Just 72 hours after Ukraine blowing up the Russian Crimea Bridge, Russia quickly bombed several important cities in Ukraine in the central and western regions, and specifically looked for important transportation lines, military management facilities, and important energy facilities. Afterwards, the Russian side also admitted that it was counterattacking Ukraine and warned the West not to provoke, because if it was too much, the Russian side did not guarantee anything to do. However, it has to be said that Russia's move obviously did not intimidate Western countries. The next day of the bombing, the United States' statement came, directly putting pressure on Putin and to fight until the last moment.
According to media reports, White House published a statement on its official website of Biden's 's counterattack against Russia. In the statement, Biden expressed his strong condemnation of the Russian military's actions, and claimed that this kind of counterattack and retaliation will only lead to the United States strengthening its commitment to Ukraine and further joining Western allies to make Russia pay the price for it. In his statement, Biden pointed out directly that the United States will stand together with the Ukrainian people "no matter how long it takes." It also warned Russia that it would be better to end its "invasion" as soon as possible to withdraw its troops quickly, otherwise it would cost Russia the price for it.
From Biden's statement, we can see that Russia seems to be bombing earth-shaking and has dealt a serious blow to Ukraine, but the West is still afraid of Russia's behavior. In other words, the West does not think they will continue to maintain this bombing behavior, nor does it even think that they have the ability to make the West afraid. In fact, this can be seen from the fact that Germany still aids air defense missiles to Ukraine. Although the specific route has not been announced, in terms of behavior, this is also a kind of contempt for Russia's military strength. After all, if you are really afraid, you should at least hesitate a little, or do something to cool down, instead of just saying that you will fight Russia to the end.
This attitude towards the West is actually not difficult to understand. Since the Russian-Ukraine conflict to the present, time has been delayed so long that the West has already figured out the foundation of Russia's conventional military power. The West is very clear that if Russia wants to put aside the nuclear weapon , it will definitely be difficult for Ukraine, which was armed by the West with heavy weapon . Therefore, when Russia clearly stated that it would abide by the agreement of the five-nuclear countries on nuclear weapons, the West would naturally not take this bombing seriously. In their opinion, the bombing is not on them, and the pain is quite limited.
Therefore, the White House's statement was very provocative, and it can even be said to be a direct bullying Putin's face, making Putin face the most critical and difficult choice. As the saying goes, one move will decline again and three times. Now that the bombing has not worked, the White House issued a "Biden Statement" and the provocation intensified. Under such a critical situation, will Putin choose to use the last step and then raise nuclear deterrence?
answers we don’t know, but the Russian bombing has set precedents one after another. If the Russian army cannot continue to deter the Ukrainian army and the West, all the past will only be like passing clouds. This is extremely dangerous because it means that Russia is losing its power, and the West will continue to put severe pressure and strikes on Russia. Therefore, Putin's choice will be crucial at this time. (Tu Su)
