Nuclear war could break out due to conflict on Russia’s borders

General Staff Chief, Army General Nikolay Makarov said that local armed conflicts along the perimeter of Russia's borders may occur more often after the collapse of the USSR. They could even grow into large-scale war using nuclear weapons under certain circumstances, Interfax said.

"The local armed conflicts may occur on the border," he said addressing the Russian Public Chamber on Thursday.

"I do not rule out that local and regional armed conflicts may escalate into large-scale war, including the use of nuclear weapons under certain circumstances," he said.

“There are attempts to include Ukraine and Georgia into the North-Atlantic Treaty Organization. Given the situation on our borders, it is clear there is a growing risk of Russia being pushed into various local conflicts,” said the general.

This isn't the first time Russian military officials have spoken of using nuclear weapons to resolve problems with NATO. One wonders if these guys are sniffing Krazy Glue.

They don't want NATO too close. NATO might do something to prevent them from acting militarily "on their border". Now, since nobody is likely to be invading mother Russia anytime soon, which side of the border do you suppose they want unimpeded ability to act on?

Trust the Russian's, they only have peace and cooperation in their hearts.
