A member of the Russian parliament recently encouraged his country to attack the United States with nuclear weapons during a television appearance.
Andrey Gurulyov, a member of the State Duma and a former military commander, made the comments during a discussion on a program broadcast on the Kremlin-controlled Russia-1 network.
In a panel moderated by host Vladimir Solovyov, Gurulyov said that Americans “won’t come to their senses” until “they get hit with a nuclear bomb in the skull,” according to a translated clip posted on the Russian Media Monitor YouTube channel by the journalist Julia Davis.
Gurulyov also said that a Russian nuclear attack was the only way forward to ensure lasting peace.
“There is no other way to talk to these fools,” Gurulyov said before adding that people have tried unsuccessfully to convince him otherwise.
“Today, considering our strategic initiative, and at this moment we have it secure, along with our current successes, I really want us to envision the future,” Gurulyov said. “We should plan beyond the horizon so that we know what happens in one year, three years, five years and 10 years and push this paradigm hard.”
“We will win, 100 percent. Where? Everywhere! Everywhere! And this is not about Ukraine. Everywhere!” Gurulyov added.
Gurulyov went on to say that Russia is a country that brings peace to the world: “Russia was, is and will be a great nation, capable of bringing peace,” he said. “Peace is the key word! We bring peace and calm!”
Gurulyov’s comments about attacking the United States are not his only recent conversation about nuclear war.
During a September appearance on Russia-1, Gurulyov said Russian President Vladimir Putin’s army could turn the UK into a “Martian desert” with a nuclear attack.
In that program, it was also said that Moscow should have taken advantage of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral to launch a nuclear missile attack on the United Kingdom.
