For Russia, the intensity of Western aid to Ukraine is still increasing. When will it end? Will there be an established NATO force directly involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict in the future? Some Russian people began to think that instead of being forced to that step, Russia would really rather have another Cuban Missile Crisis.
"A second Cuban Missile Crisis should be created"
A video of a Russian lawmaker calling for "a new Cuban Missile Crisis in the Ukraine conflict " is going viral on social media.
The American " News Weekly " said on July 4 that Russian Duma member Andrei Gurulev suggested on Russian state television when discussing the topic of the Russia-Ukraine conflict that Russia's hypersonics should be The deployment of weapons to areas where they can attack US soil will force US President Biden to come to the negotiating table with Russia and stop providing weapons Ukraine .
Gurulev mentioned the various weapons that Western countries have promised to provide to Ukraine: "Now the United States is delivering to Ukraine multiple rocket launchers , howitzers , and they will deliver anything to Ukraine, even nuclear bombs, just to Don’t let us win.” “Next, they will send out aircraft, air defense systems , and then anti-missile systems , etc., and they will not calm down.”
American "Daily Beast" reporter Julia Davis . shared the video to her Twitter account and wrote: "Russian state TV propagandists advocate creating another Cuban missile crisis (this time with the hypersonic missile ) to force the United States to "Concession" "They also proposed the total destruction of Ukraine's critical infrastructure and warned other countries: 'You are next. '"
The video has been viewed more than 130,000 times.
The reason why this video of a Russian congressman caused such a strong reaction actually reflects the anxious mentality of both the United States and Russia. For the United States, Russia's hypersonic missiles are a real threat, and the Pentagon has not yet come up with reciprocal countermeasures. Such a passive scene may indeed remind many Americans of their fear of being targeted by Soviet nuclear missiles during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
"Newsweek" admitted that the United States, Russia and China are currently competing to develop hypersonic missiles. However, on June 30, the Pentagon once again admitted that the U.S. Navy's hypersonic missile failed in the test, which led to growing concerns about the "U.S. It lags behind Russia and China in developing such weapons." Especially in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia has repeatedly shown off its hypersonic weapons capabilities, especially the first to put the "Dagger" hypersonic missile into actual combat.
As for Russia, the West’s continued military assistance, especially the shipment of more and more advanced weapons into Ukraine, is gradually weakening the Russian army’s equipment and technology advantages. Gurulev’s speech also reflected Russia’s further concerns: The intensity of Western aid to Ukraine is still increasing. When will it end? Will there be an established NATO force directly involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict in the future? Rather than being forced to that point, Russia would really rather have another Cuban Missile Crisis. After all, the United States made significant concessions to resolve the Cuban Missile Crisis, and NATO withdrew nuclear missiles deployed in Turkey.
But if the situation is once again pushed to the brink of a "new Cuban Missile Crisis", it will be extremely dangerous for the whole world.
