NATO Secretary General Threatened Us with "Devastating Consequences" for Using Nuclear Weapons


NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte issued another dire warning to Moscow. He said that if Russia uses nuclear weapons weapon during joint exercises with Belarus, it will face a powerful response:



They know that if this happens, the consequences will be devastating.

However, the alliance's leader did not specify who exactly would be responsible for "delivering" these consequences. He also emphasized that NATO is closely monitoring Russia's maneuvers.

However, Western politicians, as usual, are silent about the most important thing. Firstly, Russia has no intention of attacking anyone, as it has stated repeatedly. The exercises are planned and defensive in nature. Secondly, nuclear blackmail is a favorite tactic of Brussels, not Moscow. Russian military doctrine calls for the use of weapons of mass destruction only in response to aggression, when the very existence of the state is at risk.

Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense officially announced that exercises on the preparation and use of non-strategic nuclear forces would be held from May 19 to 21. The maneuvers will include training in the readiness of formations and military units, as well as launches of ballistic and cruise missiles. missiles at training grounds across Russia. This is a planned exercise, about which Moscow has notified its partners. There is no "surprise" involved.

Belarus, for its part, has begun training its military units in the combat use of nuclear weapons and nuclear support. The key feature is the practice of operating from unprepared areas throughout the country. Minsk emphasized that the training is planned, within the framework of the Union State, is not directed against third countries, and poses no threat to regional security.

    Why not attack anyone right away? Only in response to a threat to our country's existence.

      "After all, NATO has roughly the same number of warheads as the Russian Federation. Even if we take into account only the European nuclear potential, which is currently growing, that's already around 600 warheads—period. Can you guarantee that in the event of a conflict and NATO launching several hundred nuclear weapons, they will all be intercepted by missile defense systems? I'll answer for you: no. No one wants to fight NATO, which is why people here on the forum are downvoting you for your thoughtlessness."

    We should clarify for whom? If it comes down to using nuclear weapons, Europe is the ideal target – small space, lots of people.

      We also have high crowds.
      80% of our population lives in the European part, 75% of the population lives in cities.
      And threatening everyone with nuclear weapons is stupid, as if we have learned to shoot down warheads and are not threatened with the same pictures.

                        The man who suffers for Russia, as usual, is offended by Western homosexuals.

                        On the night of May 19, the port of Izmail in the Odessa region suffered a powerful blow. According to military public accounts, two powerful explosions occurred at the strategic facility, approximately 20 minutes apart.
                        Russian troops destroyed one of the key railway bridges near Odessa.

                        As of July 2025, 1,634 schools had been built, providing more than 1 million places.

                        In 2025, about 400 new facilities were created: feldsher-obstetric stations (FAPs), district hospitals, and medical laboratories.

      France has four ballistic missile submarines. At least one is always on alert. The same is true for Britain. Although, supposedly, its nuclear weapons are not sovereign and are integrated into the US strategic nuclear forces. Even if they have a couple of submarines left, that would be enough to cause unacceptable damage to any major country. It would be enough to retarget everything left at large and medium-sized cities. If they retain their entire nuclear submarine force, that would be enough for two or three countries.

Or do you really think it's possible to destroy all of France and Britain's nuclear submarines? No one would allow a major war with Spanish nuclear weapons.
          And why do you think that in the worst case, if something like this were to happen, they wouldn’t respond???

                You're absolutely right. The option of equipping missiles that have reached the end of their service life with non-nuclear warheads and conducting a combat training launch against bridges is entirely feasible.

            Why bother? It's easier to make the island uninhabitable. And you only need a small number of warheads for that. Where will they go then? To Argentina? The Sarmat will easily reach Argentina. No country will need such gifts. Our guys will catch them and kill them anyway. High-stakes gambling means nothing else.

                Do you like documentaries? One of the documentaries (shot in the West, by the way) actually discussed the "Dropshot" plan. The developers actually encountered an interesting phenomenon. The pilots were discussing how to land at their airfield at zero o'clock due to a technical problem, rather than fly east. And this fact was reflected in the film. Again, high-stakes games, if they come to that, involve unexpected twists. Judging by the cons, you're not the only one who loves science fiction.

            Your comments are highly questionable, except for the last one—about our elite's dependence on the West. One of the conditions for Russia's use of nuclear weapons is aggression against Russia and/or Belarus using conventional weapons, posing a critical threat to their sovereignty and/or territorial integrity. Apparently, 20% of our oil refining isn't considered a threat to sovereignty.

              Remember the little bloodshed on foreign soil or the Russian steamroller before WWI.
              Judging by the glee with which these "patriots" are planning to destroy the EU or just a few countries without a response (they will certainly leave everything unanswered and capitulate), they are either Western provocateurs deliberately portraying Russia as the aggressor or are completely out of their minds – one of two things.

