Recently, with the holding of Ukraine in many places in Russia, the tension in Russia and Ukraine has escalated again. In addition to the increasing frequent firefights on the front battlefield, the gunpowder smell between the United States and Russia is becoming increasingly strong, and the risks of nuclear war are increasing exponentially.
on the issue of referendum to Russia. In the face of referendums in Zaporoze, Lugansk, Donetsk, Khelson, Khelson, , the Biden administration, which has always been unfavorable to Russia, naturally refuses to recognize the legitimacy of the referendum, because the referendum results in these regions are likely to be joining Russia. However, at present, Russia obviously doesn't care. The public referendum to Russia only needs to comply with Russian laws, without the legal recognition of Western countries.
There is no doubt that if these regions are determined to become Russia's territory, then the Kiev government of Ukraine will attack these regions at this time. From an identity perspective, the Ukrainian army will undoubtedly change from defenders to invaders. The roles of the two will inevitably give Russia more powerful reasons for counterattack, and national mobilization is entirely possible. In addition, the vice chairman of the Russian Security Conference, Medvedev , has publicly stated that nuclear weapons will be protected in these newly joined Russian territories.
It is obvious that Russia is indeed forced to make such dangerous remarks. But there is also the Biden administration in the United States. After Medvedev made a statement, the US response also followed. Recently, US Secretary of State Blinken said in an interview that the United States has conducted direct contact and dialogue with Russia on the issue of nuclear threat . In addition, the United States has also formulated a counter plan for Russia to use nuclear weapons.
There is no doubt that both sides are actually using nuclear threats to engage in political games. Russia hopes to force the Kiev government of Ukraine and the Western countries behind it to recognize the legitimacy of the referendum, and even if it does not recognize it, it cannot continue to launch fire strikes on these areas. The threat from the United States obviously does not want to see such a situation happen. After all, if the referendum results are recognized, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict may end abruptly, which is not in line with the purpose of weakening Russia's comprehensive national strength. Therefore, in the face of Russia's nuclear threat, the United States has to use nuclear threats to threaten it.
On the surface, the game between the United States and Russia is equal, but in fact, the United States has been led by Russia invisibly. First, Russia has the initiative, and the United States can only respond passively. Judging from the current relevant statements of the United States and Russia, whether nuclear weapons are used depends on the decision of the Russian Putin authorities. As long as Russia does not press the button for a day, the United States can only be passively worried. Second, even if Russia takes serious action, the United States' countermeasures are weak. If Russia is really serious, will the United States dare to use nuclear weapons against Russia? The answer is impossible. Based on this situation, at the economic level, the sanctions imposed on Russia by Western countries on Russia have reached the limit, and it is even more difficult to go further, so the countermeasures are very weak. Third, if the nuclear threat issue is not resolved for a long time, the results of the referendum will become increasingly stable. There is no doubt that under Russia's operation, the whirlpool of the situation in Russia and Ukraine has changed from a referendum issue to a nuclear threat issue. The United States is not unclear, but it is helpless, because compared to Ukrainian territorial referendum to Russia, the nuclear issue is definitely more important. In this case, as long as the nuclear threat issue is not resolved for a day, Western countries will not dare to fight against Russia on the referendum issue.
Invisibly, the nuclear threat has become a protective umbrella for the referendum to Russia. Even if Western countries are stubborn and threatening, they have to be firmly suppressed by the Putin authorities. This incident actually reflects that the world's attitude towards the nuclear issue is still very consistent. After all, anyone is afraid of it. Once a nuclear bomb is dropped, it is likely to cause a series of immeasurable impacts.It is precisely because of this psychological deterrence that the Putin authorities have become invincible in the issue of referendum to Russia.
