US media published a document saying that in the current situation of Russia's successive defeats in the East Ukrainian front, Russian President Putin hinted that he was preparing to use the nuclear weapon . Putin made this statement in a TV speech. Putin also announced that Russia will implement local mobilization. He has ordered the mobilization of up to 300,000 reserve troops to deal with the situation where Ukrainian regained a large amount of territory in East Ukrainian in recent weeks.
Putin further emphasized that the West must take his warning of using nuclear weapons seriously. In order to protect Russia and the people, Russia will definitely use all the means it masters, and this is not a bluff.
Putin also reiterated that it has been seven months since the Russian army entered Ukraine, and its goal is to "liberate" the Donbass region in eastern Ukraine, where people do not want to be part of Ukraine.
US media said in the article that at present, the United States and Russia have about 90% of the world's nuclear weapons reserves, and both sides have nuclear weapons reserves of more than 10,000 nuclear warheads. However, even so, neither country has the ability to completely destroy the opponent's nuclear arsenal in the first nuclear strike against to ensure the ability to paralyze the enemy's nuclear counterattack. In view of this fact, neither of the two countries dares to take the lead in launching a nuclear strike, because any use of strategic nuclear weapons will lead to a full-scale nuclear counterattack from the enemy. But the key to the problem now is " tactical nuclear weapons ", which Putin believes that he can use in limited attacks - such as a tactical nuclear strike against an isolated military target, which can maximize the killing of enemies and avoid civilian casualties. Or Russia may detonate a nuclear bomb over the Black Sea to warn NATO countries not to aid Ukraine.
US experts believe that even tactical nuclear weapons specifically used to invest in wars pose great risks. Even if the Russian army does not use strategic nuclear weapons and only uses tactical nuclear weapons to strike, it may further escalate subsequent conflicts and lose control. If the war between the United States and Russia escalates, the cost will be very heavy. It is expected that more than 90 million people will be killed or injured, not including other countries.
Now Russia is in a retreating state on the front battlefield. After defeating a large area of Ukrainian territory in the early stage, it is in a stalemate with the Ukrainian army. In the subsequent counterattack of Eastern Wu, the Russian army was actually chased by the Ukrainian army and abandoned its armor. Although the Russian army refused to admit its failure, the land was lost in large areas, and the front line continued to shrink to the Eastern Wu region. If Putin was in desperate situations, he might use tactical nuclear weapons to attempt to "change the situation" to avoid failure or break the deadlock on the battlefield.
However, Brother Hu believes that all this is forced by the United States and its Western allies, and the West has to swallow this bitter fruit by itself. Long before the outbreak of the Russian-Ukraine War, the West instigated Ukraine to carry out a color revolution and overthrew the democratically elected government. The West behind the scenes instructed Ukraine to launch provocative actions against the Russian army, which resulted in dissatisfaction among the people in the East Ukrainian region and led to the country's war and division. Moreover, the West also expressed support for Ukraine's accession to NATO. Not only did the West stop it, but it also provided Ukraine with personnel training and arms support to fight against Russia. According to Russian media, the West is taking the lives of Ukrainian soldiers to release Russia's blood.
Hu Ge believes that Russia is not as fragile as to easily use nuclear weapons when fighting a conventional war. The current situation is that the Ukrainian army has made progress only in Dongwu, but on the southwest and southern fronts, the Ukrainian army's counterattacks mostly ended in failure. Moreover, with Putin's regional mobilization order, hundreds of thousands of Russian reserve troops will be successively put into the front line for combat. With the support of the reserve troops, the problem of Russian long-term insufficient troops will be greatly alleviated. With full support, not to mention defending the position, the Russian army even had the possibility of counterattacking from Dongwu to Kharkov .
After all, the Russian army has great advantages over Ukraine in terms of personnel, equipment and logistics. As the old saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Ukraine can hold on with the assistance of the West, but the West cannot provide support to the Ukrainian army indefinitely. Once the support of the West stagnates or slows down, the Ukrainian army that is now strong is by no means an opponent of the Russian army after mobilizing. Under such circumstances, the Russian top leaders will naturally not use nuclear weapons. The US media’s ideas can be said to be overwhelming, but we must also think about it carefully. Will the United States be able to survive if it really forces Russia to the extreme?