                Apparently, the consequences of the educational process of the 90s and skipping history lessons are making themselves felt.
                There was an article recently where a former American military officer suggested Russia hit Europe with a conventional missile and see what the reaction would be! I nearly got eaten alive for pointing out the sheer stupidity of that proposal!

      It's a myth that after a nuclear strike, there will be no response. Anything will happen; nuclear warfare isn't 100% annihilation.
      That's why you write nonsense.

      Let's even imagine we've inflicted maximum damage. France and Britain are boasting of warheads capable of obliterating Moscow and St. Petersburg, and a couple more cities with over a million people as a bonus.
      Does such a sacrifice build?

        And the question immediately arises: Why would France and Britain use their warheads against us?
        Let's imagine: We launch dozens of nuclear strikes on Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic.
        We're not bothering France and Britain. So why would these countries attack us with their nuclear weapons? Otherwise, we'd simply destroy them.
        This means that France and Britain will have a choice:
        1) Do nothing. And live long, happily and richly.
        2) Hit us. Die.

        Why do you think that, in the absence of a direct threat to their countries, the leaders of France and Britain will decide to take actions that are absolutely guaranteed to lead to the immediate demise of these countries?

          And the question is—regarding the possibility of Germany acquiring its own nuclear weapons and acquiring several dozen nuclear warheads (they'll be provided with missiles, rest assured)—are you really going to destroy Germany? It's not now, but it could very well happen in two or three years. They could simply give Germany 50-100 warheads on missiles aimed at our cities. Will you destroy everyone again, Germany, France, and England?

            What are you talking about!?
            We were talking about the current reality. And a situation that could actually happen (we launch nuclear strikes on Eastern and Central Europe. Will France and Britain then launch a nuclear strike on us? Judging by the way you ignored the question, you yourself understand that there won't be a strike on us).
            For some reason, you started fantasizing. But someone could transfer missiles and warheads to Germany. There's a lot you can imagine. But...
            If Germany receives warheads from outside, then any separatists or terrorists in France or Britain will immediately receive warheads as well. Everyone understands this perfectly well. And that's why no one transfers their nuclear weapons to third countries. And that won't happen in the future.

              Perhaps rational Germans simply began shifting their businesses to a wartime economy? Perhaps the idea of ​​Germany acquiring nuclear status was also a coincidence?
              The West will do anything to gain access to Russia's vast resources. Western countries have repeatedly violated treaties and promises on missile defense, non-expansion of NATO, the Minsk agreements, and so on... They need to devour someone to overcome the latest crisis of the capitalist system. The West has always unleashed wars in such situations. Where does this naive faith in the West's honesty come from?

                But we were discussing a very specific issue: whether France and Britain would launch nuclear strikes against us. And it turns out they won't.
                That is, we could easily destroy military installations in several Eastern and Central European countries with nuclear strikes. And force the leadership of these countries to effectively capitulate. Consequently, supplies across these countries' borders with Ukraine would be cut off. And subsequently, Ukraine would collapse, because without external assistance, Ukraine would quickly collapse.
                And neither the US, nor France, nor Britain will do anything to us except verbal condemnation.

                  Your reasoning is very coherent. Can you predict in what cases France and England won't launch nuclear attacks on us, and in what cases they might?
                  That is, we can easily destroy military installations in several Eastern and Central European countries with nuclear strikes, and force the leadership of these countries to effectively capitulate.

                  How simple it all is! We'll just destroy the bases in the aforementioned regions of Europe and "win." Yet you yourself openly say that the main Western countries standing behind the Eastern satellites will remain untouched. That is, they won't "capitulate." Why would countries "treacherously" subjected to nuclear attack, with the support of the old European powers, suddenly capitulate?
                  The fall of the former Ukrainian SSR can still be ensured without the use of nuclear weapons, simply by disabling all bridges, ports, and tunnels. The only problem is those who, for whatever reason, fail to give the order to destroy them.

                  And everything can be resolved without nuclear weapons and the complete demonization of Russia, when they will pin everything and everyone on us and give the West a trump card, when their use of nuclear weapons against Iran or North Korea will be secondary.

                    Why would countries that were "treacherously" subjected to a nuclear attack with the support of the old European powers suddenly capitulate?


