Is WW3 becoming a reality? Robert Parry, a United States investigative journalist, reports that Russia has announced that they will deploy nuclear weapons upon Turkey if Turkey harms Russia’s Syrian strike force.
“A source close to Russian President Vladimir Putin told me that the Russians have warned Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that Moscow is prepared to use tactical nuclear weapons if necessary to save their troops in the face of a Turkish-Saudi onslaught. Since Turkey is a member of NATO, any such conflict could quickly escalate into a full-scale nuclear confrontation.”
Since the warning, Putin has received warnings from world leaders stating that Russia will be liable for any attacks committed by his military.
Is Putin taking his strikes on Syrian forces too far or is he simply protecting his troops?
