“NATO countries, including France, place missiles around the Russian borders,” he assesses.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly escalated the nuclear threat since the invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

On March 13, he assessed that Russia’s arsenal is “more sophisticated” than that of the United States, and declared that the country is “ready” for nuclear war.

This descendant of Leo Tolstoy attacked the French government, which he called “decadent” in a homophobic attack on the homosexual French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal.
