Russian state TV has seen Putin’s allies praising Donald Trump, with one expressing admiration for him while also cautioning that his actions could escalate global tensions towards a nuclear conflict. The discussion took place on the program Sunday Evening with Vladimir Solovyov, featuring Karen Shakhnazarov, the Director General of Mosfilm, and Semyon Bagdasarov, a State Duma member.
During the show, Solovyov commended Trump but highlighted the uncertainty surrounding the US president’s decisions, suggesting that the possibility of a nuclear confrontation cannot be disregarded. He mentioned the potential for an American nuclear strike against Iran. Solovyov expressed his support for Trump, attributing his actions to a radical restructuring akin to an American ‘perestroyka.’
The conversation continued with Bagdasarov voicing concerns about the political situation in Israel leading to a deadlock, emphasizing the volatile nature of the region and the looming threat of a nuclear strike on Iran. The discussion then shifted to the likelihood of the US, under Trump, facing similar nuclear risks, with Solovyov reiterating his admiration for the president.
Bagdasarov took a more critical stance, labeling Trump as erratic and questioning his motives, while suggesting Israel as a probable instigator of nuclear escalations. In a previous episode, Solovyov had forewarned about a potential catastrophic nuclear conflict triggered by tensions in the Middle East.
Solovyov emphasized the inevitability of nuclear weapons being deployed due to the current American political climate, with Trump openly discussing such actions. He stressed the urgency of acknowledging the possibility of nuclear warfare and the repercussions of using nuclear weapons against Iran. Solovyov painted a grim picture of the aftermath, emphasizing Iran’s size and capacity to retaliate effectively.
The discussion underscores the growing concerns about the escalating tensions and the potential nuclear threats in the current geopolitical landscape.
