Hear These Russian Warnings: They Might Save Your Life
by Rachel Douglas and Nancy Spannaus
Russia’s Gen.-Maj. Andrei Burbin, chief of the Central Command Post of the Strategic Missile Forces, said in an interview, that Russia is prepared to use its strategic nuclear weapons under conditions of attack on the country, including the much-ballyhooed U.S. Prompt Global Strike scheme for a non-nuclear attempt to destroy the Russian retaliatory capability. His message was that “utopian” military schemes for “limited nuclear war” or a “counterforce” destruction of Russia’s nuclear weapons are illusory: The result will be retaliation against the United States with Russia’s intercontinental ballistic missiles. Other prominent Russian officials are making a similar point.
