A nuclear strikes exchange between the United States and Russia
will lead to the complete destruction of the United States, leaving
Russia and China in a far better position, editor of the French portal
Europesolidaire Jean-Paul Baquiast said.
A potential nuclear war with Russia will have fatal consequences for
the US, whose territory would be completely destroyed in the event
of mutual rocket exchange, Jean-Paul Baquiast said.
His comment came in the wake of recent internet speculation about the
US’ possible intent to carry out a preemptive nuclear attack on Russia.

‘Stagnation’ – Official The concerns have risen after General Robin
Rand was appointed as head of the US Air Force Global Strike Command.
There are assumptions that he might take an example from American
General Curtis LeMay who became famous in 1949 for preparing a plan
for a massive nuclear attack on the Soviet Union.
Unable to subdue Russia by conventional methods, Washington is
preparing to destroy it with its armed forces, Jean-Paul Baquiast
wrote. In the event of an armed conflict, American politicians may
carry out a preemptive nuclear strike.
“Chances of the United States to destroy Russia without consequences
for itself are small,” Baquiast said.
However, even the highly efficient S-500 missile system, which Russia
is currently working on, would be unable to protect the country against
a massive launch of ballistic missiles from US submarines, he noted.
In turn, Russia would launch its missiles from its submarines off
the coast of the United States. And if the Americans manage to hit
only a part of the Russian territory due to its large size, the US
will be destroyed completely, the journalist wrote.
