NUCLEAR
WAR could be imminent as Russia told its citizens to urgently prepare
for a devastating radioactive conflict as relations with the West
stoop to their lowest since the Cold War.
A
terrifying Russian television broadcast explicitly told civilians to
find out where their nearest bomb shelter is and repeatedly asked
viewers if they were ready for nuclear war.
One
apocalyptic broadcast told viewers on Moscow's state-owned TV channel
NTV: "If it should one day happen, every one of you should know
where the nearest bomb shelter is. It’s best to find out now."
The
enraged host, Evgeny Kiselyov, blasted America's "impudent
behaviour" and spent two hours warning that a conflict could
take "nuclear dimensions".
Aggressive posturing from Russia in recent weeks has seen the state
force 40 million of its citizens to take part in a massive defence
drill to prepare them for a nuclear holocaust.
Russia’s military announced it would run the country-wide drill in
preparation of a large-scale war.
The governor of St Petersburg clarified what bread rations people
could expect should Russia come under attack – 300 grams for 20
days.
The Kremlin also ordered nuclear capable missiles to be rolled into a
base in mainland Europe, on an enclave near Poland called
Kaliningrad.
It comes as Russia vowed to shoot down any American fighter planes
that attack President Bashar al-Assad's forces in Syria.
Verbal
jousting between the US, Britain and Russia over the issue of the
ongoing bombardment of civilians in Syria are reaching a peak, with
the very real possibility of genuine armed conflict between the
nations taking place over the city of Aleppo.
But
one expert believes Putin's latest ramping-up of tensions is simply a
tactic to prevent the US from interfering in Syria and to put the
incoming American President on the back foot when they take office
next year.
