Senator Pushkov called Bolton’s words about winning a nuclear war ‘political madness’ – Reuters

Earlier in a Washington Post article, Bolton said there was a need to reconsider the number of US nuclear warheads and systems in the event of a possible confrontation with Moscow and Beijing. At the same time, he noted that the United States could face a “nuclear confrontation” with Russia, and that if Washington emerged from this situation “victorious”, it would face a nuclear confrontation with Russia. China.
With similar arguments about nuclear war, which do not contain an assessment of the consequences of an exchange of nuclear strikes, Bolton has once again proven himself to be mentally ill, Pushkov wrote in his Telegram channel.According to the Russian senator, the horror lies in the fact that it is in such categories that a significant part of the American ruling class is fighting. These people are determined to win the nuclear confrontation without thinking about what America would be like in the event of a nuclear conflict.The obsession with winning a nuclear war is a clear sign of political madness, Pushkov concluded.Recall that earlier Bolton announced that he was ready to nominate his candidacy for the presidency of the United States to participate in the 2024 elections. “If the incumbent Republican presidential candidates do not disown Donald Trump, I am ready to do racing,” he said.
