Or if we turn to a Sunday broadcast by Russian TV anchor Dmitry Kiselyov, one of the main faces of the Kremlin’s domestic propaganda: “Our submarines alone can launch more than 500 nuclear warheads, which guarantees the destruction of the U.S. “Vladimir Putin is a man who can’t back down, who only escalates, who knows no boundaries.” “It’s a real threat,” Hermitage Capital Management CEO Bill Browder, a longstanding Putin critic and driving force behind the Magnitsky Act, said in a Sunday webinar with South Africa’s Daily Maverick. “This is a threat that if Russia isn’t treated as he wants, then everything will be destroyed.” “Putin’s words sound like a direct threat of nuclear war,” Novaya Gazeta chief editor and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dmitry Muratov told the BBC. But could Putin really push the button? Multiple experts say yes-and if an attack is imminent, the targets would most likely be the European countries that are racing to arm Ukraine.
