According to Russian media reports, on October 7, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega congratulated Russian President Putin on his happy 70th birthday.
In the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the mutual accusation of each other of sending nuclear threats to , this congratulatory message is more like a phantom of world peace.
is also on October 7 local time. US President Biden said in an internal activity of the Democratic Party that since the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, human beings have faced the real threat of possible outbreak of nuclear war among major powers for the first time.
On the same day, Russian President's press secretary Peskov pointed his finger at Ukraine, Britain and the United States, trying to provoke World War III. It is understood that in a speech on October 6, Zelensky said that NATO should launch a "preemptive" strike against Russia to avoid Russia's use of nuclear weapon .
This is interpreted by the outside world as Ukraine requires Britain and the United States to use nuclear weapons to directly attack Russia. In fact, Western media have been hyping up the topic of nuclear war recently. Judging from the root of this problem, it is indeed Russia's first signal to "use all means to defend Russian territory."
, all means, naturally include nuclear weapons. Western media and politicians interpret this information as Russia was the first to send out the " nuclear war signal". It is not groundless.
But based on this, it is obviously a means of attacking the Western public opinion for provoking the threat of nuclear war.
On the one hand, this war itself is caused by NATO's insistence on expanding eastward and squeezing Russia's living space. The United States and the West belong to the "fault first" side in international strategies. It is impossible for NATO to deploy the missile at the gate of Russia. Don't let Putin fight back.
On the other hand, Putin said that Russia will use all means to protect territorial security. Even if, as the West said, it is sending out a nuclear threat, it is also self-defense.
The West can fight against Russia on the issue of "referendum" in the four regions in eastern Ukraine, but it cannot be said that Putin announced that he would use nuclear weapons to defend his territory, which is posing a nuclear threat to Europe and the United States.
From a practical perspective, Putin and the top Russian leaders frequently expressed their willingness to use "all means" to defend Russian territory, which is clearly warning Western countries not to interfere too much in the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Especially in the context of the current situation where the four eastern Ukraine have "entered Russia", the West continues to support Ukraine in fighting with Russia, which is equivalent to supporting Ukraine to attack Russia's mainland, which will lead to the rapid escalation of the Russian-Ukraine war and the risk of NATO being involved in it has increased significantly.
From this perspective, Russia is not threatening to use nuclear weapons against Europe and the United States, but threatening Europe and the United States not to increase support for Ukraine.
Putting aside the positions of all parties, it is natural to look at it from the perspective of the battlefield alone. It’s like two people are fighting, and one of them threatens the onlookers and is not allowed to help the other party fight him. This is the inevitable result of the war.
But the West deliberately ignores the premise of Russia's "protecting territorial security" and unilaterally emphasizes that Russia should use all means, including nuclear weapons, and then hypes that Russia has issued a nuclear threat to the West and the whole world, which is obviously arguing.
Secondly, Russia accused Ukraine and Europe and the United States of hyping up the topic of nuclear war and introducing the world to the brink of World War III, which is also tenable.
Because what Zelensky said was not to let Britain and the United States provide Ukraine with nuclear protection , but to ask NATO to "take the initiative" so that Russia does not have the opportunity to use nuclear weapons. As a nuclear-capable power, when will Russia lose the opportunity to use nuclear weapons? Of course it is when it is completely destroyed by the West.
To put it bluntly, Ukraine is inciting the United States and Western countries to directly launch nuclear strikes on Russia and destroy Russia's nuclear arsenal.
Putting aside the losses of Russia and Ukraine in this war and their respective positions, from the perspective of global nuclear war risks, it is obviously Europe and the United States, not Russia and Ukraine.
The reason is very simple. As the participant in the war, Russia and Ukraine suffered major damage in the war. In simple terms, it is just a terrible attack. A country in a state of emergency can be explained even if it issues a nuclear threat to the outside world.
But as third parties, Europe and the United States provoked a proxy war and did not directly participate.
Although Russia has been backfired due to sanctions on Russia in terms of economic consequences, this is considered to be a self-inflicted by Europe and the United States. In this case, they should not deliberately amplify and hype Russia's nuclear threat against the backdrop of increasingly tense situation in Russia and Ukraine.
Russia issued a nuclear warning to Europe and the United States, but it is aimed at NATO, which interferes in the Russian-Ukrainian war, not the world. Now the US and Western media are hyping this issue, which is actually turning the contradiction and game between the two inter-teams , the Warring States period, into global trouble.
Its purpose is to further promote Russia to be isolated by the international community, rather than really trying to reduce the risk of nuclear war. From this perspective, Russia may have a little ruthless style, but it is Europe and the United States that are "dominating". At least Russia knows that there are faults and debts, but for its own interests, Europe and the United States directly speculate on the risk of nuclear war, which has engulfed the world.
