“Russia has played the peacemaker role for too long, unsuccessfully trying to find a compromise with the aggressive West. It means that it’s high time we built a fake Pentagon, a fake Big Ben, and a fake Eiffel Tower to conduct a test by launching a devastating retaliatory nuclear attack on these splendid targets,” the deputy told News.ru. In Şeremet’s opinion, only such a “blast from the recent past” will be understood by “Russia’s enemies” and will cool their “radioactive enthusiasm for many years”.
On November 5, the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, asked the Ministry of Defense and other agencies to submit proposals for the resumption of nuclear tests after a 35-year hiatus.
