“I have a simple question for all those who claim that tactical nuclear weapons should not be used,” Solovyov began his speech. “Are you saying that our state has invested an insane amount of money in the creation of non-strategic weapons for decades in order to never use them?” the propagandist asked rhetorically.
“And as for the argument that we shouldn’t use nuclear weapons against states that don’t have nuclear weapons? If we are attacked by an army of 500 million people (meaning the West, editor’s note), which has superiority in certain types of equipment, then we should rather ask: Really? Shouldn’t nuclear weapons be used?” Solovjov concluded.
Russian propagandist Solovyev says tactical nuclear weapons should be used because Russia has invested an insane amount of money in them.

The Russian propagandist and presenter often makes extreme statements in his show. He has already spoken many times about the fact that Russia should use nuclear weapons in addition to conventional weapons. For example, he called for nuclear attacks on the cities of the North Atlantic Alliance.
Another time he spoke about the fact that the earlier peace between Russia and the West was a coincidence and that there is a natural war between them. According to him, peace cannot be made between good and evil. We are good and they are evil. It’s simple and clear,” Solovyov proclaimed in April.
In Russian propaganda programs in the state-controlled media, which includes Solovyov’s show, extreme positions are often heard. They are also watched by people in the free world because they provide a picture of what narratives the Russian regime wants to serve to its citizens.
