Vladimir Putin's close ally has issued a warning to the west that 'World War 3' is coming.

Russian political scientist Sergey Mikheyev appeared on state-controlled TV to send a nuclear threat to the west.

Speaking on Russia's Channel 1, he said the west sending weapons to help Ukraine would escalate into WW3.

"The nuclear war is coming", he added after warning, "[the West] don't understand what happens next", reports Express.

Speaking live on Russian state TV, Mr Mikheyev said: "[The West] talk about how many more weapons are being sent and how frightening these weapons are.

"They don't understand what happens next.

"They all say 'terrible weapons are arriving over there, they keep coming and coming'.

"They promised not to use them a certain way.

"But most likely, they will do it anyway. And that will lead to WW3.

"Then we're being told 'calm down, comrades, everything will be alright'.

"Those guys will send weapons, and so will others.

"They will most likely try to use them. A common man asks, 'What happens next?'. Next comes WW3. The nuclear war is coming, that's all.

"There will be a nuclear war."

Referring to Mr Mikheyev's words, Channel 1 host also added: "I'm sick of them [the west].

"Reading about whatever they come up with next, like their new lists of sanctions.

"If you want war with us, then declare war. We will strike the decision-making centres, and those are not in Kyiv.

"We knew that our adversary is NATO, and all our weapons were developed not merely for Ukraine but for a confrontation with the NATO bloc.

"We could spit on whatever they send to Ukraine".

The claims came as US President Joe Biden announced that new weapons and aid package would be sent to Ukraine in the coming days.

In a statement, he said the US would send "more advanced rocket systems and munitions that will enable [Ukrainian soldiers] to more precisely strike key targets on the battlefield in Ukraine".

Long-range missiles are also believed to be part of the package that will reach Ukraine in the next few days.

The US had previously been unwilling to send these weapons out of fear that they could be used against targets in Russian territory, given their ability to launch missiles at a distance of over 45 miles away.

Ukraine, however, has assured the US and confirmed it would not use the long-range missiles for those purposes.

'Nuclear war is coming' Putin's mouthpiece warns west of 'World War 3' in latest threat - Irish Mirror

Russian TV continues to make insane threats of nuclear annihilation of the West as Russia's atrocities on Ukraine shows no sign of ending anytime soon.

This month saw the high-profile presenter Dmitrii Kiselyov threaten Britain with devastating nukes, bragging that Russia could launch a Poseidon nuclear torpedo on the UK.

The presenter, who has been dubbed "Putin's mouthpiece", said that it would unleash a tsunami which would "plunge the British Isles into the depths of the sea".

It was added that such an attack would also turn the UK into a "radioactive desert".

The terrifying threats come after pro-Putin filmmaker Karen Shakhnazaro threatened the opponents of the Russian war in Ukraine with cruel punishments such as "concentration camps and sterilisation" in a broadcast on tinpot Russian state TV.

He added any "opponents to the letter Z" (a symbol of Russia's invasion) will face "no mercy".

Shakhnazaro made the chilling threat on state-owned television channel Russia 1 and said that anyone who plans to aid Ukraine from the West will be tortured.

"The opponents of the letter Z must understand that if they are counting on mercy, no, there will be no mercy for them," he declared.

"It's all become very serious. In this case, it means concentration camps, re-education and sterilisation."

Shakhnazarov later alleged that his remarks has been taken out of context but failed to give further explanation.

And in another terrifying threat, a top Russian politician has bragged about Vladimir Putin's ability to wipe out the UK in just 200 seconds with SATAN nuclear missiles.

Aleksey Zhuravlyov, 59, boasted about the terrifying threat which he claims would eradicate Finland, which is poised to join NATO, within 10 seconds.

The deputy chairman of the parliaments defence committee made the wild remarks in response to the Western unity against Russia.

It comes as senior officials appear to be concerned at Putin's lack of military progress in Ukraine.

Asked whether Russia would now rebase nuclear weapons onto its border with Finland, Zhuravlyov said: What for? We don't need to.

We can hit with a Sarmat [known in the West as Satan-2] from Siberia, and even reach the UK.

And if we strike from Kaliningrad, the hypersonic's reaching time is 200 seconds - so go ahead, guys."

He said Russia would massively strengthen its military forces on its western flank and said the US would do "everything possible to make World War III happen".

