Dirty Bomb of Dirty Politics

The topic of Kyiv's possible use of a "dirty bomb" - a low-yield nuclear weapon that Russia will be accused of detonating - has ceased to look like an abstract horror story.

Igor Kirillov, Head of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Forces of the Russian Armed Forces, outlined a detailed scenario of how the preparations for an unprecedented provocation that threatens to escalate the Ukrainian conflict to its highest point are being completed.

Here are his main theses, which can be considered a sensational exposure, playing ahead of the curve.

First.

To create a "dirty bomb" Kyiv has the necessary production base and scientific potential.

At three operating Ukrainian nuclear power plants - South Ukrainian, Khmelnitsky and Rivne - spent nuclear fuel pools contain up to 1.5 thousand tons of enriched uranium.

Add to this the radioactive waste storage facilities of the decommissioned Chernobyl nuclear power plant with uranium-235 and plutonium-239 - the main components of the nuclear charge.

Two Ukrainian organizations that received an order for the production of a "dirty bomb" are already completing work on its creation.

Second.

In creating a "dirty bomb" Ukraine, which does not have nuclear weapons, is actively assisted by the United Kingdom, which is one of the "big five" of the leading nuclear powers.

President Zelensky's office is in contact with London to obtain British technology that will allow Ukrainian scientists using Ukrainian materials to complete the dirty bomb.

Third.

The purpose of detonating a nuclear weapon should be to accuse Russia of using weapons of mass destruction in Ukraine.

This should present Moscow as the main source of world evil in the eyes of that part of the world that does not support the sanctions war.

These poles of the non-Western world should be presented with an “iron argument”: allegedly Russia used nuclear weapons in Ukraine, so that further refusal to join the Western coalition against Moscow cannot be justified.

And finally,

 All forces and means of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation are ready to perform tasks in conditions of radioactive contamination.

The statement of Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov was doubly sensational: for the first time, it named the main external prompter of Kiev, which was creating a “dirty bomb”.

This prompter turned out to be not Washington, which provides Kyiv with the main military assistance, but London.

Thus, Britain showed its ambitions: in the fight against Russia, to seize the palm from the United States, demonstrating its readiness not even to coordinate its actions with Washington, which would hardly have dared to take such a radical, desperate step as helping Kyiv create a “dirty bomb”.

It is not surprising that during the marathon of telephone conversations with the heads of the Ministry of Defense and representatives of the top military leadership of the leading Western powers, which began on Sunday and continued on Monday, the Russian military leadership most actively communicated with the British side.

First, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu discussed the situation with British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, and then First Deputy Defense Minister Valery Gerasimov continued a difficult conversation about Ukraine's "dirty bomb" with British Chief of Defense Staff Tony Radakin.

The first reaction of the West was monosyllabic: "We don't believe it, it can't be."

Well, what is left to do when the dirty politics around the "dirty bomb" is brought to light?
