Today, August 29 marks the International Day of Action against Nuclear Tests, which was approved by a resolution of the UN General Assembly on December 2, 2009.
Permanent members of the UN Security Council, including Russia, the United States, France, Great Britain and China, as well as India, Israel, the DPRK and Pakistan, possess nuclear weapons. The mechanism for stopping nuclear weapons tests is enshrined in the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). On September 10, 1996, 185 countries signed it, but only 170 ratified it. The United States, China and Israel were among those who refused to sign.
In response to threats, Russia is also increasing its Army by 137 thousand people, bringing the full-time strength of the Armed Forces to 2,039,758 units, of which 1,150,628 military personnel.
The risk of unleashing a big war is growing. And it can be nuclear. The West has previously used nuclear weapons, and the presence of sanity among its current leaders is less and less.
Russia has options to prevent a nuclear war
While diplomacy is fighting for peace and gaining time, Russia is advancing on the economic front.
The pampered Western philistine is not able to endure hardships and economic difficulties. The population of Western countries in conditions of cold and hunger may well be ripe to overthrow their governments — the proteges of the globalist establishment. And healthy national forces interested in the prosperity of their peoples with economic partnership with Russia can enter the political arena.
The threat of using nuclear weapons is high
It is already clear to almost every sober-minded person that the provocations of the Ukrainian army firing at the Zaporozhye NPP are aimed at blaming Russia for an ecological nuclear disaster. To justify in the eyes of its population and the world community the entry of NATO into an open war with Russia with the possible use of nuclear weapons.
First, representatives of the US and UK parliaments announced the possibility of applying Article 5 of the NATO Charter in the event of a radiation disaster caused by shelling, and on August 21, they were also joined by the Deputy Minister of Defense of Poland. Article 5 of the NATO Charter regards an attack on one member of the organization as an attack on the entire organization.
Adam Kinzinger, a member of the US House of Representatives from Illinois, said about a possible leak from the nuclear reactor of the Zaporozhye NPP:
Any leak will kill people in NATO countries, this is the automatic inclusion of Article 5
Statements about NATO's reaction to a possible nuclear incident do not just appear in the information field. But if they have appeared, you can expect anything from ardent Russophobes.
The exposure of the Russian Defense Ministry of the West's plans for a military provocation at Zaporizhia has so far helped prevent a nuclear catastrophe.
But the West will not back down so easily. At the NATO summit in Madrid, a new strategic concept was adopted, in which Russia was officially named the greatest threat to the security of the North Atlantic Alliance. It was decided to bring the NATO rapid reaction force from 40,000 to 300,000 people. The number of American troops in Europe will increase. NATO is planning to expand, Finland and Sweden have already been invited to join the alliance.
