Putin Appoints 'Professor Doomsday,' Who Has Called For Nuclear Strikes Against The West, As Key Advisor For Strategic Deterrence

"Russian President Vladimir Putin appointed a renowned political scientist, nicknamed “Professor Doomsday,” as part of the new foreign policies team focused on “deterring the West.”

Sergei Karaganov, a 71-year-old political analyst, has sparked concerns globally due to his controversial views and alarming statements. Karaganov has advocated for extreme measures, such as nuclear strikes against the West and Europe, as a means to test the United States’ commitment to its allies. He firmly believes that the West must not defeat Russia and claims that Russians possess an inherent “despotic DNA.” Karaganov has previously urged Putin to launch a preemptive nuclear attack on Europe with the assertion that such an action would prevent a full-scale war."
