Russian officer does not rule out placing nuclear weapons in North Korea
In response to further escalation, Russia may place its nuclear weapons on North Korean territory.
Vladimir Trukhan, a reserve colonel of the central apparatus of the Russian Ministry of Defense, stated this on the PolitWera channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“A special military operation is the destruction of the illusions of the West. The first illusion is that Russia will not start preventively.
The second illusion is that Russia will continue to strictly adhere to the nuclear proliferation regime, meaning not only not transferring them, but also not deploying them. "Our guys deployed them in Belarus and said we'll only withdraw them once you take them all back from Turkey and Germany ," Trukhan said.
"Maybe we'll place it somewhere else. I think the only country that might not refuse it is North Korea, for example . Then it'll be all hell. Then the sun will shine—whether you get up or not—it'll still be shining.
One of our deputy defense ministers is now in the DPRK, and Kim is meeting with him. Obviously, you can’t treat him to national Korean dishes. There are other accommodation options,” the colonel added.