Russian TV host's insane threat to nuke UK into 'depths of sea' and trigger WW3 - Daily Star

THE US and Russia face off in the Ukraine in a crisis that may start a great war. It will be the first one in decades that is directly between the superpowers although the Ukrainian pawn will suffer the greatest loss of life should it push through. Small countries like the Philippines would do well to review lessons from yesteryears and the circumstances today.

The mask maintained by the US has come off. Pretending it was Ukraine or NATO that was confronting Russia was no longer credible as the US, through State Secretary Antony Blinken and President Joe Biden, talked directly with Russia's Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, and President Vladimir Putin while the Ukraine, the theater of conflict, was NOT EVEN INVITED to the discussion.

While NATO is also in the discussions, the European Union has to remind the US that its interests should not be the only consideration, that the threatened sanctions on all trade and oil, gas deliveries from Russia would severely damage the EU, who don't fight with Russia, especially if executed this cold winter where heating is needed.

The western media uniformly reports the cause of the conflict is Russian aggression to retake east Europe, that it has massed troops and military equipment on the border of Ukraine. But western media fails to mention as well the Ukrainian massing of military to take over the Donbas region, which it had agreed to give autonomy to in the Minsk agreements. Russia claims it wants to protect the Russian population if attacked by Kiev, that could lead to genocide; the west allowed genocidal collapses earlier in the Slavic and other Mideastern countries under their control.

(From left) US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, US President Joe Biden, Russian President Vladimir Putin and a caricature of US President McKinley holding the Philippines, depicted as a savage child as the world looks on.

The western media charging that Russia had invaded Crimea and is likely encouraging and assisting separatist groups in the Donbas may arguably have basis, but it should be fair to point out that the Ukraine coup was supported by the US, removing an elected president to install the US' own, and Crimea was being attacked by Kiev, where in a referendum 97 percent among the 83 percent of Crimean people voted to be part of Russia, fearful of Ukrainian rule marginalizing them. Never mentioned for perspective is that the US is actively financing, even passing legislation and sending military forces to encourage dozens of separatist groups around the world, while allowing suppressing, invading, taking over settlements of separatists and putting minorities in ghettos in allies' countries.

From the Russian, and any normal nation's view, the insistence on a legally binding agreement with the US that it will not increase NATO presence seems reasonable, given the liberation of East Europe was agreed to by the USSR among other things based on the US' James Baker's promise that NATO "would not move an inch east." But since then, the US has brought NATO to Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Now Ukraine is at the very border of Russia.

Despite the many records showing such a promise was given, the US demands that it be shown in writing. The US has time and again shown they do not value their promises; diplomats should always take this into account.

To further bring Ukraine into NATO would be allowing missiles right at the doorstep of Russia and closing off Russian maritime access to Europe. This is an existential destruction of Russian power, allowing it to be choked by sanctions, a frequent practice of the US. This limiting of or even strangulation of physical accesses to trade and movement, now includes access to technologies, finance, and takeovers of national bank accounts,

Financial strangulation by closing the Swift US dollar currency clearing system is also being threatened by the US, which is calamitous for any nation but survivable for a few diversified powers. This threat is a warning to the rest of the world.

The US had threatened to go to possible nuclear war with Soviet Russia in 1962 when Russia was putting missiles in Cuba, at the US' doorstep. Rarely brought up in history lectures is that this was in response to the US' secret Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba and putting nuclear missiles on the Turkey border aimed at Moscow. Should the US be the only country allowed to protect itself by disallowing encirclement by offensive weapons?

It is a generally accepted politico-military traditional compromise in such cases to allow a buffer region. It was agreed between various countries in Europe, outer Mongolia became the buffer between Russia and China, USSR withheld from installing missiles in Cuba, and other instances.

The Russian demand currently to return to the original promise would be impossible to imagine though.

The US posits that Ukraine has the right to allow the installation of weapons from NATO in its own territory but disallows non-aligned countries from having the same rights to developing and installing weaponry even in their own territory.

US allies may develop nuclear weapons, assassinate, bomb even innocents without penalty. This was proven again last week in videos of innocent civilians killed by US drones in Kabul, with no parties prosecuted. For the non-aligned, arresting a few inciters to violence leads to international outcries of genocide even if they live in better circumstances than many US citizens.

This is directly aligned with the experience of the Philippines in the Scarborough Shoal standoff in 2012. The unnecessary confrontation arose because of bungled simple fisheries disputes that were non-events among half a dozen countries for decades, but were highlighted in the media, with macho declarations and military interventions entered Philippine foreign affairs bungled, but very favorable for the US?

