Lavrov Says US Shouldn’t Do a Decapitation Strike on Russia

Oh yeah, he would say that!

Reported comments by US officials about the possibility of a “decapitation strike” against Russia strongly suggest that Washington does not rule out the assassination of President Vladimir Putin, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with TASS news agency published on Tuesday.

The minister noted that some “‘unnamed officials from the Pentagon actually threatened to conduct a ‘decapitation strike’ on the Kremlin…What we are talking about is the threat of the physical elimination of the head of the Russian state,” he said.

The top diplomat went on to warn against such a line of thinking. “If such ideas are actually being nourished by someone, this someone should think very carefully about the possible consequences of such plans.”

Lavrov was apparently referring to a September article by Newsweek, which alleged that US defense officials are considering a number of options to respond against a potential Russian nuclear strike, including “a decapitation strike to kill Putin in the heart of the Kremlin.”

The foreign minister also accused some of America’s partners of embracing a confrontational approach in the nuclear sphere.

Lavrov also recalled Ukraine’s statements on the matter, saying “I not even mentioning the Kiev regime’s provocations, that go off the chart. [Ukrainian President] Vladimir Zelensky went as far as to demand preventive nuclear strikes by NATO countries on Russia. This is also beyond the bounds of what is acceptable,” he noted.

Yeah, yeah, okay communist. Or fascist. Or whatever bad thing it is you are.

We fight for DEMOCRACY and democracy means preemptively nuking anyone who doesn’t agree to our very specific and deranged terms!

We are America, bub, and we will nuke everyone if it suits our peaceful mission!

We will kill everyone on earth in order to prevent commie fascists from banning gay marriage in the Donbass!
