Czechs Condemn General's Comments About Limited Nuclear Attack on Russia
Commenting
on Czech General Petr Pavel’s recent commentary that NATO may be forced
to respond to hypothetical Russian aggression in the Baltic states with
tactical nuclear strikes, popular Czech alternative media resource Nova
Republika stated that the biggest threat to peace is really the NATO
mantra that Russia is an aggressor state.
Pavel, who assumed the position of chairman of the NATO Military
Committee on Monday, commented last week at a security conference
in Prague that “if Russia wanted to, it could occupy the Baltic states
and Kiev in two days,” noting that in such a situation, NATO could be
forced to respond with a “limited” nuclear attack using tactical nuclear
weapons.Nova Republika’s response to the high-ranking general stated
that in reality, “the biggest threat to peace is the mantra invented
by NATO and a number of European and American politicians that Russia is
an aggressor capable of invasion, and that therefore the alliance may
launch ‘tactical,’ limited and ‘humane’ nuclear strikes against the
country in the interests of self-defense. Nobody seems to pause
to consider that this is how a global nuclear holocaust could begin.”
The blog’s critique, which has since been republished by Czech newspaper Prvni Zpravy, emphasized that eminent world diplomats, journalists and politicians have stated that Russia has no plans to attack Ukraine or the Baltic states, despite the absurd assertions coming out of Kiev that Russia is on the brink of launching an all-out invasion of Europe.
