Documentary filmmaker and movie director Oliver Stone took to Twitter on Monday and stated his concerns over “potential Neocon objectives” that involve the government of the United States “setting the stage” to blame the Russian Federation for a “low-yield nuclear explosion” in the eastern Donbass region of Ukraine.
“I’ve been following the Ukraine situation since 2014 with Robert Parry leading the way as a teacher. I’ve followed the burnings in Odessa, the persecution without legal rights and murders of journalists, mayors, politicians, and citizens. I’ve followed the banning of the main opposition party, which had higher polls than the Zelenskyy government,” Stone wrote in the statement.
In his statement, Stone expressed his shock at what he described as “the sheer hatred expressed against the Russian-Ukrainian minority,” which he said was “long and sad story” resulting from “the 2014 coup, co-engineered by the U.S., which stripped Ukraine of it’s neutrality and made it vociferously anti-Russian.”
In the eight years since 2014, Stone said thousands of innocent people in the region have been killed, “none of which was seriously covered by our media.”
Stone pointed out how Victoria Nuland, who was an instrumental American figure in the Ukrainian “Revolution of Dignity” that many have described as a U.S.-backed coup that took place in 2014, has “once again emerged out of the blue, warning the Russians, and us — the target audience — that if the Russians use a nuclear device of any kind, there’ll be hell to pay.”

Stone wrote that the notion of “Russia going nuclear” has been “picked up by a host of [Biden] Administration officials and TV channels in the following days, amplifying the same idea…”
The documentarian added that the amplified warnings of a nuclear Russia came after Russian President Vladimir Putin restated his country’s nuclear policy, which the documentary filmmaker stated is “not as aggressive as our nuclear posture.”
“This made me wonder, why repeat this over and over? First, there were all the war crimes charges which came fast and furious and need serious investigation and evidence,” Stone wrote.
Stone then speculated that the U.S. may be “setting the stage for a low-yield nuclear explosion, of unknown origin, somewhere in the Donbass region, killing thousands of Ukrainians…”
“Of course, if that happened, God forbid, all the world’s eyes would be trained, like a Pavlov dog, to blame Russia,” he said, adding that “the guilt has already been set up in advance, regardless of who launched the device.”
He suggested this would “impact the remaining 50% of world opinion” that still does not back Ukraine. “Russia would be Satan, Beelzebub,” Stone wrote.
Stone, featured as an Executive Producer in the 2016 documentary Ukraine on Fire, added that “it’s hard to know where a nuclear device is fired from,” and suggested the West could exploit the fog of war around Ukraine.
“It would probably take a few days to find out the truth, but the truth isn’t important,” Stone said. “The perception is, and the U.S. is running a perception war with great skill and blunt force, saturating the CNN/Fox airwaves and our satellite countries in Europe and Asia as I’ve never seen before.”
“In doing this, we’d be one step closer to creating another Yeltsin, who can create for our country another huge ideological and business opportunity. But, more important, in the bargain, isolate China from Russia,” Stone continued. “Of course, China would be the next target if Russia falls.”
“This, I believe, is the dream scenario of the neoconservative anarchists in our government to make what they deem a better ‘ruled-based world,'” Stone concluded.
Russia invaded its neighbor earlier this year after a years long standoff over the disputed Donbass region in eastern Ukraine. Russia claims it launched a “special military operation” to protect ethnic Russians in the Donetsk and Luhansk breakaway republics from Ukrainian state violence, while Ukraine and its allies say the invasion was unprovoked.
