re: Desperate Putins' Struggle to Prop Up Ruble & China is Russias' Lifeline to Fund WAR
World Hurtles Towards Nuclear War as Vladimir Putin Set to Rip Up Key Treaty in Days
Putin Escalates Nuclear Rhetoric With Threat to Resume Testing to Highlight New Missile Capabilities and Abandon Test Ban Treaty
BBC 11 OCT 2023
Vladimir Putin suggested he will revoke a nuclear treaty sending tensions rising around the world with Russia poised to test a weapon of mass destruction.
Vladimir Putins’ government is set to rip up a key treaty in a move sure to escalate nuclear tensions with the West.
The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organisation verifies that nuclear-armed nations are adhering to a ban on testing weapons of mass destruction.
It has been ratified by Russia but as of yesterday lawmakers in Moscow were given 10 days to find the best way to revoke the treaty.
In a move that sent tensions soaring, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov claimed earlier that the United States was planning to test nuclear weapons in the Nevada desert.
Ryabkov added that Russia’s foreign ministry was drafting a bill which would revoke the treaty.
The news comes amid increasingly hostile nuclear rhetoric from Russian propagandists and politicians as Moscow’s forces bog down in Ukraine.
Last month, former Russian President and close Putin ally Dmitri Medvedev threatened direct conflict with NATO which he predicted would end in nuclear war.
