Gurulyov began by describing attacking any and all space satellites and missile defense systems of any and all NATO member nations, but specifically described striking London first.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe certainly won\u2019t start from Warsaw, Paris, or Berlin,\u201d Gurulyov said. \u201cThe first to be hit will be London.\u201d<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3sLuck88IXQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&#8212;<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll destroy the entire group of enemy\u2019s space satellites during the first air operation\u201d Gurulyov began his remarks. \u201cNo one will care if they are American or British, we would see them all as NATO.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecond, we\u2019ll mitigate the entire system of anti-missile defense, everywhere and 100 percent,\u201d the Russian lawmaker added. \u201cThird, we certainly won\u2019t start from Warsaw, Paris, or Berlin. The first to be hit will be London.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s crystal clear that the threat to the world comes from the Anglo-Saxons,\u201d Gurulyov added.<\/p>\n<p>Gurulyov said Russia\u2019s opening attacks would also aim to destroy \u201ccritically important sites to cut off and immobilize the energy supply to western Europe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI shall see what the U.S.A. will tell western Europe on continuing their fight in the cold, without food and electricity,\u201d Gurulyov said. \u201cI wonder how they will manage to stay aside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gurulyov ended by saying, \u201cThis is the rough plan, and I deliberately leave out certain moments because they are not to be discussed on TV.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time Gurulyov has alluded to war between Russia and NATO. During a June 17 segment on the Russian state-run program \u201cEvening with Vladimir Solovyev\u201d, Gurulyov said the <a href=\"https:\/\/americanmilitarynews.com\/2022\/06\/russia-says-its-ready-for-big-colossal-war-with-nato\/\">Russian military is prepared for a \u201cbig colossal war\u201d with NATO. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>During Gurulyov\u2019s appearance on the Solovyev show, the former Russian general said NATO \u201cmade their move\u201d by supplying weapons to Ukraine to fight against Russian invasion forces. \u201cNow it\u2019s our turn. How will we respond to these challenges? We should respond the same way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gurulyov said Russian forces still have much of Ukraine left to subdue before its forces move far enough west to reach Ukraine\u2019s border with Poland. He added that Russia\u2019s military production is increasing and once Russian troops reach the western edge of Ukraine, \u201cWe have to consider every option up to a big colossal war and be ready for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre we ready?\u201d Gurulyov added. \u201cWe\u2019re ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/americanmilitarynews.com\/2022\/06\/russian-lawmaker-names-first-city-russia-will-strike-if-world-war-iii-begins\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If and when Ukraine makes a move on the Crimea with Western help, Moscow has its targets prioritised <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":265010,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[91],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-265009","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-russia"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=265009"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265009\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":265038,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265009\/revisions\/265038"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/265010"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=265009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=265009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=265009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