In discussions with China, then Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario incomprehensibly abdicated his role in negotiating, or even being present at, or even in formulating the terms of a mutual withdrawal of boats in a standoff with China, which was already accomplished by Sen. Antonio Trillanes 4th to the last three boats. Yet del Rosario dropped this successful progress in favor of escalating the confrontation to an international non-court that calls itself a court, the Permanent Court of Arbitration, then still blames the failure on others and on China. Why did the US become the sole negotiator and why have Antonio Carpio, Jose Cuisia and their followers never answered these questions by facts in their narratives "an inconvenient truth"?

These false promises and exclusions are repeatedly part of our experience, where the US and Spain negotiated the "liberation" of the Philippines to make brown brothers part of "white man's burden." Aguinaldo and the Filipinos were prevented from joining the meetings. Then the Philippine-American War was started by American shots that were blamed on the Filipinos, even though President Aguinaldo repeatedly asked to have discussions early on to clear "the misunderstanding." Gorbachev might have learned from Philippine history.

The tactics for hegemony haven't changed. US President Abraham Lincoln probably had some people in mind when he famously said: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time...." Does the last line apply to us? Let's study for the next test; we may become the frontline heroic medal winners again.

The Philippines should learn from Ukraine, avoid the frontlines of WW3 ...

The use by the Russian Federation of nuclear weapons in its ongoing war against Ukraine would lead to World War 3.

The opinion was voiced by German MP Gregor Gysi, who spoke with Guildhall, Ukrinform reports.

If Russia uses a nuclear weapon against Ukraine, with or without a resolution of the UN General Assembly, all of humanity will be affected and it will lead to WWIII. So I'm assuming and hoping that it won't come to that, Gysi said.

The statement came as a response to a question of whether the UN General Assembly should adopt a resolution providing that, if Russia nukes Ukraine, this would mean declaring a war against all humanity.

I would react to the threat in such a way that Russia would cause World War III and go under itself, Gysi concluded.

As reported earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during an informal meeting with the CIS diplomats once again suggested that Russia could use nuclear weapons, not ruling out such an option.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine warned that the world should prepare for a nuclear strike by the aggressor power.

On the air of the Russia 1 TV channel, Russian propagandist Olga Skabeeva and MP Alexei Zhuravlev discussed how many seconds it would take for the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile to reach the capitals of Great Britain, Germany, and France the nations supplying weapons to Ukraine.

Earlier, the head of the Center for Defense Reforms, coordinator of the interagency platform for countering hybrid threats, which operates within the framework of Ukraine-NATO cooperation, Oleksandr Danyliuk also stated that, in response to confirmation of intentions to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine, Russia should be excluded from the UN Security Council, and the UN General Assembly should immediately adopt a resolution that such a step on the part of the Russian Federation would be a declaration of war on humanity.

As reported previously, former Commander of the Estonian Defense Forces, MEP, Lieutenant General Riho Terras believes the UN General Assembly should adopt a resolution that the use of nuclear weapons by Russia against Ukraine will be seen as a declaration of war on all mankind.

Ex-Minister of Defense of Lithuania, MEP Rasa Jukneviien, shares the idea that Russias use of nuclear weapons would mean theyre at war with the whole world.

Also, the head of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Latvian Parliament, Atis Leji, supported the initiative on the need for the said UN resolution to be adopted.

A Member of the House of Lords of the British Parliament, former British Foreign Secretary David Owen, believes the initiative to discuss at the UN General Assembly the recent Russian threats to use nuclear weapons is worth looking into.

Use of nuclear weapons by Russia would lead to WW3 - German MP - Ukrinform

The four-day Conference on the Future of Europe has come to a close in the most unconventional way.

To mark the end of the event in Strasbourg where EU lawmakers came together to discuss how they can improve the European Union a troupe of interpretive dancers appeared out of nowhere.

They performed a routine around the hemicycle for the first ten minutes, with a narrator that reportedly whispered in French: "You have just arrived on the Moon... your hands become fish... You discover a new planet. Here, plants have taken power." MEPs could be seen awkwardly watching on looking just as baffled as those on Twitter when the clip surfaced online.

Choreographed by French dancer Angelin Preljocaj, the unexpected move led Pro-Brexiteers to chime in on the action.

