Kingdom and Germany operate multiple nuclear power reactors.
A nuclear detonation near those facilities, or even an electromagnetic pulse, could trigger reactor meltdowns, exponentially magnifying radioactive fallout beyond the initial blast zones.
Putin has recently highlighted that while the U.S. and Russia maintain early-warning systems for intercontinental ballistic missiles, most European countries do not.
