Putin Appoints ‘Professor Doomsday,’ Who Has Called For Nuclear Strikes Against The West, As Key Advisor For Strategic Deterrence

Russian President Vladimir Putin appointed a renowned political scientist, nicknamed “Professor Doomsday,” as part of the new foreign policies team focused on “deterring the West.”

Sergei Karaganov, a 71-year-old political analyst, has sparked concerns globally due to his controversial views and alarming statements. Karaganov has advocated for extreme measures, such as nuclear strikes against the West and Europe, as a means to test the United States’ commitment to its allies. He firmly believes that the West must not defeat Russia and claims that Russians possess an inherent “despotic DNA.”

Karaganov has previously urged Putin to launch a preemptive nuclear attack on Europe with the assertion that such an action would prevent a full-scale war. His thought process suggested that no country would dare retaliate due to the catastrophic consequences of leaving the world in “radioactive ruins.” He further argued that the West would be compelled to strategically retreat or even surrender for Russia to achieve victory in the conflict in Ukraine.

Karaganov outlined this stance in a 2,000-word essay emphasizing the necessity of conveying Russia’s readiness to deliver a retaliatory preemptive strike in response to perceived acts of aggression. He argued that this approach would serve as a deterrent against global thermonuclear war. Despite being one of the first figures in Russia to acknowledge the presence of an authoritarian state, Karaganov has also strengthened Putin’s ties with China, praising their governance methods.

Karaganov’s contentious viewpoints extend to the concept of Russia’s genetic code, as he claims that the country is inherently inclined toward authoritarianism due to its historical experiences shaping its genetic makeup. Recently, Putin ordered the testing of tactical nuclear weapons, accompanied by threats issued by the Kremlin against Western officials. These warnings emphasized that continued Western support for Ukraine could lead to a “worldwide catastrophe.”

Overlapping with Russia’s annual Victory Day celebrations, Putin paraded three Yars atomic missile launchers through the streets of Moscow as a warning to the West while the president’s discreetly dressed aides carried the nuclear briefcase capable of initiating a global conflict. The parade coincided with severe weather conditions, with snowfall marking the coldest and bleakest ceremony in 79 years.

After an odd softball interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Putin expressed his dismay for at Carlson’s weak style.