GB News presenter Darren Grimessaid: "Interpretative dance at the EU parliament. Brexit was worth it to avoid this alone.

"The faces of the MEPs are hilarious. #cringe"

Nigel Farage also jumped in and reiterated on Twitter: "There are many reasons why I am pleased to no longer be an MEP.

"Not having to witness this 'interpretive dance' is one of them."

One Twitter user hit back at Farage, saying: "Other countries have a deep and ancient culture to you bell***. Just coz you dont like or respect it doesnt mean its bad or wrong."

"You hardly ever turned up, Nige," another joked.

More stunned people turned to social media to gauge what was happening.

"WW3 about to break out... But first..let's dance," one witty user penned, while another mirrored his comments, tweeting: "There are people starving, on the verge of WW3 and they are wasting time and money on that... Looking at some of the representatives, they don't look impressed."

The room was treated to another performance around an hour later. But, this time, it was Beethoven's Ode to Joy - the European anthem by a group of musicians from each member state.

EU Parliament President Roberta Metsola concluded: "Citizens - especially young people - are at the heart of our vision for the future of Europe. They have directly shaped the outcome of the Conference.

"We are at a defining moment of European integration and no suggestion for change should be off-limits.

"We should not be afraid to unleash the power of Europe to change people's lives for the better."

Thousands of British Army soldiers, along with tanks and weapons, are to be sent to eastern Europe amid growing World War Three fears.

In one of the largest military deployments since the Cold War, British personnel will be placed in countries from Finland to North Macedonia.

These plans were in place before Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his "special military operation" in Ukraine, but have since been bolstered.

Over 100 armoured fighting vehicles and dozens of tanks will be sent with the troops, who will join tens of thousands of others from NATO and Joint Expeditionary Force allies.

The British deployment will peak at around 8,000 personnel between April and June.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said that the aim of the operation is "deterring Russian aggression in Scandinavia and the Baltic states".

British personnel will take part in a number of exercises with their allies involving parachute drops, helicopter-borne air assaults and Challenger 2 tanks.

The point of these exercises is to "showcase the scale and significance of the British Army's contribution to the defence of Europe", the MoD said.

Brits will also be involved in some exercises in Poland alongside American troops.

UK defence secretary Ben Wallace has hailed the plans as a show of "solidarity and strength".

He said: "The security of Europe has never been more important. These exercises will see our troops join forces with allies and partners across NATO and the Joint Expeditionary Force in a show of solidarity and strength in one of the largest shared deployments since the Cold War.

"Operating across Europe, the British Army will stand alongside partners, combining our capabilities and shared values, promoting peace and security."

Commander Field Army Lieutenant General Ralph Wooddisse described the plans as "fundamental" with regards to security in eastern Europe.

"The UK makes a significant contribution to the defence of Europe and the deterrence of Russian aggression. The British Army's series of exercises is fundamental to both," he said.

"The scale of the deployment, coupled with the professionalism, training and agility of the British Army, will deter aggression at a scale not seen in Europe this century."

Thousands of British troops to be sent to Europe with tanks amid Russia WW3 fears - Daily Star

Vladimir Solovyov, known as Putin's "mouthpiece", has threatened Europe and NATO countries of an impending war as he said Russia's war is entering "a new stage".

The prominent Russian state TV presenter said there "will be no mercy" during his ranting speech.

Solovyov questioned whether NATO countries will have enough weapons left to defend themselves once Russia's invasion of Ukraine ends.

The ranting propagandist, who was sanctioned by the EU for his close ties to the Russian leader, warned that Moscow will be "grinding up NATO's war machine as well as its citizens".

On the state-owned Russian television channel Russia 1, Solovyov said: "I believe the special military operation is entering a new stage.

"Ukrainians alone are no longer enough. Now they're talking about NATO countries supplying de-facto their own weapons. We'll see not only NATO's weapons being drawn into this but also their operators.

"De-facto, we're starting to wage war against NATO countries. We'll be grinding up NATO's war machine as well as citizens of NATO countries."

He added: "When this operation concludes, NATO will have to ask itself: Do we have what we need to defend ourselves? Do we have the people to defend ourselves?

"And there will be no mercy. There will be no mercy. Not only Ukraine will have been denazified, the war against Europe and the world is developing a more specific outline which means we'll have to act differently and to act much more harshly."

The presenter's troubling comments come just weeks after arsonists targetted his villa in Lake Como, and activists poured red paint into his swimming pool at another of his luxury properties and scrawled "killer" on the wall.

