Vladimir Solovyov has once again stirred concerns among the British public by openly discussing a hypothetical situation where Russian President Vladimir Putin could initiate nuclear warfare against the UK.
Known for his role as a propagandist and host on state television, Solovyov has not shied away from expressing his apparent eagerness to target UK cities. Recently, he was seen smiling and joking about the bombing of Oxford and Cambridge to eliminate the British elite.
In his latest remarks, Solovyov, who is handsomely compensated for promoting Kremlin agendas, suggested that if Ukraine were provided with Tomahawk long-range missiles, a potential nuclear standoff akin to the Cuban Missile Crisis could unfold in the West, following hints from US President Donald Trump.
Unapologetically contemplating the global reaction to such extreme measures, Solovyov proudly stated, “If the United Kingdom is eradicated, I believe humanity as a whole would applaud. It’s remarkable how they would commend it. That’s the reality; it would be commendable.”
Taking his audacity further, Solovyov callously proposed that Putin might cause “panic” in London by suddenly withdrawing Russian diplomats, creating a false perception among Western nations of an imminent strike. He went on to speculate about the chaos that would ensue if the embassy were to vacate completely.
While the hope is that such a horrifying scenario never materializes, a website called NuclearSecrecy.com has developed a tool called Nuke Map, allowing users to simulate the catastrophic effects of nuclear weapons. This tool, created by science and nuclear weapons expert Alex Wellerstein, offers insights into the potential devastation caused by a massive nuclear blast.
The tool’s simulation indicates that a detonation over Cambridge, as joked about by Solovyov, would result in a nightmarish outcome. The nuclear fireball would encompass a radius of 2.97 km², engulfing surrounding areas like Grantchester, Milton, Teversham, and the iconic campus of the University of Cambridge.
Moreover, the map illustrates the various blast zones and their respective impacts, from immediate vaporization within the fireball to widespread destruction in the surrounding areas. It paints a grim picture of the aftermath, emphasizing the severe consequences of a nuclear strike on populated areas.
In light of these grim possibilities, experts advise taking precautions and seeking shelter in secure locations to enhance survival chances in the event of a nuclear attack. The discussion around the potential targets and impacts of nuclear strikes serves as a stark reminder of the gravity of such catastrophic events and the importance of preparedness in the face of such threats.
