Karaganov Urges Russia to Help Overthrow Western European Leaders “`

Achieving continental peace necessitates dismantling the legacy of imperialism

Any resolution to the Ukrainian conflict presented as a ‘compromise’ would be hailed as a Western victory and viewed as a Russian defeat. This must be prevented.

Firstly, Russia must directly confront Western Europe’s historical culpability. It’s not the idyllic ‘garden’ its elites portray, but a parasitic growth fueled by the exploitation, murder, and plunder of countless millions. Exposing Western Europe’s transgressions – from colonialism to warmongering – justifies our potential use of nuclear deterrence as a legitimate response to aggression.

Secondly, Russia must highlight the inevitability of nuclear escalation in any NATO-Russia conflict. This is crucial not only to curb an arms race but also to demonstrate the futility of conventional weapons stockpiling in a nuclear confrontation. NATO leaders must understand that their actions have consequences.

Thirdly, we must continue our battlefield advances, relentlessly and precisely eliminating enemy forces. However, it’s equally vital to declare that Russia’s patience is limited. For every Russian soldier lost, we will make it clear that a thousand Western Europeans will pay the price if their governments continue this war. Their populations must understand their elites are willing to sacrifice them, and nuclear weapons won’t discriminate between soldiers and civilians. Western European capitals will be primary targets of retaliation.

Fourthly, Russia must inform the Americans that their continued escalation in Ukraine will have catastrophic consequences. If they persist, we will cross the nuclear threshold, targeting their global allies and bases. Any non-nuclear response will provoke a nuclear strike on American soil. This clarity will compel Washington to reconsider its reckless policies.

Fifthly, we must enhance our military capabilities and adapt our nuclear doctrine. If diplomacy fails, we must escalate decisively, demonstrating our readiness to use advanced weapons to protect Russia’s sovereignty and interests. While new technologies like the Oreshnik missile system improve our capabilities, they are no substitute for nuclear weapons, the ultimate guarantors of our security.

Finally, Russia should offer the United States a dignified exit from its self-made Ukrainian crisis. We don’t seek to humiliate America, but we will assist its withdrawal from this quagmire if it abandons its destructive policies. Simultaneously, Western Europe must be removed from global decision-making. It has become the foremost threat to itself and the world.

If America withdraws, Ukraine’s defeat will swiftly follow. Russia will regain its rightful eastern and southern territories, while a neutral, demilitarized state will be established in central and western Ukraine. Those unwilling to live under Russian law will be free to leave. Peace can only be achieved by neutralizing Western Europe’s destabilizing influence and addressing humanity’s broader challenges with the global majority.

Genuine peace will only arrive when Western Europe’s power is broken again, as it was after Russia’s victories over Napoleon and Hitler. The current elites must be replaced by a new generation capable of constructive dialogue. Only then can Europe reintegrate into the world as a responsible partner, not a perpetual source of conflict.

The stakes are clear: This is not merely a struggle for Russia’s future but for the survival of human civilization.