Russia recently announced its plans to take over the south of Ukraine and the whole of the Donbas region.

Rustam Minnekayev, the deputy commander of Russia's military, said Putin's army plans to forge a corridor between Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula which Russia annexed in 2014, and the Donbas in eastern Ukraine.

Ukrainian fighters left in Mariupol, that Russia claims to have seized, are holed up at Azovstal industrial facility which Putin has ordered to be blockaded, condemning the soldiers and civilians inside to their deaths.

Mr Minnekayev said should Russia's forces seize southern Ukraine, it would improve the army's access to Moldova's pro-Russian breakaway region of Transdniestria.

Transdniestria borders Ukraine, causing Kyiv to fear the area could be used as a launching pad for new attacks from Russian troops.

Ukraine's Defence Ministry has denounced Russia's plans to seize full control of Donbas and southern Ukraine, calling it "imperialism".

The ministry wrote on Twitter that Russia had "acknowledged that the goal of the 'second phase' of the war is not victory over the mythical Nazis, but simply the occupation of eastern and southern Ukraine. Imperialism as it is".

She had her blonde hair tied up in a messy bun as she took a shot.

Toby shared a post of the golf ball and added a caption that read: "Bad memories playing golf."

Why am I seeing tweets about ww3???!!!!! Chloe posted in February, as Russian soldiers began to invade Ukraine.

Youre probably too thick to realise what a WW is. Carry on promoting lip filler and Botox, the Twitter user fired.

Gal Gadot has confirmed that work on Wonder Woman 3 has begun. Its been a rollercoaster ride for the Princess of Themyscira across the DCEU so far, with Gadots Diana Prince featuring in both critically praised and panned movies. Take her two solo films, for instance. 2017s Wonder Woman was a huge hit, but 2020s Wonder Woman 1984 is generally agreed to have dropped the ball and forgotten what made the first so good.

So fans will be hoping that the upcoming third entry in the Amazon warriors saga will be able to restore the franchise to its former glory. Forbes recently spoke to both Gadot and director Patty Jenkins, with interviewer Jeff Conway congratulating the pair on the news that WW3 is a go. Jenkins responded, Thank you! So happy to hear that. I appreciate that. We cant wait to get the next movie out, too.

This then prompted the Israeli actress to offer a more illuminating update, revealing that the script is in the process of coming together:

Were talking! Were actually in the mix of working on the script and getting the third one made, so its all wheels are working and turning and Im super, super excited for the fans to come and watch Wonder Woman 3 once its made.

Not much is known about what we can expect from the threequel, although we can say that one cast member from WW84 will return and one wont. 1970s Wonder Woman icon Lynda Carter looks set to reprise her role as Asteria from the sequels post-credits scene, this time in a much more substantial role. Meanwhile, Chris Pine has ruled out a further resurrection for Dianas love interest Steve Trevor, after he was briefly brought back to life in the last one.

While Wonder Woman 3 is already in the scripting stage, fans should be prepared for a long wait for it. Gadot has previously confirmed that filming wont get underway until mid-2023 at the earliest. Thats no doubt due to the stars incredibly busy schedule. One of her many upcoming projects includes a Cleopatra biopic, which was to reunite her with Jenkins before Kari Skogland took over as director due to Jenkins commitments to Star Wars: Rogue Squadron.

'Wonder Woman 3' Script Is Being Actively Worked On, Reveals Gal Gadot - We Got This Covered

Newly minted German Chancellor Olaf Scholz succeeded Angela Merkel in late 2021, after a campaign where he was conspicuously silent on NATO nuclear deterrent plans.

Germany is not a nuclear-capable nation, despite having the facilities to produce warheads, but is included in NATO's weapon sharing agreements.

Under the Scholz administration, the country has ramped up defence spending amid the crisis in Ukraine.

He pledged to raise defence spending to two percent of Germany's GDP and increased the annual defence budget from 50.3 billion to nearly 70 million.

As part of this push, German defence minister Christine Lambrecht announced the government would replace its Tornado bomber jets with US-made F-35A Lightning II aircraft.

While she didn't mention nuclear production, Ms Lambrecht said these planes could deliver nuclear warheads.

The German Chancellor has demonstrated a readiness to defend his country from potential aggression, meaning his forces would be well equipped to respond to active warmongering in Western Europe and beyond.
