An adviser to Vladimir Putin called nuclear weapons a “gift from God” and demanded that they be used so as not to “anger Him.”

Sergei Karaganov, head of the Council for Foreign and Defense Policy and known in Russia as Professor Doomsday, said: “The fact that we have nuclear weapons is the result of the intervention of the Almighty. We must not anger God. And therefore we must actively use the weapons that he gave us for self-salvation.”

He also stated that not actively using nuclear weapons is a sin against the Soviet and Russian people, noting how several people lost their lives so that the country could acquire them.

The trigger-happy professor explained that God “somehow prevented the Germans, who were ahead of everyone else, from acquiring nuclear weapons.”

“Then he helped us, with the hands of Oppenheimer (and) Fuchs.

Karaganov’s comments come after Putin this week staged an apparent nuclear war by firing dozens of missiles capable of carrying out a “massive” strike, in a stark warning to the West.

‘In this way he (God) saved mankind.’

J. Robert Oppenheimer was known as the ‘father of the atomic bomb’ and was the scientific director of the Manhattan Project, where the first nuclear weapons were developed during World War II.

This led to the bombs that the US dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, which led to the surrender of Japan and ultimately the end of the war.

However, hundreds of thousands of people were killed.

Oppenheimer later expressed deep moral concerns about nuclear weapons and became an advocate for international arms control.

Meanwhile, German-born Fuchs worked on the Manhattan Project, but was a Soviet spy and passed secrets of nuclear bombs to Moscow, allowing the USSR to develop its own nuclear arsenal.

He was subsequently imprisoned in Britain before moving to East Germany upon his release.

But what Karaganov didn’t mention was the real reason why the Nazis didn’t get the atomic bomb first.

According to the article, German scientists didn’t use graphite as a moderator in the development of the bomb and also overestimated the critical mass of uranium needed to cause an explosion, which ultimately prevented them from creating the atomic weapon.

Karaganov had previously claimed that Putin was sent by God to save the world.

“In my conversation with Vladimir (Putin), I dared to point out that his task is not only to win the war and save Russia, but also to save the world,” he said.

Karaganov — who owns a luxury apartment in the heart of Venice and another in Berlin — told Putin in June: “And at some point, God Almighty had pity on us (and you came).

‘Now you have Vladimir Vladimirovich (Putin) a difficult task.

‘Not only to win, but also to save the world that is sliding and being pushed into a world war.’

He said: ‘We are not fighting Ukraine and the hapless, misguided Ukrainians, who have been thrown into the meat grinder by their corrupt elite and their (Western) masters.

‘We are fighting the West.

“Of course we will attack the Ukrainian army because it is essentially a mercenary army, but our main goal is to sober up and force the West to retreat.”

Karaganov’s comments come after Putin staged a mock nuclear war this week when he launched dozens of missiles capable of unleashing a “massive” attack in a stark warning to the West.

The major new exercises spanned Russia, with launches of Yars intercontinental ballistic missiles from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in the northwest to the Kura test range in Kamchatka in the far east.

Defense Minister Andrei Belousov warned the West that the exercise was intended to show how Russia could “carry out a massive nuclear strike by strategic strike forces in response to a enemy nuclear attack.”