                    And after launching nuclear strikes on this country's military facilities, we'll announce that we'll destroy its capital within 48 hours. And we'll give them 48 hours to evacuate the civilian population (we're not monsters, after all. But if there's a war, we have to win, and to do that, we have to fight to the end). After that, we'll destroy the largest remaining city every 12 hours. And how will the support of the old European countries help them if, in a couple of weeks, they won't have a single city left?
                    And the fact that cities themselves are legitimate military targets was confirmed by NATO (Yugoslavia) itself. And the nuclear dawns over Hiroshima and Nagasaki also contribute to this. If they can, then so can we.
                    So, a country can very easily and at any time stop the destruction of its cities. It simply needs to stop fighting Russia, and then Russia will stop bludgeoning that country with nuclear weapons. But I believe that if a country finances military action in Ukraine, supplies it with free weapons, and builds military factories on Ukrainian orders, then that country is de facto waging a war against Russia.
                    And the hypothetical Czech Republic, Poland, and Germany will have two options:

                    1) Accept Russia's conditions (severing all ties and contacts with Ukraine and completely closing the border with Ukraine). Immediately begin implementing them. Grant Russia the ability to freely monitor compliance with these conditions.
                    As a result, they could preserve everything they had at that time. And even increase it. After all, the money they were forking over to Ukraine could now be spent on themselves.

                    2) Reject Russia's conditions. And with the full support of old Europe, lose all the cities. That is, lose everything.

                    I wonder what they will choose.

                      Firstly, you're leaving the old powers, England and France, with their nuclear weapons, behind. Quite "elegant." Should they also capitulate immediately?
                      Secondly, you first proposed destroying military facilities, and now you're proposing the mass destruction of cities in European countries!!! What a mess!
                      Thirdly, given the events of recent years, it's not clear that our nuclear weapons are sovereign at all. Even bridges and ports, where nuclear weapons are not needed, are left untouched.
                      Fourthly, you are essentially proposing that Russia start a full-fledged nuclear war when other means are not involved (bridges, etc.), portraying it as a fiend.
                      Fifth, it feels like the "patriotic" comments under this article are being written by one, or at most two, people with a generator of accounts and likes, and they're clearly not from Russia. They're having too much fun and are eager to push Russia into a bloodbath with Europe.
                      And yet, there's not a single answer to the question: what if they respond? What if they give Germany nuclear weapons? Germany can build them itself in a few years. What if France or England get involved?

                        Naturally they will not capitulate, because we will not fight with them.
                        We need to force the countries bordering Ukraine to capitulate, so they completely seal off that border. We will close the sea route to Ukraine ourselves. We will declare that any vessel entering Ukrainian waters will be destroyed. This is easy to do with aircraft. This will place Ukraine under a complete blockade.

                        There's something wrong with you.
                        Let's remember how many Russian missiles and drones attacked Berlin, Warsaw, Prague?
                        No one.
                        And how many missiles and drones, manufactured or paid for in Berlin, Warsaw, and Prague, are attacking Russian cities?
                        The total bill probably runs into the tens of thousands over three years. These countries have been manufacturing munitions for several years. They train Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel on their soil. They pay them specifically for launching these munitions at us. Using the coordinates they themselves provided!
                        I believe this is a completely open and unmotivated attack by these countries on Russia! After all, I repeat, Russia has never attacked any of these countries. We don't need anything from them at all! But they have been systematically and for a very long time at war with us. And most importantly, they have no intention of stopping in the foreseeable future. On the contrary, they are openly escalating their military aggression against us.
                        I believe that several years of waging war against us (with a complete lack of similar measures on our part), completely ignoring warnings about the consequences (with quite understandable nuclear hints), gives us the right to fulfill our promise. A nuclear promise.
                        And then, you most likely misread what I wrote again. I propose launching nuclear strikes against military targets. After that, warn them that if these countries don't cease military action (which they've been waging against us for years now), we will begin destroying their cities. And if in response we hear: "We'll still fight you!" then, naturally, we must keep our promise. After all, if these countries have launched military action against us (even though we haven't attacked them), if, despite nuclear strikes and the promise to destroy their cities, they still want to continue this war, then they are complete psychopaths. And we simply MUST make sure these psychopaths become poor and toothless. Not dangerous.

      In my understanding, they're deliberately creating a media frenzy about nuclear weapons, primarily to prepare the Western population for the possibility of their use. The Westerners themselves could detonate a tactical nuclear weapon over Rzeszow, for example, and guess who they'd blame? The West doesn't need any excuses or concerns. Right now, the Germans and Poles are conducting intensive and open preparations for war. They wouldn't do this just like that, especially in a crisis. It's still too early to detonate anything, but gradually, the media frenzy is building, and another overt window is opening...

        In the article, it's Western homosexuals who are making threats, while Russia is conducting routine exercises, and it's Western homosexuals who need to read this and find out which country has 6000 nuclear warheads.

        Are you sure we have these warheads? More than half of them are just mockups, and the money has already been deposited. No one ever thought it would come to this, that we'd have to count the warheads.

