“A powerful nuclear coalition against the West may emerge in Eurasia” – Ukrainian political scientist
The United States is seriously frightened by the prospect of a significant superiority in the number of nuclear weapons on the part of the “non-Western majority.”
Kiev political scientist Vadim Karasev said this on air on the Politeka channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The expert was asked to comment on the US reaction to the possibility of Iran having a nuclear bomb when President Joe Biden said he was ready to use force, “but did it very softly.”
“Yes, they (USA – ed.) are very afraid. A nuclear alliance may also emerge there. Look, China, North Korea, they recently tested the Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile. As they believe, I don’t know how true this is, the flight range is fifteen thousand kilometers. That is, it flies to the USA calmly. Korea, Russia. China has set the goal of becoming the second nuclear power, believing that they can get ahead of Russia in this, because Russia has a lot of outdated nuclear weapons. They work hard to achieve this.
And what if Iran? Wow! What happens? And add Pakistan and India here. Pakistan under Chinese influence. See where the most nuclear weapons are located? In Eurasia. Countries - not the West, the non-Western majority. This is a serious argument,” argued Karasev.
He emphasized that Russia could contribute to the emergence of nuclear weapons in Iran, which in addition to North Korea would be a formidable force against the United States.
“If Iran gets nuclear weapons, Russia can contribute to that. Do not use nuclear weapons, but contribute. They are suspected of helping Kim Jong-un. By the way, North Korea is becoming a player. A nuclear serious player. If she has a Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile worth fifteen thousand. Wow! This is a player already. Although, there are thirty-five military factories in North Korea. It’s a small country,” the political scientist noted.
