NATO Issues Fresh Warning Over ‘Real Possibility’ Of War With Russia Hours After Putin’s Nuke Threat

NATO has issued a fresh warning over the ‘real possibility’ of all-out war with Russia hours after the new Putin nuke threat.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that NATO’s Secretary General has said the Ukraine war could spin out of control and escalate into a full-blown conflict between the military alliance and Vladimir Putin’s Russia – raising fears of a potential Third World War.

Asked about his biggest fear this winter, Jens Stoltenberg told the Norwegian broadcaster NRK: “I fear that the war in Ukraine will get out of control, and spread into a major war between Nato and Russia.”

“I understand everyone who is tired of supporting Ukraine. I understand everyone who thinks that food prices and the electricity bills are far too high.

“But we have to pay a much higher price if our freedom and peace are threatened through Putin winning in Ukraine.”

Vladimir Putin upped the ante on Friday, warning that any nation daring to attack Russia with nuclear weapons would be wiped off the face of the earth.

The Kremlin has repeatedly accused NATO allies of effectively joining the conflict by arming Ukraine, training its troops, and feeding military intelligence to attack Russian forces. In a bid to intimidate the West, Putin annexed four Ukrainian regions into Russia, claiming the territories are now part of Russia.

In remarks that mirrored the escalating hostilities between Russia and the West, President Vladimir Putin suggested Moscow might think about using what he described as the U.S. concept of a preemptive strike.

He said: “Speaking about a disarming strike, maybe it’s worth thinking about adopting the ideas developed by our U.S. counterparts, their ideas of ensuring their security.”

Before Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin expressed worry about American attempts to create the so-called Prompt Global Strike capability, which aims to hit an adversary’s strategic targets with precision-guided conventional weapons anywhere in the world within an hour.

Putin claimed Moscow’s precision-guided cruise missiles would outperform similar US weapons, adding that Russia has hypersonic weapons that the U.S. has not deployed.

The Russian leader said: “We are just thinking about it, they weren’t shy to openly talk about it during the past years.”

In one of his first admissions of wanting a peace deal, Vladimir Putin said Russia may be open to to striking an agreement with Ukraine to end the war.

However, he said that Russia did “not see them [the prospect of negotiations] at the moment.”