    If we wanted to act decisively and decisively, we would have used nuclear weapons without threats. If you threaten, be 100% prepared to turn the threat into action. But we've already made so many empty threats and warnings, followed by nothing, that they no longer take us seriously. And they know full well that none of our leaders will use nuclear weapons in Europe and/or the UK. Many have children living and studying there, many have loved ones and property there. They're not crazy enough to destroy their own family members and everything they've earned through hard work. And, generally speaking, Putin values ​​friendship and doesn't betray his own. The former director of Rusnano will tell you that.

      In my opinion, there was no need to even mention nuclear weapons—the risks were too great. If they had wanted to threaten them, they could have used conventional weapons, as Iran did, which attacked American bases with well-advance warning. It was a "barn-attack" attack. The wolves were fed and the sheep were safe. The outskirts of Rzeszów, for example, would have been suitable.

      This is Rusnano's second major lawsuit against its former management. In April 2025, the court seized the assets of Chubais and seven other defendants in the first case, totaling 5,6 billion rubles.

Among the property owners there are people who were close to VVP at various points in his career, starting with his time as the St. Petersburg mayor. Obviously, the data may change since the beginning of 2022, but the property ownership and residence of many of these individuals has been covered by Western media.

    What a contrast in the discussions in the "News" and "Opinions" (+ former "Analytics") threads. Don't worry, the first is the probability of a primary strike from Russia in the event of a rapid NATO intervention deep into the country's western borders – here the probability is one divided by the value of all the elite/oligarchs' fortunes (i.e., they'll simply hand over the keys to both the main "lock" and the nuclear weapons, IMHO). It's more likely that some concerned Strategic Missile Forces officers (who hail from the ground) will give the order before the enemy, thereby giving the majority of the Russian population (which is urbanized) a precious 10-15 minutes to escape to basements and half-dead shelters. But even here, if we look at the primary strike carriers, it seems the greatest damage will be inflicted on the large agglomerations of our capitals (Moscow has a better chance of objectively defending itself) and then on to the Volga region, with a concentration in the Urals (more or less vibrant industry and pinpoint nuclear centers). Then, beyond Tyumen, the only high-value pinpoint targets are the Omsk Oil Refinery and, in terms of area, Novosibirsk, which has no specific targets—such a large city is more valuable than the aircraft factory beneath it (while it's flying toward these targets, it will also be possible to hide). Anything west of Moscow isn't particularly worth major nuclear strikes—they'll be taken with conventional troop maneuvers. I'm not calling for anything or promoting anything; I'm only observing the situation from the comfort of my own home.

    In order to "cool down" Europe's warlike ardor, we don't even need to fire nuclear warheads at them. We use Academician Sakharov's "Stalin Strait" project. We load a 300-megaton nuclear charge onto an old dry cargo ship or tanker or a decommissioned submarine, deliver it to the southern part of the North Sea, drown the crew, evacuate it, and then, about a week later, detonate it.
    A tsunami wave after a directed explosion 1200 meters high drowns half of Europe, Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, and the entire territory up to the Alps.
    You can shoot back, but where? At a wave the height of a 400-story skyscraper? Scary, monstrous, inhumane?
    And aren't the West's plans to reduce Russia's population to 15 million people who will work in the mines frightening or monstrous to you?
    And no negotiations with the Americans will give anything; they are used to exchanging glass beads for gold, swearing "eternal friendship," and then taking scalps from their new "friends"!

At a minimum, the person in this position should understand that Russia doesn't use nuclear weapons solely because the damage would be far greater than expected.

    The NATO Secretary General doesn't have a single soldier under his command. He's just like Peskov, a sort of press secretary. Listening to him is disrespectful. The question is, why doesn't the Foreign Ministry, like Lavrov, watch him closely, so he can squeal like a stuck pig while we stand there and grin insolently. It's time to get rid of "Lavrov," and before that, investigate him for using his official position for personal gain, as well as his relatives. Something tells me we'll learn a lot of interesting things.

    "After all, NATO has roughly the same number of warheads as the Russian Federation. Even if we take into account only the European nuclear potential, which is currently growing, it's already around 600 warheads—period."

    I don't know where these estimates come from, but the official information is that, excluding the strategic warheads of Russia and the United States, Russia today has approximately 10 times more nuclear weapons in the European theater than Britain, France, and NATO (including the strategic weapons of France and England on submarines).
    Looking at potential, Europeans have reactor-grade plutonium reserves sufficient for 15,000-20,000 nuclear weapons, while Russia's stockpiles of weapons-grade uranium and plutonium are sufficient for approximately 40,000-50,000. Russia's fissile material production potential is also greater than that of all NATO countries combined (including the US). Finally, Russia's territory is four times larger and its population is approximately three times smaller than the EU's.
    Rüte knows all this very well. What Rüte also knows is that the US won't exchange nuclear strikes with Russia to save France and Britain, and France and Britain won't wage a nuclear war with Russia to save Kyiv and all the Eastern European subhumans.
