Recently, US President Biden publicly made "nuclear doomsday" remarks when attending a Democratic election, saying that the United States has never been as dangerous as it is now since the Cuban missile crisis. He said that Putin is a person who says what he says, which means that Russia "is likely to use nuclear weapon against Ukraine."
However, it seems that the United States does not buy Biden's speech. White House "extinguishes fire" twice in just a few days, clarifying that the relevant remarks are not based on intelligence, and reiterates that although the situation in Russia and Ukraine is very tense, there is no sign that Moscow is preparing to launch an nuclear strike against .
What is even more rare is that in an interview, White House strategic communication coordinator Kirby was abnormal and did not continue to rush into the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Instead, he said that the crisis should be resolved through diplomatic means, as if he had obtained the wrong script.
In fact, the change in the US attitude is completely expected, because more and more people realize that if the war continues, if the United States continues to assist Kiev and finally causes trouble, the probability of being pulled into the water by Ukraine is there.
For example, former US President Trump recently criticized Biden and accused the United States of saying wrong words to Russia. He also reminded Washington's senior officials that Russia-Ukraine negotiations should be prompted as soon as possible. If a cautious response method is not adopted, the Russian-Ukraine conflict may become the fuse of World War III.
Trump's meaning is very clear. If the "three wars" break out, the United States, as the big brother of the Western camp, naturally cannot stay out of it. Unlike the previous two world wars, , at that time, due to the limitations of technological level, the United States was able to maintain the greatest peace.
This happens to be one of the important reasons why the United States was able to completely replace British hegemony after the war and become the most powerful country in the world, because at that time, the major powers were destroyed by the war, but the United States' mainland was almost intact, and its economy also achieved rapid growth during the war.
But today is different from the past. Once the "three battles" are launched, it can only be a luxury to imagine being as lucky as in the past. Russia not only has the ability to fight the United States, but also has a very strong ability. Moscow has thousands of nuclear warheads and . Even if Washington's anti-missile network is tight, it cannot withstand saturated nuclear strikes.
Even if only a few nuclear warheads fall to the local area, it is a completely unbearable loss for the United States. Based on this, Washington not only has to raise his hands to oppose the nuclear war , but also has to prevent such situations from happening as much as possible.
Frankly speaking, at this stage, the so-called world war and nuclear war are more or less sensational, because the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has not reached that point. From the perspective of battlefield situation, although the Ukrainian army recovered a lot of lost territory through waves of counterattacks. But the four states in eastern Ukraine are still held in Russia, and Moscow still has the strategic initiative and there is no need to use nuclear weapons.
is just that the situation is not static. If Western countries led by the United States continue to advance and Kiev's behavior becomes more and more extreme, causing Russia to feel that it is impossible to retreat, it is hard to say whether they will press the nuclear button . On the issue of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States has left itself a way out and has not sent troops to directly participate in the war so far. If you realize that something is wrong, you can immediately withdraw.
But Ukraine is different. The United States regards Kiev as a pawn, and Zelensky is also using the West to realize its ambitions. He knew very well that Ukraine would definitely not be able to beat Russia by itself. If he wanted to have a relatively good ending, he could only be deeply bound to the West and even pulled , NATO into the water.
Last weekend, Crimea Bridge was bombed. Putin has determined that it was done by Ukrainian agent . This shows that the Kiev authorities are changing their strategies in order to reverse the situation and try to destroy Russian civil infrastructure. This time it is the Crimea Bridge. What about next time?
When Ukraine deliberately escalates the conflict, it is hard to predict what will happen next. Zelensky is obviously gambling. He is forcing NATO to intervene. Not to mention that nine out of ten bets will lose, even if the bet is won, will it be a good end?
