THREAD:

An interesting policy proposal in this article by @SKaraganov in @ru_global:
He seems to suggest to throw nuclear war heads on countries that have
(a) not attacked Russian state territory, and
(b) have not even sent any troops to Ukraine. /1

An atomic explosion as an answer to economic sanctions, and delivering some hardware, information & training to Ukraine? Perhaps, Russia and other nuclear-weapon states could then also use nuclear threats in their regular trade relations? /2

Some if not most Ukrainians might support Karaganov's idea to directly involve third countries in the war. Finally, there would be real military allies! /3

Ideally, the Washington Treaty's Article 5 will be triggered, and @NATO would be looking for suitable Russian targets outside Russian state territory. Most of them are in Ukraine. Karaganov's proposal amounts thus to a plan to liberate Ukraine. Did the SBU pay him? /4

Thanks to @MSnegovaya for drawing attention to this article in the journal "#RussiainGlobalAffairs" published by #FIMP in collaboration with @HSE_eng, @SVOP_1992 & @Russian_Council.

PS: Note that an old prophecy by the late @Vangababa predicted something like #SergeyKaraganov's scenario.
