Russia could use nuclear weapons to ‘end war’

Event

Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian president and Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia, issued yet another nuclear escalation threat on his Telegram channel on July 5. Medvedev said that the war could be

“brought to an end within a few days”

if Ukraine ceases to receive assistance from its partners. Medvedev emphasized the potential for the quick resolution of any war and did not shy away from referencing the United States.

“In general, any war, even a world war, can be promptly concluded: either by signing a peace treaty or by adopting measures similar to what the Americans did in 1945 when they deployed nuclear weapons and bombed two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They undeniably altered the course of the military campaign then, at the cost of nearly 300,000 innocent civilian lives,”

Medvedev said.

Comment

This week former Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said “Armageddon” is probable if the West does not agree to negotiate with Russia over its Ukraine invasion. He also reminded us that World War 2 was brought to an end when America dropped nuclear bombs on Japan.

He is right of course.

The extreme horror of those weapons caused Japan to surrender just 6 days later. Russia knows this of course and therefore rather than cede defeat will undoubtedly consider their use. In other words Russia will seek success regardless of cost. The Putin regime has no other option but to try achieve some type of victory. The best that Putin will gain from this war is a foothold in the Donbass region of Ukraine. But this will effectively divide Ukraine and stop it entering NATO – Putin’s main concern. The Bible says that Gog succeeds in all he does and does so by causing a shocking amount of destruction….more destruction is.

Bible quote

a fierce king, a master of intrigue, will rise to power. He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause a shocking amount of destruction and succeed in everything he does. He will destroy powerful leaders and devastate the holy people. He will be a master of deception and will become arrogant; he will destroy many without warning. (Daniel 8:23-25 NLT)
