TYRANT Vladimir Putin has recruited a new despicable pal to his government dubbed “Professor Doomsday” who says Russia should nuke the West instantly.
Sergei Karaganov, Vlad’s new right-hand man, has a chilling history with a number of threatening remarks including him claiming Russians have “despotic DNA” and that “Russia cannot lose” to the West.

Karaganov, 71, has been hired by the Kremlin to work on “deterring the West”.
One of his methods in the past saw him tell Putin to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike against Europe so they can test the Nato resolve and unity.
The senior Russian academic has been outspoken with his distaste for the Western world and how they view Russia as an inferior nation.
He shot to infamy when he started to ask for a war in Ukraine with his comments on a Russian think tank site calling on his president to end the world’s apparent suffering from the “western yoke”.
According to Karaganov, Russia should drop a nuclear bomb on the entirety of Europe to test the US commitment to their allies.
In a drawn-out 2,000-word essay from last year, Karaganov said a Russian nuclear strike would save the world from an all out war.
The twisted professor claimed no country would be “mad” enough to drop a retaliatory strike as it would leave the planet in “radioactive ruins” – something no one wants.
Allowing Russia to claim what they desire without opposition.
Karaganov wrote: “The enemy must know that we are ready to deliver a preemptive strike in retaliation for all of its current and past acts of aggression in order to prevent a slide into global thermonuclear war.”
He has also made it clear the threshold for deploying nuclear weapons is too high in his eyes.
Stating he plans on convincing Putin and the Kremlin to consider using nukes as a deterrent rather than a last resort.
Just last week, Putin ordered tactical nuclear weapons testing as Russia directly warned the West to back-off.
The Kremlin also warned Western officials if they continue to support Ukraine then a “worldwide catastrophe” will break out.
Karaganov also said in order for Russia to win in Ukraine the West would need to “retreat strategically, or even surrender” – leaving a serious strike the only option in his mind.
The respected figure in Russian politics has been bought on board to Putin’s cabinet to help with foreign policies.
One of his most concerning statements came when he claimed “Russia cannot afford to lose” the war and if they feel they are beginning to there will be a “definite possibility of escalation”.
Karaganov was also one of the first people within Russia to admit they are ruled under an authoritarian state.
He said: “Russia is genetically an authoritarian power.
“Russia’s authoritarianism was not imposed from above but is the result of our history which has formed our genetic code.”
Karaganov is also believed to be a big part of Putin’s growing relationship with China as the professor has always praised the way they operate.

It comes as a former US ambassador told The Sun Putin is deadly serious about “confronting the West” – and the use of nuclear weapons should not be ruled out.
Frank G. Wisner, who served under President Bill Clinton, lashed out at Vlad and described the Russian tyrant as “extraordinarily reckless”.
Recently the grieving widow of Alexei Navalny, Putin’s number one foe, claimed “unpredictable” Putin was ready to use nuclear weapons.
She warned that the power-hungry President wanted to keep the world living in fear and “nobody knows what Putin is going to do next“.
Military experts also warned that the Russian tyrant would “sacrifice everything”, and could even launch a nuclear weapon into orbit if he felt his iron grip was slipping.
But if things swing in Ukraine’s favour, it’s feared erratic Vlad could hit the nuclear button and spark the beginning of WW3.
Putin’s nuclear threats
BELOW is a timeline of some of the thinly veiled, and more cutthroat threats Vladimir Putin has made against the West with his nuclear arsenal since invading Ukraine two years ago.
FEBRUARY 24, 2022 – Vladimir Putin: “No matter who tries to stand in our way or all the more so create threats for our country and our people, they must know that Russia will respond immediately, and the consequences will be such as you have never seen in your entire history.”
MARCH 26, 2022 – Putin crony Dmitry Medvedev: “We have a special document on nuclear deterrence. This document clearly indicates the grounds on which the Russian Federation is entitled to use nuclear weapons. … [This includes] when an act of aggression is committed against Russia and its allies.”
APRIL 20, 2022 – Vladimir Putin: “[The new Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads] will force all who are trying to threaten our country in the heat of frenzied, aggressive rhetoric to think twice.”
FEBRUARY 18, 2024: Putin crony Dmitry Medvedev: “Attempts to return Russia to the borders of 1991 will lead to only one thing. Towards a global war with Western countries using the entire strategic arsenal of our state.”
FEBRUARY 29, 2024 – Vladimir Putin: “They must understand that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory… All this really threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons and the destruction of civilization. Don’t they get that?”
MARCH 13, 2024 – Vladimir Putin: “From a military-technical point of view, we are, of course, ready. … Weapons exist in order to use them. We have our own principles.”
Talk of a nuclear war has increased in recent weeks after Nato and Russia both started to move their nuclear arsenals across Europe.
Poland announced it would be ready to host nuclear weapons on their Nato border with Russia.
President Andrzej Duda said his country will take up nuclear arms if they are asked to by Nato as they look for somewhere to deploy weapons and respond to the latest chilling Putin threats.
Poland sits in a crucial position in terms of the ongoing war in Ukraine with the Nato nation sharing a border with Belarus and the Russian military playground of Kaliningrad.
Ukraine has always been reassured they have Poland‘s full support if ever needed due to their position.
The tyrant and his Kremlin cronies started to reinforce their armoury in Belarus and Kaliningrad recently, stocking up on their worrying warfare.
Russia has the world’s largest number of nuclear weapons as they topple the scales with nearly 6,000.
Only the US comes close to Putin’s tally with most other nations failing to house over 400 nukes.
Nato’s nuclear showdown with Putin
NATO is headed for a nuclear showdown with the west as Nato could be considering moving nukes to Putin’s doorstep.
Below is a timeline of some of the thinly veiled threats the Kremlin has made against the West since invading Ukraine two years ago.
Feb 24, 2022 – Vladimir Putin: “No matter who tries to stand in our way or all the more so create threats for our country and our people, they must know that Russia will respond immediately, and the consequences will be such as you have never seen in your entire history.”
March 26, 2022 – Putin crony Dmitry Medvedev: “We have a special document on nuclear deterrence. This document clearly indicates the grounds on which the Russian Federation is entitled to use nuclear weapons.
“[This includes] when an act of aggression is committed against Russia and its allies.”
April 20, 2022 – Vladimir Putin: “[The new Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads] will force all who are trying to threaten our country in the heat of frenzied, aggressive rhetoric to think twice.”
Feb 29, 2024 – Vladimir Putin: “They must understand that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory…
“All this really threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons and the destruction of civilisation. Don’t they get that?”
March 12, 2024 – Vladimir Putin declared that weapons like nukes “exist in order to use them”.
May, 2, 2024- French President Emmanuel Macron declares he will send his countries troops to Ukraine if Putin breaks through the frontline.
A chilling nuclear war simulator has also revealed how a Russian nuclear strike could trigger a global conflict – killing 35 million people in just a matter of hours.
The model predicts a catastrophic war escalating from an initial Russian nuclear strike, which quickly draws in other powers.
Known as “Plan A”, the four-minute animation aims to highlight the horrific potential consequences of conflict between Russia and NATO countries as all nations would fire strikes against one another.
The model predicts that almost 35 million people would die within hours – many of those in the first 45 minutes.
The trigger-happy tyrant has even started talking about how he could deploy nukes in space, saying that Russia can be “proud” of its work on a “nuclear power plant… for operation in space”.
A bombshell warning from US intelligence in February suggested Vlad could be hoping to arm his existing anti-satellite weapon with nukes and launch it into space.
Last year, Putin was said to be readying a deadly 20,000mph “meteorite” hypersonic missile for combat
